Keeping your sewing machine well-oiled is essential for smooth operation and longevity. If you’re wondering how to oil a sewing machine, here’s a simple guide to help you maintain it properly.
First, make sure your machine is unplugged to avoid any accidents. Remove the needle and presser foot, then clean the machine thoroughly to remove lint and dust. Use a soft brush or a lint-free cloth.
Next, apply sewing machine oil to the moving parts. Focus on the shuttle hook, bobbin case, and other metal joints where friction occurs. Be careful to use only sewing machine oil — other oils can damage your machine.
After oiling, manually turn the handwheel several times to distribute the oil evenly. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean cloth.
Regular maintenance, including knowing how to oil a sewing machine, helps prevent damage and keeps your projects running smoothly. Always refer to your machine’s manual for specific instructions. Proper care ensures your sewing machine stays reliable for years!
