OK, I admit I'm not that good at maintenance. No, scratch that. I am terrible at maintenance. Can't remember the last time I cleaned and oiled my sewing machine .
It developed a nasty squeak a couple of days ago. Couldn't find the machine oil anywhere, so just stopped using it. Bought some today, got the manual out, oiled it in places I didn't even remember existed. It is what you might call 'well oiled' now . Having oiled it everywhere one is supposed to, I then ran the machine at varying speeds for some time. But it is still squeaking. The squeak hasn't even lost any of its original decibels.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Should I just give up and treat myself to a new sewing machine? (Someone please say yes to that last point )
How much do you spend on yourself?
