Funny . . . I have a Janome and my husband wanted to oil the darn thing too! He couldn't figure out where to oil it. Glad he stopped there . . . and I took it in to have it serviced. He has oiled my old Singer and all of his classic cars, my Kirby . . . and thought it was weird not to be able to oil my new manchine. Guys . . . can't live with them nor without them. <GGG>
