Care routine for your sewing machine – How to keep it in top shape

You love sewing as much as we do and know that a well-maintained sewing machine is the key to perfect sewing results. Here are some simple and quick care tips that you should make a routine to ensure that your sewing machine always stays in top shape.

1. Cleaning – little effort, big impact

Let's start with a classic: regular cleaning. Turn off the sewing machine, unplug it and remove coarse dirt with a soft cloth. The best way to remove fine dust is with a brush (many machines come with this as an accessory). Your machine will thank you with a long service life.

2. Oil is the key to suppleness

The moving parts of your sewing machine require regular maintenance in the form of oil. Use the oil recommended by the manufacturer and regularly give the moving parts the care they deserve. Be careful not to use too much oil as this can lead to unwanted residue.

3. Change needle regularly

A blunt needle can not only result in poor stitching, but also damage the sewing machine. Replace it regularly, especially after about eight hours of intensive use. Choose the right needle for the fabric you are using to achieve the best results and avoid unnecessary stress.

4. Keep an eye on the thread tension

The correct thread tension is crucial for a perfect sewing result. Check the tension regularly and adjust it if necessary. A simple test on a scrap of fabric will give you the certainty that everything is set optimally.

5. Use protective cover

If your sewing machine is not in use, cover it during the break. This will not only keep it clean, but will also protect it from direct sunlight, which can lead to material wear in the long term. Your machine will thank you with continued reliability.

Conclusion: Your sewing machine deserves the best care

Take care of your sewing machine with love and it will always be a loyal companion. With these simple and quick steps, you can ensure that your sewing machine is as passionate about sewing as you are. Regular care not only extends the life of your machine, but also improves the quality of your sewing work.

Give your machine the attention it deserves and experience the joy of perfect sewing results!
