My sewing machine started squeaking a few days ago. I took the bobbin race all apart and cleaned everything out, went to put a drop of oil and.... I'm out. :( Shall have to order some.
After more poking around, I found the sound is not coming from there, but up in the workings, near the pressure dial. Seems to be the metal thingmy that makes the needle go up and down.
Now, I've had this machine since 2002 and while I've oiled down in the bobbin area, I've never oiled this place. Was I supposed to? Won't it drip onto the fabric?
Please advise. Feeling a little silly here in Dundee....
