The oil is helping a little better. I'm still having to wipe down the needle but not as often. I have 5 Row-by-Rows already pressed up and ready to stitch so this may take me awhile. But, I'd rather not do buttonhole on these. They're not really the kind for buttonhole. So, lesson learned. I'll try the heat n bond lite next time. Maybe it won't be as bad.
Thanks for your quick help. You all are the greatest.
