Yes. You can stuff it back and and just put a tiny drop of oil on it. It is just a wick made of felt like fabric. Mine was pulled out and not replaced when I had it cleaned. I contacted a janome dealer and was told it is not a big deal. to cut felt so that it fits in. And it's ok to put a tiny drop of oil.

My Janome dealer has told me Janome's don't ever have to be oiled??? Which being mechanically inclined did not make since. I have the magnolia 7330 and it is now making noise when I sew. Bird chirping, especially when free motion quilting. I will have to do some research now.

I did the same thing when I got my first Janome. I thought it was lint. I just put it back in the hole and the machine is going strong. That is the only place that you still have to oil. I don't think it is something that will damage the machine.

You can put a little oil where the shaft is on the needle magnesium but never oil anything on it unless it tell you too. You do add a drop of oil where the wick if under the bobbin but only a bit. The owner of the store where I bought mine told me this, he said it will help to add a drop of oil every now in then, keeps it going smooth. Some wont tell you that, they want to do it all. Most of these machines are computerized and dont need oil, but it does need a little on the wick under the bobbin. I think all my machines has that. Just poke it back in and give it some oil, it should be ok.
