I'm no expert but since your DH just cleaned it up and oiled it may need to be "run out". This helps get all the oil distributed. I seem to have the most problem getting stitch length mechanism to work smoothly. So run it full speed with no thread or bobbin in it for about 10 minutes is what I have read. You may try changing your stitch length during that time.
quilt attic,
Gee does that apply to me with the treadle machine too? Man running that treadle for ten minutes I'm gonna get my workout huh?
Sorry, just seemed funny to me with a treadle.
Do I have any takers for a workout?
