If I put a drop of oil in my bobbin, my machine will grind to a complete halt. My manual specifically says to NOT oil. I've had it for about 4-5 years now and it use it almost daily...never oiled. :-)
Sooooo, after making that statement, I again read my manual and it doesn't mention anything about oiling or lubricating machine. Now I am absolutely positive that I did read it somewhere in the materials that came with the machine when I purchased it, because I was VERY skeptical when I saw it said to not oil. I had never before heard of a machine not needing to be oiled and I have been sewing for more than 30 years (some of it industrial). :-o
