How often should I oil the machines?

For this type of work (normally pretty slow) I would do it for every 4 hours of use but if doing heavy and hard I'd drop that back to every 2 hours. I do, do the bobbin area with a couple of drops every second bobbin though. When they are quite quite I feel better

(I sew shoeless lol.....I like to feel the pedal like when I drive a manual car....shoeless as well lol)

True story.....I nearly got shot doing that once. Very HOT day and the Police pulled me over and asked me to get out of the car. Hot road so I reached down to get my shoes and the next thing I had a gun through the window next to my head. Luckily after he stopped shaking he recognised me and all turned out alright in the end.

Wow! Close call! Lol well I put the shoes on the passenger seat but my husband did tell me I need to learn to drive with shoes on lmbo. I will take that oiling advice!

Gee Brian, those Qld cops have always acted first then asked questions, I still have fond memories of walking around Brisbane CBD about 10 o'clock one night in 1969 and walking into a couple of the boys walking the beat.

I to do not wear foot ware while driving, Hmm, need to remember that.
