The attached is from a post title Exasperation - Happy Now (April 14,2005).
The orginal info is from Melco although there seems to be some controversy
using WD40. It worked quite well after I was having tons of problems from
using sticking adhesive backing and adhesive sprays.

WHAT!?!??!
I have trouble believing that they think the presser foot should be all the way
down on everything!!
That seems to go against all the documentation and common sense of why it is
even there.
Is it any wonder that we have so many problems when the people we count on for
answers aren't even consistent.
Oh well
I also heard that we weren't supposed to touch the machine at all with WD-40
anywhere at anytime.
I could be wrong though.
I learn something new everyday.
