Thank you so much for this class! Super informative on the maintenance of your sewing machine. I've always been intimidated to unscrew anything on my machine, like I'm going to break something, but after watching this I'm more confident that I can do this more in-depth general clean up. It's going to save me a good bit of time and money, not only it's not cheap for my sewing machine guy to clean it, now there are fewer people who do this maintenance in my area and I have to drive 60 miles to the closest reputable repair shop. Thank you CreativeBug!
