What does sewing machine oil do?

Answer by  Petalmaker1 (263)

Sewing machine oil is very necessary, which is why it is usually included in the kit that comes with a new sewing machine. Use it sparingly to keep all the sewing machine's parts oiled. The oil ensures the smooth running of the machine and also avoids rusting of the components.

It is necessary only if your specific machine needs it. To know for sure check the owners manual. The oil keeps the machine lubricated and running smoothly.
