  • It won't stain, and it washes clean (see our wash test below)

  • Use with vintage, modern, industrial, commercial, longarm, embroidery, and home sewing machines

How and When to Oil

One drop at all oiling points is all that is needed for every 8 hours of sewing. It's also a good idea to give one tiny drop to the bobbin case—the two small rectangular holes behind the bobbin case—every time you change a bobbin or sit down to sew. Always follow your machine's instruction manual for oiling: your Manual or Adjuster's Service Manual will illustrate all the oiling points* for your machine, and you'll find cleaning and oiling tutorials under our tutorial and video tabs.  You can also download our oiling sheet.
