Change My Needle???
Did you know that your sewing machine needle should be changed about
every 6 to 8 hours of use? That is correct. Not 6-8 days, months, or even years, but hours. A needle can get dull at the point. This causes the machine to work harder. It can also lead to larger holes in your fabric. This will causes stitching problems. A needle may also become slightly bent. When this happens, it can cause skipped stitches, thread breakage, and also thread shredding. If you are having any of these issues, try changing your needle. This could be a 50 cent fix for you.

My Machine Has Never Been Serviced!
In my 30 years of being in this business, I have heard that statement numerous times. I almost shudder when I hear it. It seems that a sewing machine is the most neglected piece of machinery around. A sewing machine is a machine. It has moving parts. They will get out of adjustment and require cleaning and lubrication regularly. Just as a vehicle needs to be maintained, so does a sewing machine. I also hear "I don't use it that much." Just as with a vehicle, not using a machine is worse than using all of the time. When mechanical things sit, for an extended amount of time, things dry out and start to deteriorate. The normal service intervals for sewing machines is once every year or two. Keeping a machine serviced will extend the life of the machine and also keep in tip top shape.
