Last time I checked,Joann's carries the singer lube on their website. My local Joann's stopped carrying it about two months ago - they put it on discount and I bought their last 3 tubes. Check their website if you can't find it anywhere else.

I love the coupons from Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Hancocks that I can use at Joann's. My hubby calls me the 'Joann coupon queen'. I buy very little there that either isn't on sale or with a coupon.
I have a bunch of Singer machines that need the lube, and more tubes than I know. If used sparingly as it should be the tube of lube will last a very long time. I've got a couple of the old metal tube of the lube and it's better than the current stuff.
When I find it, I buy it. If need be you can always use it for barter material. But each machine should have it's own tube as far as I'm concerned.

Joe, I'm glad that you said that the old metal tubes of lube are still good. I got one a while ago just to have with my machines, but didn't think it was good any more. I've heard that the oil gets bad and thought that the lube did too. Now to find where I put it....
I've also got a good bunch of attachments,mostly short shank, but unfortunately some of the Singer button holers didn't come with the cover plate. I'd forgotten that they needed them, and hadn't looked for them when I got the button holers. Anyone have extra plates that they would like to part with?
