Yes, Monica I am only going to use Sewing Machine Oil to clean this one! It is interesting as it has a lever like the foot release lever to release some pressure on the foot. This second lever is right above the foot release lever. I have never seen this on any of my other vintage/antique machines.











Candace, I will let you know how much I like using the 2-tone 301 after tonight when I take that machine to Strip Club!
