Members Tallbald Posted April 16, 2014 Members Report Posted April 16, 2014 I'm awaiting arrival of my new Cowboy CB3500. Looked through the accessories but will have to build up funds a bit before buying anything extra. A lube/wax pot is one option, but a search here says no results found (for wax pot). Why and when would I need one? Are lube pots an electrically heated tank for lubing the machine's parts or the thread? I expect to be using only synthetic threads, not cotton. Thanks. Don Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted April 16, 2014 Moderator Report Posted April 16, 2014 LOL. The lube pot is not for the machine's oil. It is for the top thread, in case it is too dry. In that case, one can pour liquid silicon in the pot and route the thread through it.

Members oltoot Posted April 16, 2014 Members Report Posted April 16, 2014 If you sew much, you will probably run in to thread that is dry and fuzzy and gives you nightmares if you don't lube it and smooth it up Quote
