sewing machine oil substitues?
#1
I posted this in another thread, but thought it could be a thread its self. I am sure I am not the only one unsure about what can be used to oil a machine, or even know we should oil the machine... or maybe I am... so I am asking....can the oil that is used to oil hair cutters and electric razors be used to oil sewing machines?
Sadly I just recently learned about removing the bobbin casing thing, and oiling the machine... but I do not have sewing machine oil and of course forgot to get some. I am sure tomorrow I will start sewing on my scrappy fence and want to make sure everything is in tip top shape and oiled... thanks for the help
(sorry for the ellipses I tend to over use them...)

thanks sewwhat
blueangel, I don't know what the difference is either.
I was thinking, since both are metal, that the oil should be about the same. I have read and searched on google, but all I tend to find is that sewing machine oil can be used on clippers and razors... so the reverse should be true too right?

I'd only use sewing machine oil. Check your local stores that carry basic sewing supplies. Mine doesn't carry fabric but they have some thread and notions...one being sewing machine oil. Come to think of it ... call your grocery store ? maybe they have something by the lightbulbs and sewing notions...
