Take a look at these photos—this is what happens when lint builds up inside a sewing machine! Over time, fabric fibers, dust, and thread fragments collect in the inner workings, leading to:
🔧 Thread tension issues – Uneven stitches or thread breakage can be caused by clogged tension discs.
🚫 Jammed mechanisms – Lint can prevent moving parts from functioning smoothly, causing skipped stitches or even complete failure.
⚙️ Increased wear & tear – Excess lint traps oil and debris, leading to faster wear on gears and components.
🔥 Overheating & motor strain – A dirty machine has to work harder, putting extra stress on the motor.
