Do you ever look inside your machine? Does this look familiar? I call this- making batting.
Here is a list of some great resources to help you figure out what to do and how to do it-that is, clean and oil your sewing machine. We all want our machines to last forever. I get a little sad when the machine is in the shop- even for a good cleaning. I don’t like to see it in such a state! Why don’t I keep better care of it?
This is where the little list below will be helpful:

cleaning a sewing machine is also an art of work. sometimes we got messed up in the process. but its not very hard to worry about. we regularly needs to clean and oil our sewing machine for the best use. do you suggest some specific fabric to do so?
