Hi Vikki, Thanks for your video and instructions. Just a suggestion on what I used to keep the plates in the correct order, I threaded a strong twine through the openings on the plates, keeping the more or less parallel, before lifting them completely out. Then I cleaned them individually and let them dry with the twine still in place, before reassembling. I doubt if I would have got them back in the correct order without the twine holding them together. Jac
Hi, I saw your video. I have the same machine, but it’s very old because I used it a lot in the past. Then I closed it and when I re opened it , it was completely blocked. I cleaned it with steam and now The selection lever and the buttons go perfectly except number 7 and 8. They go togheter
The buttons on the carriage on one of my Brother machine kept sticking and not releasing. I used Ballistol Oil which comes with a thin plastic tube which fits into the spray can. A couple of squirts and the buttons released. The oil is also really good at cleaning the needles.
That’s a great tip Anne, thank you. Brother carriage buttons are notorious for sticking. I’m not sure if that particular oil is available in the UK, but there will certainly be an equivalent. Using one with a thin applicator tube makes it easier to ‘hit the right spot’ when lubricating the machine. Happy knitting.
