I know some of you are sick and tired of hearing about the amount of stitches we put on a machine.. I have put a 1/2 million on this 780D Brother since it was serviced.. kept the bobbin case cleaned out, changed needles frequently, and it is starting to act up already?

Did I just get a lemon here? My cousin has a machine almost like it and sews millions of stitches with no problems.....
Any suggestions?

Carolyn, perhaps, next time you service your machine, you should creates a photograph tutorial and share it with your Cute Sisters??????

I would be glad to put oil in it but I don't know how. There is only on screw in the back of it but I don't see where that piece comes apart. It seems to be molded in the front. It is a 780D Brother. If you have one of these and oil it - please post how.

How in the world do you know how many stitches you have put on the machine? Is there a gauge on the Brother machines?

I'm also never seen that mysterious stitchcounter :o) Had my Janome last month in service for the first time (my xmas-present 2007!) and now it works better. Paid 83,-€ (113,-$) for cleaning and bring it back in the old shape...

There is another question right now that asks how many stitches should you put on your machine between servicing. I was going to say 1/2 million stitches, but I think I have put that many on this little brother since I started this 4 months ago. I am not ready for it to "start acting up".
