Members truenorth Posted November 22, 2013 Members Report Posted November 22, 2013 Heres another question, does anybody leave material under the presser foot while the machine is not being used?Will it damage, wear anything? Quote
Members gottaknow Posted November 22, 2013 Members Report Posted November 22, 2013 It won't hurt a thing. It's standard practice in factories to contain any migrating oil overnight that tends to travel down the needle and presser bars. Cotton works best. Regards, Eric Quote
Members RoyalLeatherDesigns Posted November 22, 2013 Members Report Posted November 22, 2013 Gottaknow that explains why I see this done a lot in factories. It makes sense especially if its a standard practice for you to use your lube pot. I didn't think of it but will definitely start to do it. Could also prevent from dust and debris to get in there if you leave your machine sitting for a while especially if you do wood work in the same room. Good idea! Ralph Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 22, 2013 Members Report Posted November 22, 2013 I always do. As gottaknow said because of the oil and I sometimes do test sewing on this piece Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
