Apply oil to the moving parts of the Singer 360 sewing machine, especially where metal moves against metal. Lubricate the gears if they are specified as needing grease in the instruction manual. After oiling, run the machine slowly to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess with a lint-free cloth. Clean and polish thread guides, tension discs, the area around the presser foot, and needle bar to remove dust, lint, and oil. Avoid catching the take-up spring when cleaning the tension discs.

To tighten the thread tension on a Singer Fashion Mate 360 sewing machine, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Tension Assembly – Find the tension assembly, which includes the tension nut, tension spring, and tension discs. 2. Adjust the Tension Nut – Turn the tension nut clockwise to increase the tension. 3. Check the Thread Path – Ensure the thread is correctly positioned between the tension discs. 4. Test the Stitching – Sew a few stitches on a fabric scrap to check if the tension is properly adjusted. 5. Fine-Tune if Needed – If the tension is still too loose, continue tightening the nut slightly until the stitches appear balanced.
If the entire tension post is loose or comes off, tighten the securing pin as shown in the tension assembly instructions.
