2. Oiling: It is necessary to oil and lubricate the machine periodically. If the machine is used every day, oil it once a week. If you use it infrequently, then oiling once a month is sufficient. To oil thoroughly remove the upper thread, needle plate, slide plate, face plate, bobbin case, needle and presser foot. Read the instructions manual for location of parts that need application of oil.

Pull through and insert the needle again below the stitch at the centre and bring it through in position for the next stitch. This stitch may be worked in single or in horizontal rows or vertically in two rows.
