On the positive side, I wouldn't trust my machine with anyone but the guy who has worked on my machines for years. His name is John and he knows what he's doing. :thumbup: John! |
Charlee, This almost makes you want to take a photo of this guy and post it at the local fabric shops witha caption" Don't let this man near your sewing machine" Susie

I can't believe someone like him is still in business. Most of us know our machines like the back of our hand. I feel bad for those who don't know how a machine should work and take theirs to him. Bad, bad, repair guy!!!!

Well, you don't actually grease the motor, you are filling up the motor tubes. You never want grease or oil in the motor rotors. Here is a hint that is in a machine REPAIR manual:
If your motor is running slow and just doesn't have any zip anymore, loosen the clutch to disengage the needle and step on the gas. Run it at top speed for a long time until you hear the motor change its sound. Then its run itself clean. It might take 10 mins, but you will hear the change in the motor's sound when it's finally cleaned. |
You're right Bella, my objection was to his suggestion that I use OIL in the motor ports.
What you're lubing is the gears...you don't want the lube on the bushings, etc. Once the motor is lubed, then you run it to "throw" the lube away so that it's just a coating on the gears... Or that's the way I understand it anyway... |
Charlee your a better person than I!!
I would have punched him in the mouth!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Billy |
Yep...this proves you don't have to have a brain to set up a business. Nothing peeves these kind of "repair" guys than a woman knowing more than they do. Rock on Charlee and I hope no-one gets ripped off by this charlatan.

Ouch, Thanks for all the informaion. My guy retired, and got dumb! He doesnt have the knowledge to work on the newer electronic machines without access to the company techs! Who knew?
|
Scary ain't it.

Charlee needs to drop this printed information off at the shop where they have hired an idiot to work on machines.
