Did I ruin my machine?
Today, knowing that I was going to try out the ruffler and practice for a Christening gown I'm working on, I oiled my Singer 301. So, I'm looking at the instructions, take off the bottom, drip oil all over, take off the top, look at all the arrows, and when I'm done I take a closer look at the written instructions.
Do not ever oil the gears. Oops. I oiled the gears. You are supposed to use "lubricant", which apparently is a different species from oil.
I did set up the ruffler and try it out. What do I do?
