Here are a few modifications I made to my sewing machine. These simple mods allow you to start sewing with success, not a mess.

First Mod: place washers on the inside of the needle driver arm and the pressure foot arm (in between the frame and arms). Doing so will allow those arms to move smoothly.
Second Mod: Place a locking washer on the crank, so it does not come off while sewing.
Third Mod: File the bottom of your presser foot; most of these machines come with a presser foot with very sharp edges. Lightly file the bottom until the edges become smooth, this will ensure that you do not cut into your leather projects while sewing.
Fourth Mod: Using a small round file; file the sewing bar where the thread comes out the side. Doing this allows you to thread the bobbin and close the plate, without cutting your thread.
Parts to smoothen up a bit: The bobbin shuttle/bobbin case. (You can use a Dremel or sandpaper)
Lastly, I go over a few oiling spots on these machines. If you would like to see more on oiling these machines check out: https://youtu.be/M8SI3Yui1Qk
