• Then remove the thread bobbin plate and thoroughly clean inside all the openings with the vacuum and if there are pieces of fabric or thread stuck use either your tweezers or a toothpick to remove these pieces that have wound around any of the machine parts
• Loosen all the grime between the teeth on the gears and then lubricate all the moving machine parts with machine oil and use the grease on the gears only.
