What is your satisfaction level with this machine?
I love it, but don't know how to care for it. I live in an isolated area and even if I could afford the high price for maintenance, I would like to know how to do it.
I do basic cleaning, getting all the threads and lint out of the machine, but don't know if it needs oiling or what else is needed to care for it.
Lessons Learned
- This is the 4th machine I have purchased, all of them the same model or newer. I bought them for my daughter, niece and daughter-in-law. They take them to Sears once a year for a "tune up", but pay $125.00 since they are considered "computer machines".
