Spring Cleaning!

I needed to clean the lint out of my Singer 201 since lots of lint has built up under the feed dogs. Well, I took it one step further in cleaning. I decided to tackle cleaning the hook, case, and race area. I had heard how difficult this can be to reinstall the hook. So, I hunted for an excellent tutorial to follow. Luckily for me, someone was very kind to post photos on removal and installing these parts. From that tutorial, I discovered that this job wasn't daunting at all. It was extremely easy to do! Here are before and after photos of the race:
