Cleaning the Machine Exterior
To keep your sewing machine operating well, clean it often.
No lubrication (oiling) is needed.
Wipe the exterior surface of your machine with a soft cloth
to remove any dust or lint built up.
Wipe the screen with a clean, soft and slightly damp
microfiber cloth.
Removing the Needle Plate and
Cleaning the Bobbin Area
Lower the feed teeth by touching the presser foot up and extra
lift button. Turn off the machine.
• Remove the presser foot and slide off the bobbin cover.
• Place the screwdriver under the needle plate as shown in
the picture and gently turn the screwdriver to pop off the
needle plate.
• Clean the feed teeth with the brush found with the
accessories.
Cleaning Under the Bobbin Area
Clean the area under the bobbin case after sewing several
projects or any time you notice an accumulation of lint in the
bobbin case area.
• Remove the bobbin case holder (A) covering the front
part of the bobbin case by lifting it up.
• Remove the bobbin case (B) by lifting it up.
• Clean with the brush.
Use caution when cleaning around the automatic thread
cutter knife (C).
• Put the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder back in
place.
Note: Do not blow air into the bobbin case area. The dust and lint will
be blown into your machine.
Note: When using optional accessories like cutwork and/or felting
needles, it is necessary to clean the bobbin area after each embroidered
design/project.
Note: Regularly clean the lint and threads from the bobbin area. Check
the area when changing the needle plate.
