Tin Lizzie 18 oil?
I have a Tin Lizzie 18 sit-down and an ESP version on a 12-foot frame, and need oil for them. Does anyone know which oil is appropriate for this machine? Amazon has several available (I'm looking for a good amount to keep me going for a while) but I want to be sure which is best.
Any suggestions? Thanks! |
I use the Zoom oil on my Pfaff P3 (which is a Tin Lizzie 18 clone).
this is what my bottle looks like. https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...im=1,2,3,4,6,8 |
You can use Zoom oil on all sewing machines except for Berninas. Bernina makes it's own oil.

I use whatever oil I have for my Tin Lizzie..as long as it's sewing machine oil. I have lily white, zoom oil and singer oil all here near my machines and grab one or the other when I need oil. Tin Lizzie's are tough machines, just keep oiling and cleaning and it should last you forever!

I'm with the rest of the group. When I had my Queen Quilter (the cheaper version of the TL18), I used the Zoom oil. I now have an APQS Millenium & use the same oil for it.

Welcome to this board. I have 2 DSMs that need to be oiled and I do it. regularly. I buy a quart at a time.
|
You can use any oil that says it's specifically for sewing machines. Don't use 3-in-1.

I buy sewing machine oil by the quart for my Gammill and then use it on my Pfaff for piecing, too. I think it is called Sew Rite, and I get it from my Gammill dealer.

I needed machine oil and grease for my machine. Checking out the internet I found Tri Flow. I couldn't find it at Walmart or Lowe's. If I see it somewhere I will try it. They did say not to use 3 n 1, which I have been using for a long time, lol. The grease goes on my ESE 2 which is 25 years old and has started squeaking on the bottom bar. I have put that embroidery machine through tons of work and it is still going strong.
