Brother VX Repair

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.

The lubricants dry out over time and become sticky and eventually

harden into a crusty material. 

These old lubricants and all debris must be removed.

Thorough cleaning is essential.

Then re-lubricate.

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

or a rotary hook assembly like most top loading sewing machines.

Needle bar adjustment is always a concern, but the

adjustments are very similar from one machine to another.
