About this listen
Grab your brushes — this episode of the Quilting Central Podcast is a deep-dive into keeping your sewing machine humming like a dream. Julie, Angie, and Cathy explain why regular sewing machine cleaning and machine maintenance isn’t optional (hint: lint is the sneaky enemy), walk through the exact tools you’ll need — think small soft brushes and sewing machine oil (and absolutely no canned air) — and then demo the whole process step-by-step.
You’ll hear:
Why routine machine maintenance saves frustration, time, and money.
A friendly, practical sewing machine cleaning tutorial as each host cleans a different machine: Julie breaks down a side-loading Bernina with a metal hook, Cathy walks through a top-loading Janome, and Angie finishes with longarm cleaning tips.
The right tools to use (and what to avoid), plus quick troubleshooting tips after cleaning.
Whether you’re new to sewing or a longtime quilter, this episode makes sewing machine care simple, safe, and even a little satisfying. Tune in for clear demos, pro tips, and the confidence to tackle your next sewing machine cleaning like a pro.
