Sewing Machine Oil

I have never worked on a sewing machine in my life. A lot of things happened during lockdown. I discovered skills I didn't know I had. I have always been a bit handy in that I didn't need to have my husband do minor repairs on things. I know how to use a drill, a saw, a hammer, etc. It's amazing what one can accomplish when the fear of breaking something is taken off the table. So, I had this 1958 Brother Flairmatic in my garage for a few years. And it spent a lifetime in my grandfather's garage,, which became my father's garage and when he passed, I have his entire house in my house and garage. I found a curb jewel, a white 1970s-80s model zigzag machine, all metal, and had never used a machine like that before. It has a clutch issue but when I got it all cleaned up and I de-gunked its innerds, the smoothness of its operation was incredible. *scowls at my later model Kenmore* So I decided to dig out the brother and see what I could do for it. It ended up being a huge undertaking as I am completely inexperienced and it was completely seized. Nothing moved. I spent a couple hours tearing it down, doing a preliminary cleaning with wd40 and pb blaster, figuring out how it worked, filming my tear-down in case I forgot how I took it apart, and then putting it partially back together. It was an horrendous mess. I left it overnight with some liquid wrench sprayed all over its undercarriage and set it upside down to soak. The next day with some muscle I was able to dislodge the main camshaft. From then on, it was downhill. I scrubbed on those gears, cams, rods, and joints with a fine wire brush and awaited my delivery of this machine oil which showed up that day and when I put together completely after cleaning all the solvent off of it and put a coating of this stuff on it, holy moly. It moves like a dream. *Give my made-to-break Kenmore the hairy eyeball* I have since figured out what was wrong with my Kenmore after 2 years of adjusting the needle swing and hook timing to no avail. It's a stinking NYLON cam that was split all the way up from the pin alignment notch. It created an 1/8 of an inch of play which caused missed stitches much like bad hook timing. But that part is discontinued so I'm left with only a choice of either printing a new one (which I suck at "Big girl CAD"), or welding the nylon on this one. Did I mention how much I love steel geared machines? And this oil. And I agree, a telescoping tip would make this a bottle of perfection. But it makes what was once seized as if the parts were welded together, to them moving against one another like silk smothered in melted butter. Like Elvis' voice! haha! UPDATE 11/21/24 So, after I did all that, I don't know if you can tell in the photos, but I was working on it in my food truck order counter because my garage has a ton of crap in it, as does my house. So I continued to use this crappy base model Brother that my cousin gave me because she can't sew buttons, let alone use a machine. It has a weird linear gear instead of the perpendicular round, tapered ones that operate the shuttle race and the stupid linear thing kept unscrewing itself. Talk about a design flaw, but I screwed the screw back in with some thread glue and have had no problems so I never swapped it out. I had to build a base for the old brother and wasn't motivated to do it. But I finally have and did another quick once-over on it, ordered a foot pedal when it probably once had a knee switch, new shuttle hook and bobbin, and figured out the clutch issues. That one little stop washer on the handwheel can go in 4 different ways and only one is correct. WOW! This thing will sew through whatever you can shove under the foot. Which, unfortunately has a short clearance and is a low shank. I would love it if I could figure out a way to make it raise just a little more, but still. I've been sewing seat covers with several layers of vinyl at some seams and wonder why this was cast into the shed. And as for the white, I think I might be upgrading the motor to have more power. If the thread gets caught somewhere or whatever, instead of breaking it, the needle shaft behaves like the stop washer is installed incorrectly. Same if I have two layers of vinyl. It just objects to my choice of fabric. Anyway, Thanks again for the excellent lubricant which I have found many other uses for besides just my sewing machines. Any machines love this stuff. LOVE it. My box and oscillating fans bearings, any bearings honestly, any rusted steel... Lots of things.

Great machine oil.

good, easy to find substitute for clear Hammond organ tonewheel generator oil.

Complemento para dar mantenimiento a mi máquina. Excelente

Best sewing machine oil for vintage Singers. Just wish it came in a larger bottle so I could refill my little refillable that have metal tips.

Was quick to ship, well packaged to prevent leakage. Competitive pricing--real deal with authentic Singer oil! Would recommend. A+
