Default Tri-Flow products and Featherweight

[ATTACH=CONFIG]512015[/ATTACH]

Cleaning and oiling/greasing my Featherweight.

The one on the left (lubricant) goes in the holes and the one on the right (grease) goes in the gears, correct?
Thanks!

You are correct. However neither goes in the motor.

Thanks, Joe. Do I just put nothing in the motor?

If the motor has grease tubes, a dab of vaseline in each end.

Singer motor lube if you have some or can find some, ( it's discontinued ) or petroleum jelly.
You can also get what Nova Montgomery sells:
{ http://www.novamontgomery.com/shop/S...t-x4312153.htm }
She says it's very close if not the same as the original Singer lube. I haven't tried it yet, but will eventually.

Thanks, Joe. I'm going to try it. Her video was really good, too. It helps a lot since I am a visual learner.
