Thanks, i have to give this a try with the machine oil. I tried the wax paper and cloth with hopes that the wax paper would keep the needle from glue build-up but it didn't work. We were just trying anything we could to stop the glue build-up problem. So that was the reason for wax paper in the sewing room at this time. LOL

I have to ask...
what do you use wax paper for in your sewing room???i keep seeing mentions of it but have no idea what you could possibly be doing with it.
I have used freezer paper in my sewing room for years- it is a staple in my sewing ... but wax paper---other than pressing fall leaves between sheets of it- what do you do with it???
i realize some people do not know there is a difference between wax paper and freezer paper-
freezer paper is white- comes in a big blue box- is a (butcher's paper) strong- white paper on one side- plastic coating on the other side- you can write on the paper side- it is easy to see through- you press the plastic side to fabrics...it leaves no residue and is re=usable.
Wax paper is a transparent paper with wax on both sides- when you press it the wax melts and comes off on anything you may press it to. in grade school we collected leaves and pressed them between 2 sheets of wax paper.
so--what is wax paper good for in sewing???
