Ditto, from everything I've read WD-40 is not good for sewing machines.

I completely with the above statement...and I would call the "doctor" and advise him that his advice is more dangerous than helpful.......

Please don't use WD40. Mom and I bought Pfaffs in the 70's and it was the thing to use WD40 on them. Needless to say they became sticky and gunky and was a real mess. The dealers soon learned it was not the thing to do. I know this from experience.

This is the first time I have used this person but he has great reviews. He is actually listed as the "Sewing Machine Doctor". I'll let you know how it goes.

Send that man to Texas!
