I was watching Alex Anderson this morning and she did mention the oil stains from the sewing machine. She said to take a childs toothbrush and brush on cornstarch and let it stand for about 24 hours and it should take out the oil stain.

Great advice everyone! The Dawn dishwashing liquid worked great! I worked it in, let it sit, then took a toothbrush lightly to it. I washed it in HOT water, and then let it airdry. Came out like nothing had happened!

I read just today on someone's Quilt Blog that the same thing happened to them, on white fabric, and they used Murphy's Soap, which took the machine oil/grease right out. I think it would be worth a try.
