My DH was getting a little testy over the constant drone of my feather weight while I pieced a king sized crumb quilt out of old scraps. I'mm tired of the klunk klunk klunk of the sewing machine....can you give it a rest for a while? Hmmmm, ah, no. So I went and gave my featherweight a good cleaning and oiling. Now it runs so quiet, you can't tell it is stitching. A quick demo bought me a reduction in sentence, and I am free to stitch onward and upward. I felt bad I had neglected my favorite sewing machine. How much longer and I might have ruined it. Just sharing a reminder to oil your machine, too.

I don't sew in the same room with family. They (DH) are too noisy for me. Check out this site for everything you need to know about Featherweight maintenance, tools, tips and care. http://www.novamontgomery.com/

Years ago, I was sewing while talking on the phone to my mother (me in Arizona, her is California) and she said you need to oil your machine and change your needle, LOL, it was amazing she never heard the important stuff but she sure tuned in on that machine.
