Before you get started, it’s necessary to gather the necessary supplies for oiling the sewing machine. Of course, you’ll need a bottle of quality sewing machine oil, lint free cloth, a clean soft brush, and a dust cover or plastic sheet to protect the sewing machine while it’s inactive. Some experts also recommend white petroleum jelly and a toothpick for certain components.<\/p>\n
Once you have all of the supplies, it’s time to start prepping the oiling process. Start by making sure the machine is unplugged and only use the oil that’s recommended by Singer. Any other substitutes may cause damage to the motor and cause the machine to not work. Any oil used must be specifically formulated for use in a sewing machine.<\/p>\n
First, inspect the interior parts of the machine for caked-on fibers or other lint. Remove them with a brush and a small tool like a toothpick. Next, use some white petroleum jelly to lubricate the movable parts, such as the thread take-up lever and the needle bar. Many manuals suggest avoiding the use of petroleum jelly on the bobbin winder and elsewhere in the machine.<\/p>\n
