    Thank you for posting the link to this tutorial! At last, I know where to put the oil in my machine! And I've whiled away a few hours reading her other tutorials about the 440QE. Thanks again!

    Thanks for posting this tutorial link for cleaning and oiling our machines. I clean mine every time that I change a bobbin, whether it's because I've used it up or because I need a different color. I live in a very dusty area and have a cat that sheds, plus you'd be surprised how much lint from fabrics, threads, and batting that you can get in a short time. She didn't mention it, but I also clean the foot and in the shaft, needle threader and lightbulb area, because they need it too.

    I use a Pfaff, so I'm going to have to look to see if there is a release lever to pop that section of bobbin out to clean it even more thoroughly. I get my brush into every little nook and cranny that it will fit inside the machine around that bobbin area. As for oiling, I tend to do it during the time that I'm cleaning it if I can't remember the last time that it was done...or if it has started making noise.

    I'm starting a new project this weekend, so tomorrow's my day to clean my machine. My husband was astounded at the amount of lint it collects inside. I just explained to him it needs to be cleaned regularly, just like his (16) guitar(s) need new strings regularly. Now he asks if I've done it. Thanks for the link.
