What do you grease your machine with? The Design a Quilt sits on a pan of oil. ? I hadnt ever heard of it either but thats how this one is made. I just don't know what kind of oil to put in it and I don't know how full to fill it.

I don't know what you mean by setting on oil, and I don't know what sort of machine a DAQ is. But I have a longarm and I oil it at 6 different points every day, sometimes several times a day if I am quilting for a few hours. They use a lot of sewing machine oil. I also grease my machine once a month.
You need a manual to know how to service your mahine. A longarm is like a car--you need to maintain it well to have it work well.
