HSTs and Machine Update
 |
| preparing to make HSTs for star points July 2021 |
Last week, I showed you the stars made with bonus HSTs. Since I needed more stars, I used the eight at a time method to make more HSTs for star points.
A week ago, I took my sewing machine to the Bernina dealer in Fort Collins, CO where it was serviced in May. Luckily, three technicians were in the shop, and simply by hearing the machine run at high speed, one of techs was able to diagnose the problem. She did some adjustments, and the machine ran smoothly without any problem. I was not charged for the adjustments, and it's been running great.
I always oil the machine (usually after five bobbin changes), but the technicians agreed that machines should be oiled after four hours of sewing.
I've used that method to make HSTs too, but mine are never marked as carefully as yours are. I'm sure glad your machine is humming along nicely now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your machine is working well now. I didn't know machines were supposed to be oiled so often. I'll have to take care of that on mine as well.

Glad you could get your machine fixed quickly and at no charge! I had never heard of needing to oil a machine after just 4 hours of sewing. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me that I need to oil my machines when I finally dig them out of the pile of stuff I have in the sewing room. I am very guilty of not oiling them or my spinning wheels often enough.
ReplyDeleteHum four hours of sewing? I’ll have to pay more attention to that. I generally oil and clean once a month or if the machine sounds clunky. I clean every time I change the bobbin whether I’ve run out or need a different color. Glad it’s working so well.
ReplyDeleteGood info..not sure mine has ever been oiled....Sears circa 1974:)
ReplyDeleteI did t realise that the machines needed oiling so often either, thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI love this way to make HST's--it is a real assembly line way of making them! lol
ReplyDeleteSo glad for the happy ending to the machine repair!
