I've used this technique before, not on a daily basis, but used it at least once a year.
That's another quick trick for an emergency back up that I use if I'm out of sewing machine needles for that day.
I've seen this hint many times over the years. As long as you clean the bobbin area afterward you should be fine.
You're right, and keeping it oiled as needed.
I'd rather use the sandpaper, not sure on that steel wool.
