30 minute video In this video I’ll walk you through my daily longarm maintenance routine. These are things we should be doing daily to help maintain our machines
I’ve always used alcohol to wipe down my wheels and tracks. Works great. Also use a compressed air blower to clean out my bobbin area - and blow off thread bits from my leaders. I used to use a paint brush but found compressed air worked better for me.
Do you have an instruction list available as there are several maintenance items didn’t realize needed to be done. Very thorough video-thanks for sharing, Valerie!
That oil absorbing sheet is brilliant and I will definitely find some to use because I do keep a clear plastic cover on my table for covering my paper pantographs, and when the oil drips it warp the plastic.
I really appreciate the instructions for keeping the machine and frame clean. I am awaiting the delivery of my first machine and frame, and strangely I never heard this helpful information. Thank you.
You are a real machine lover. The better you care for it, the longer it lasts. I dont own a long arm, but your advice and tips are so valuable to us all.
Valerie, Great tips for every quilt cleaning. I clean my machine in similar ways by not every quilt, now I know better, and learned about cleaning the wheels. Thank you for very important tips!!
This was a great video which clearly shows the importance of keeping your machine clean, oiled, and dust free. Thanks for the useful tips.

Your instructions are wonderful. I'll go back through your video again and take notes so I can remember them all! Thank you!!
Can you post your list of cleaning steps?

I’ve had my Gammill for 15+ years and I learned a bunch of things today. 🥰 Thank you for upping my maintenance game!
Thanks for doing this video. I see that I have several areas that you pointed out that I haven't been taking proper care of.
New to your channel. Great tips even for those of us who don't have a long arm. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for all the great information. I try to clean my wheels but it’s hard to get everything off. I am going to try the whiteboard cleaner.
Thank you, I didn't know about the rail cleaner.
