Here's what to do....

• Oil your machine, and then un-thread the needle and run it at 5-6% speed for 2-3 minutes.
  This will keep the oil moving in the parts so that they won't get goopy.
• Follow this procedure when you return from vacation.
  It's a simple procedure, but an important one to keep your machine running at its best.

Remember: It is harder on the machine to sit than it is for it to sew.
