Caring for a Hand-Turned Sewing Machine | Husqvarna Freja 1883-1925

I have wanted to do a video exclusively about Freja for some time, and here it is! She was due for a tune-up, and I was due a reminder of all the spots where she needs oil. She runs so much smoother now. I definitely had forgotten a spot or two the last couple of times I applied oil.

I hope you enjoy this little adventure into the care and maintenance of hand-turned sewing machines. 🙂
