How often should you oil your machine? For reference I just got mine a month ago to make masks, I use it everyday but my projects are all very small. Thank you for this video! Came here looking on how to oil it and learned that there’s probably a whole mess under there! 😭

Great advice. Excellent advice and it was actually good to see your “ dirty” machine.....let’s others see what you are describing to do and where the lint collects. I use a large bird feather ( no I don’t go around plucking birds....) we have a lake near our home and I collect the shedded feathers.....they are softer for the internal areas and fit into all the small crevices.....a few drops on the feather and they reach inside where your hand cannot! Thank you for sharing this valuable information....most (maybe or maybe not have ) like me , several machines that cost quite a few dollars and I like to keep all of them in good working condition.

I love watching videos with hopes of gaining some tips and or tricks. Anything I didn't already know I gladly absorb. If you watch videos, I'm sure you'll relate to statement. A lot of the time its things I've learned 10 years ago and have. Weeded out the tried and true vs. Not so much. Then I run across videos like yours & learn something very helpful. Makes me think to myself... Where's your common sense been Nichole? I am referring to using a paint brush to apply oil to our machines. Thanks for sharing.

Shirley Huestis There are three places to avoid getting oil. 1: the drive belt, because traction, not slipperiness is needed. 2. Electricals. 3. Where your project fabric or fingers are going. Oil actively attracts dust. It is also possible to use WD40. Where moving metal rubs metal, that's what needs lubricant.

I watched the video for that very reason too. I was a little frustrated because I had my machine opn and was ready. I just went to my manual and it said not to oil the machine ever.

I use a vacuum attachment while also using a soft paint brush, toothbrush or the cleaning brushes made specifically for sewing machines. The lint gets sucked up instead of falling down into the machine. Also, remove the needle so you don't get pricked. I clean the bobbin area whenever I change bobbins and take things apart after each big project. And refer to your owner's manual for oiling. Thanks for this informative tutorial!

@@Charmedbyashley Actually, I used it the other day because I’ve been making my son a big tee shirt quilt for Christmas with all of his old varsity tee shirts. I put polar fleece on the back and it causes tremendous fluff to get back in the bobbin area. My machine locked up on me. I think that may be the problem. I use an old Brother LS2125 and have been looking on KZitem for videos on how to take it apart to find the problem. So far I’m stuck, still have to sew the binding on,and Christmas is coming soon.
