spurdude101 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 I see the 29's have the little cup for a lube. I also see other machines do not. what type of lube is used, and why? someone told me to get some felt and use machine oil and run the thread under the felt. the machine oil didn't sound right to me. how about neetsfoot oil? or a beeswax lanolin mix? thanks. Also why only this machine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted February 27, 2011 Alot of older machines needed the thread lubed because all they had was cotton & linen thread that had to be lubed to sew,nowadays nylon thread you really don't need it until your sewing around 3/4". There is silicone thread lube avaiable . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
