I learned the hard way to run some remnant fabric through my machine after I oil it. It helps.
The Tide Stick worked find for my fabric. I only work with 100% cotton. Oil comes out a bit easier with warm water, so you may also want to wet a washcloth with warm water & rub after applying the Tide. If nothing else, I bet it will come out in the wash. Try not to worry too much, okay? |
I use the Resolve stain remover and it takes grease out of my husbands pants. Best stuff I have use so far. After I oil my machines for maintenance I use and old t-shirt and run lines or rows however many it takes til no more oil. Then one more time for good measure! I have also use Dawn and let it sit for a bit. Really impressed with the REsolve laundry stain remover though.

I use the blue Dawn dishwashing detergent for most oil stains on clothes. It's good to know that cornstarch will take out oil stains too. Thanks for the tips.
|
Whenever I oil my Bernina, I always make sure to stitch on a test strip to make sure none is going to come back on a quilt.

I used artificial sweetener to absorb the oil. I read it on the internet and it worked fine. I think you have to use the sweetener or cornstarch prior to adding any liquid or soap. Good luck

Great ideas all! I have tried the shampoo with no results so far, I'll try the cornstarch idea next. There are smudges and black spots on the back too. Oh why did I listen to bad advice?

I have good results with Dawn liquid soap for everything and it doesn't take much, just rub a little in fabric...
|
Try Dawn, the original formula or a Shout stain stick.
|
Blue dawn!
|
What is the difference between the blue Dawn and the others? Is it because they have colors and scents?
