Thank you for your generously detailed video. I have been sewing since the age of 5 and started on a cast iron, hand crank Singer (still have it), moved on to a 1904 Singer tredle with Pheasant head, then an electric Singer featherweight, a Kenmore, a Bernina and now a Brother sewing machine. But...I had no idea how to do maintenance on these new, computerized machines. My Brother machine started making a horrific "knocking" sound. Every time I tried to sew, my Spouse complained that the noise was unbearable. I watched your video and felt at least 10 IQ points smarter. No more knocking noise and you 100% probably saved my marriage. You rock! Thank you again.

Recently bought a machine just before lockdown started here. Unable to take up offer of a couple of free lessons the store were running for novices. They recommended your site. Found your site so informative to understand as a complete novice and gave me the confidence to push myself a bit. After numerous novice errors and cotton and lint everywhere this was helpful. Back to a clean machine and now back to the face mask and scrubs bags production line. Big thanks on behalf of all us novices out here.

Thank you for this video! I inherited my grandmother's sewing machine and have been using it, but I really didn't know much about the maintenance. I just equated the squeaks and knotted threads to the age of the machine (it's about 40 years old) and thought it was just something I had to deal with. After seeing this I plan on buying some new needles and sewing machine oil and giving it a thorough cleaning!

Thank you for this simple video on basic sewing machine maintenance. It has saved me so much frustration and money. It is amazing how cleaning the lint out, changing the needle or simply rethreading the machine can fix most problems I've had. Before I'd get so frustrated. I was afraid to trust myself with trying to fix problems so I'd take it to a repair guy. He charged me a lot of money and all he probably did was clean or oil the machine. Again, my sincere thanks for giving me the necessary skills. I actually enjoy cleaning up my machine and taking care of it.

So my son in law fixed mine today. We had to take out the part that hides what you just oiled because the thread was stuck tightly in there. He gently pulled towards him the bottom part (where the thread loops back around and up) then carefully lifted the part upwards, releasing the plastic part of the machine. We then were able to safely remove the thread, and I could clearly access the piece you were oiling at 11:23 point of the video. Whew! He sure saved the day for me.

You have validated my concern and I am going to take that end piece off and oil that one on the inside as my machine sounds scratchy….and it’s skipping stitches when I sew slow…..does pretty good when sewing fast, but has the worst time sewing slowly.

Again, I enjoyed each of your vids so far even though I m not into sewing (let alone being a tailor). Initially was brought here while looking for info on sm505 portable sewing machine I found in a dumpster (new still in wraps, don't knw why they threw it away - probably due to them cleaning for upcoming Chinese New Year, been like these for years thats making dumpster diving during the period very fruitful 😊)... And been watching one vid after another for the evening... 😘

Saw Punished Props rec you on insta, and since I'm going to be getting mom's old sewing machine when she gets herself a new one for her birthday, this is a very timely vid! Thank you for making it!
