Members Therese Posted July 25, 2019 Members Report Posted July 25, 2019 Old, new to me - thread lubrication control mechanism seems to be missing (nut and plunger on front of machine). Is it necessary to lubricate modern bonded nylon thread? I will be sewing medium weight leather. Many thanks! Quote
mikesc Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Nope..not a problem at all ..absolutely no need to lubricate the thread you'll be sewing with.. I have a Singer 211U 166A..and some other sewing machines..They ( sewing machines ) sort of "follow you home"..they prefer to live in family groups, or tribes :) Edited July 25, 2019 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members brmax Posted July 25, 2019 Members Report Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Congrats on your new machine, I have never purchased a brand new machine either. So Answering your last part first; no its not necessary to use with either thread types. It in my opinion it can be considered as more a cooling lubricant enabling a faster production sew, without the thread melting from heat. If later on a need for parts, one of the dealers frequenting the site can be a big help, some are in ad banners above if you have them turned on or available. Im not sure how that works, my screen shows them all the time. I mention that as a photo could help because who knows what brand these extra pieces are. Have a good day Floyd Edited July 25, 2019 by brmax Quote
