| Instructions on oiling Singer Featherweight |
Today instead of leaving the house to fight crowds on Boxing Day I stayed home with Mike and started the chenille blanket for baby. I've been wanting to make it since I finished the blue butterfly chenille blanket for Grace and now that I'm done reupholstering the nursing chair I have time for a new project!
However after about two or three hours of constant sewing I really started to notice how the Singer was rattling. I knew that it was in desperate need of oiling but it's not something I enjoy doing since it involves a taking apart sections of the machine and trying to squeeze oil or grease into various tight spaces. Fortunately Mike offered to oil it for me so I happily hovered around and snapped photos.

The whole process took about 30 minutes and involved touching up over twenty spots on the machine and it really made a difference. It hummed much more smoothly once Mike was finished with it and now I can carry on with my sewing marathon without the guilty conscience!
