Dee, I have to say that I laughed when I read your story. I would think the same thing, why would my hubby even think he could find something that I, as an experienced sewer, could not find. I would have slightly angry words toward my hubby, sounds like you held your tongue just fine. :lol:
I just got a used Bernina that I haven't used much. I'm wondering if I need to oil in that area too, so I'm curious how you make out doing that. I don't imagine it would hurt anything to oil it.
