Over time, particles of dust, pieces of thread and other debris can buildup inside your sewing machine and cause it to run poorly. Remove the thread, bobbin and face plate and vacuum out the inside of your sewing machine periodically.

Another thing to enhance this:
Take about an 18 inch long piece of flexible plastic tubing (like you use for a fish tank or a little larger). Using a piece of duct tape, tape over the end of your vacuum hose and attach the tubing (to attach the tubing making an airtight joining to maintain suction). Then vacuum your sewing machine. It allows you to get into every tiny crevice. When done just pull off the duct tape. If any residue of the tape sticks, it cleans off easily with rubbing alcohol. I do this and clean my sewing machine, serger and computer keyboards (and any other little nook or cranny I can't get into otherwise), then pull off the duct tape and save the tubing until the next time.
