Repair Your Brother VX
Sewing Machine
The Brother VX series is a popular line of low end sewing machines.
It may be purchased through big box stores like Walmart.
This Brother VS 820 is a bit older,
but represents the line pretty well.
As with most sewing machines, the major problem is maintaining it.
If the machine sits in a closet for a year, it should be serviced prior to use.
If it is used ten hours a week, it may need service more often.
The key element is to remember that the lubricants and moving parts
are exposed to whatever is in the air: moisture, dust, sun, dirt, lint, etc.

Thorough cleaning is essential.
Then re-lubricate.

Sewing machines either use an oscillating hook assembly like this one,

adjustments are very similar from one machine to another.
