Members BDAZ Posted July 22, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2019 Only felt I have is bright red, which I use for restoring '20s banjo cases. Probably now have the most stylish 3200 in the neighborhood! Haven't tested it yet but looks cool! Bob Quote

Bob Hey Bob I don't know if it is normally done but I drop a few drops of oil on mine every 12 months or so and I would do it from the start myself.

Members Bert51 Posted July 22, 2019 Members Report Posted July 22, 2019 May I ask if "Thread Oil" would work better on the felt them normal "Sewing Machine Oil"? Thanks, Bert. Quote

I don't know as I have never tried it . The sewing machine oil I use if it drips on the leather it dries without leaving any signs ...so I just stick with that.

The 441's have 1-metal washer next to the felt on the spring side of the tension pushing against the roller.The CB3200 has a metal washer on either side of the roller.Both methods seem to work ok.

Members BDAZ Posted July 22, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2019 Felt on both sides seems to work as well. I'll be stitching later today and will see how it works on my next project. Maybe the bright red helps? Happy machines make happy stitches? Thanks! Bob Quote

I also use Sewing Machine Oil on my Adler 105-6 bottom tension felts, but just had a thought it might be okay to use on felt. Bert. Quote
