Oiling your machine between service appointments:
-
Check your sewing machine oil. If it is cloudy, golden or yellow clear, it's time to get some new sewing machine oil.
-
Check your bottle of sewing machine oil. If your sewing machine oil is cloudy, golden or yellow, it has impurities, and can gum up your sewing machine parts. Sewing machine oil should be clear or blue if you are using Bluecreeper SMO (sewing machine oil) which is blue.
-
Place the vintage bottle of sewing machine oil on your display shelf as a keepsake, and use either clear sewing machine oil like Lilly White or Bluecreeper SMO.
For Modern machines, most only need a drop of sewing machine oil on the bobbin case. Check your owners manual for your machine.
For Vintage machine, they need to be oiled more often, some oiling ports need oil with every use, or depending your usage. Check the owners manual for your machine.
