In order to service our antiques and make them sew in rivalry to the modern technology of our time, we begin with a simple assessment of the machines condition. Here we scan for any obvious problems or anything thats broken off or missing. In order to get a sense of how well the machine functions, we simply turn the wheel. Turning the wheel might be difficult, the machine might feel stiff, hard to operate, sticky even this is due to the grease and oil building up over time and clogging the gears of the machine. However, if the opposite occurs, if the wheel turns with ease, the machine will be plugged in and given a test run.
Next, the machine is opened up and dissected, so to speak. The lint is vacuumed out of the machine, as if its neglected the oil from the machine may soak the lint. This can result in the gears clogging. The hand wheel, bobbin case, hook, and tension assembly are removed and analyzed for snagged threads.
If there are any, they are removed one small thread out of place can seriously impact machine function. Then, the machine is inspected for wear and damage. Its checked for frayed and old wires, a damaged hook, and for separated or frayed belts. The needle bar, linkages, and presser foot bar are removed and placed into an alcohol solution to be cleaned and sterilized. The needle is usually removed and replaced, as old and broken needles are the leading cause of issues in sewing machine function.The stitch-forming station is disassembled and cleaned as appropriate, on a case-to-case basis. After being allowed to rest in the alcohol solution for sterilization, the parts of the machine are then hand polished. Any parts with dried oil are removed for cleaning. The motor and the commuter are opened, cleaned, and oiled.
Over time, motor brushes can accumulate oil which can cause the machine to smoke. Thus, the motor brushes of each machine are cleaned with care. The gears assemblies are also cleaned and the grease on them removed. Using the correct oil for a sewing machine is crucial absolutely never use household or WD-40 to oil a sewing machine. Always use a drop or two sewing machine oil, which is designed for the gears and mechanics of your machine household oil will dry out and varnish.
After the interior of the machine has been mended and cleaned, the exterior gets some love, too. It is wiped down and cleaned thoroughly and appropriate detail work is done.
