[amayausers] Re: It HAS been really quiet! and an outstanding question...

Mary,

I have been cleaning the bobbin area on my machine for almost 3.3 yrs with
WD-40.  That being said I have never sprayed WD-40 into the bobbin area.  I
spray the WD-40 into an old pickle jar lid and I soak a PURITAN cotton
tipped applicator and then swab the entire area to remove any residual
adhesive.  These swabs have a wooden stick that is about 6" long.  If you
flex the wooden stick as you rotate it between your hands it will splinter
leaving two pieces of the stick with relatively sharp tips that work very
well to remove the adhesive in and around the hook basket and under the hook
itself.  I use quire a bit of sticky backing and have to clean this area
about once a month fairly thoroughly with WD-40 and the cotton tipped
applicators.

If you send me your personal email I will send you a photo of the
applicators unless you a familiar with them.  I believe that I purchased
them at Home Depot.

Hi everyone. It sure got quiet on the list. I'm wondering if anything is
wrong. 
A question I have for the group is how to clean the bobbin area after using
sticky stabilizers. I had to clean a needle after only a small amount of
stitching using the fast frames. Is this usual? Is there a brand of sticky
stabilizer that is better than others for use with fast frames?

Thanks for any advice.

Mary
