1. Keep the sewing machine covered. Dust is the enemy of                    machinery.
2. We should change the needles regularly.

4. Have it professionally serviced each year.
5. Sewing machines benefit from regular oiling.Always use only          sewing machine oil for this purpose.
6. Get the machine repaired by an experienced professional.
7. Clean the machine regularly, only one part at a time.
8. Wipe down the machine over each use.

TYPE OF OIL

Oiling a sewing machine is often part of its regular maintenance. Properly oiling the machine keeps it running properly.We should use only oil designed for sewing machines. It is a transparent (clear) mineral oil with no smell. It is usually marketed as sewing machine oil.The oil has a light viscosity and will not collect on the machine's gears.

TIPS FOR OILING

If the machine is used everyday, oil it once a week. If you do not use it very regularly, then oiling once a month is sufficient.  To oil thoroughly, remove the upper thread, needle plate, slide plate, face plate, bobbin case, and needle and presser foot. Put sewing machine oil in all oil holes and joints where one part rubs against another. One or two drops of oil are enough for each point. While oiling, turn the fly wheel back and forth to facilitate the flow of the oil to different moving parts. It is necessary to oil the shuttle case.After oiling the sewing machine, wipe away the excess oil and reassemble the machine.

Embroidery can also be done with other materials, such as pearls, beads, quills, sequins, shells, precious and semi-precious stones, seeds, etc.   MATERIALS Fabric - preferably something not stretchy. Cotton works perfectly. In this tutorial, I am using unbleached muslin which is a loosely-woven cotton fabric. Embroidery hoop - Wood or plastic is fine. I prefer the plastic ones as the wooden ones tend to break easily. Plastic hoops are more expensive, but I've found them to be worth the extra money. Embroidery floss - Floss is made up of six strands of thread. You can separate the strands if you'd like. Fewer strands make thinner stitches. I find six stands stitche
