Oiling sewing machines

Here is a source for manuals. Recheck your model no. to see if you left a couple digits out.

As this guide suggest, if you are not sure where to oil, take the machine in for service & ask the tech to walk you through how to maintain your machine.

Each machine is different. I have a Janome and oil it when I finish a project (unless it is flannel or fleece) and I only oil it under the bobbin. My old Elna, I oiled after a couple of projects, but had a lot more places that need oil.

It really depends on how much you sew as to how often you need oil. So, it's hard to tell you exactly when. If it starts "chirping" at you, it is time NOW.
