In the spirit of sewing machine maintenance (see last week’s needle changing post) let’s do another quiz. WITHOUT GOOGLING the answer: How Often Should you Clean/Dust Out Your Sewing Machine? I will post the answer along with a little video tomorrow. Let’s hear your thoughts!

Who’s up for a little quiz today and some honest confessions???? HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR SEWING MACHINE NEEDLE???- Answer below in the survey PS..no shame here!
