Extend the Life of Your Sewing Machine with Proper Care and Maintenance
At Stitch in the Ditch, we understand the value of maintaining your sewing machine, whether it's a cherished vintage model or a modern marvel. Proper care ensures not only the machine's longevity but also the quality of your sewing projects. Our selection of foot controls, power leads, oils, and greases are specifically chosen to meet the needs of both vintage and antique sewing machines, providing the tender loving care they require to operate smoothly for generations.
Optimizing Your Sewing Experience
The frequency of oiling your machine is crucial for its upkeep. Following the general rule of oiling the machine after every 8 hours of use will preserve its functionality and performance. For those dedicated to the preservation of older machines, you'll find our top-quality oils and greases indispensable.
Enhancing Sewing Comfort
Adopting the correct posture while sewing can significantly impact your comfort and endurance during long sewing sessions. Positioning your whole foot on the foot control, rather than just your toes, offers better stability and reduces fatigue. For those with machines equipped with a Free Hand System, sewing with the left foot allows your right to manage the system efficiently, promoting a more ergonomic setup.
At Stitch in the Ditch, we're committed to providing not just the tools for maintenance but also the tips for a better sewing experience. Explore our range of accessories to find everything you need for the care and comfort of your sewing practice.
