Amazing what a little oiling will do. Thank you for the important reminder!!
I have a Voyager and it gets a drink once per day if I have a quilt loaded & been working on it. Before I got it, I used an Elna 7200 domestic machine and I tried to remember to put a drop under the bobbin case when I loaded it on the frame and again when I took it off.
I was having issues with the Elna yesterday while piecing a denim & corduroy rag quilt and gave it a drop of oil since I don't remember when I did it last. That helped some but I think my real problem is dry thread or the corduroy and the thread not getting along. The thread seems to be rubbing on something--the corduroy I suspect--causing it to frazzle and then jam or break at the needle eye.
