What do you put sewing machine oil in that has a spout to help place sewing machine oil where you want it? I have a couple of vintage machines that I would like to oil more often, but my Singer oil has a little short tip that makes a mess when I try to put a small amount in a certain spot.

I have a really nice one that I got from Kimberly who is my OSMG (old sewing machine gal) in Katy. It has a long spout that you can pull out to whatever length you need. I don't remember the name of the oil, I'll have to look when I get home. It's the oil she recommended for my FW.

Okay, I'm home and checked. I use Zoom Spout by Alpha Sews with a telescoping spout.

Here's a link to what we sell at the shop. https://www.brewersewing.com/p-24177...t-1oz-oil.aspx In case the link doesn't work, the part # is BP1322. It's called, "Oiler, W/extnd Spout & 1oz Oil."

My experience with every extending-spout oil I've had is that they're messy. They drip oil every time I pull out the spout (because it's covered with oil) and I always end up over-oiling because it drips so much and there's not much control over it (because the spout is covered with oil). Bad design, IMO.

Here's what I use. It's very inexpensive and refillable, and it's very easy to apply one single drop at a time. Just google "sewing machine oil syringe".

Totally agree with Peckish. Hate the spout thing...what a mess.
I also have the same precision pen point oiler. I got it from
amazon...so much better.

I have a bottle with a pull out spout. You pull the spout out, take off cap, oil machine, put cap back on and push spout down into the bottle. It works great and is not messy. I get a drop of oil, unless I keep squeezing the bottle. I don't remember where I got it, been about 8 or 9 years.

That's the kind I have, Phyllis. It works well for me and I like it. Not messy at all.

Eye drop bottles with a controlled dropper tip plug work well. I keep one with each of my machines.
