How to Oil a Sewing Machine

For our final post this week on ways to show our sewing machine some love, we are gathering some tips on oiling a sewing machine. Oiling your sewing machine is an important part of keeping those moving parts running smoothly.

We recommend consulting your owner’s manual, and only using a drop or two of oil. Be sure to run a scrap piece of fabric through your machine after oiling to ensure residue does not end up on your next sewing project.

On top of the video above, you can find even more tips & tricks in this detailed article. The pictures will help guide you step by step through the whole process.

Once your machine is clean inside & out, you should consider making a new sewing machine cover to keep it dust-free.
