Happy Embroidery Machine Maintenance
Happy machines are built for nonstop work, and a few minutes of care keeps them there. Follow the oiling chart in your operator manual; this is the routine most shops use.
Daily
- Blow lint out of the hook area and bobbin case.
- One drop of machine oil on the rotary hook.
- Check needles for burrs; change any that snag.
Weekly
- Clean the thread path and tension discs.
- Wipe and oil the points shown in the manual's oiling chart.
Monthly
- Check belts and the hoop drive for play.
- Back up designs and check for firmware updates.
