Great info. I wouldn't feel nearly as confident oiling, cleaning, and even sewing with my Bernina 570 without your videos. Thank you!

[@ThreadPlayLLC]

WD stands for Water Displacement. Great video Jeff.

[@Str8eeth]

I sure wish you were “Brother Jeff” hahaha….I couldn’t afford a Bernina so settled for a Brother Machine. I watch all of your videos and it really does me no good because I don’t have a Bernina, but I like listening to your tips anyway! One of these days I am going to leave little ole Price, Utah and come to Grand Junction to visit your shop! Thanks so much for being so willing to share your knowledge with us!

[@maryjones3369]

Always very informative! Thank you so much❤️

[@preacherman9018]

My experience has been with most of the same brands as you. That's the advantage of not being a twenty year old anymore. 😉 Most think WD4O is best because of marketing. Then they get an oxidized varnish that messes up their fine mechanisms a year or so later. You have the best oilers from looking at them. I have a bunch of new hypodermic syringes from veterinary work that I will never use for injectables. Needles are dulled. Your experiences mirror mine on these oils. One last thing I'll add Jeff. My Dad gave me a needle lube. It seems like a dry silicone lube, but I'm not sure. It makes a huge difference when working on heavy multiple layers when the needle starts to stick on those seam overlaps. You just wipe it on or sew through the plastic bag that holds the lube on a small piece of fabric within. Surprisingly it stays on the needle for a while. I don't have the name brand in front of me but will get it if anyone is interested.

Thanks Jeff. Best on the net. A straight pin works great on the Triflow spout.

[@shannonec]

Thanks so much, love your videos! We’re in high humidity, never knew about oil in lower humidity, great to know!

[@skapur]

WD 40 (water displacement formula 40) is a good cleaner. It is basically 90% Kerosene and some additives. Not a lubricant.

[@yoshiew05]

Didn’t know about oil dissapating in low humidity. As I’m moving soon to a lower humidity environment, this is good to know. Thank you.

[@shammydammy2610]

Exactly. I recently moved to a high altitude area with a clearly defined, low humidity dry season.

[@donnarichards163]

Hi Jeff thank you for your videos. I love the older machines. I just bought a Bernina record 830 in pretty good condition. But didn't know the first thing about how to set it up properly and oil it. I watched your video for the Bernina 830 and it was so helpful. I like DIY- but I also want to have the proper tools for my projects. Thank you for making the information available and for selling great products.

[@gwynt909]

In South Africa WD40 is exorbitantly expensive so we use Q20 or any other penetrating oil for rusted and stiff parts. That is what I used on my rusted up Pfaff 360 (1963 vintage) that had not been used for 30 years. It now works almost as well as my 1970 vintage bernina 730 record.

[@roxanngibbs7522]

Thank you so much!

[@susanc.8009]

I was hoping you’d review Super Lube.

[@5599robert]

ENJOY YOUR POSTS. WD40 STANDS FOR WATER DISPLACEMENT, 40 IS THE 40TH ATTEMPT AT ACHIEVING THAT PRODUCT.

[@jimjackson4256]

I like when you motioned to your head when talking about hairspray.

[@SewFun]

Great information! Water Displacement 40th formula for WD 40.

[@jarikinnunen1718]

The PTFE dry lubricant sounds good for metals and plastics.

[@bhobbs3284]

WD-40. Water Dissipating, 40th formula. The previous 39 tries didn't work so well.

[@WindyMD]

I love your videos!!! I download all of them. I have an 880. Why don't you ever cover the 8 series?

[@Peppermint1]

Tri-Flow contains 30% alcohol mixed with oil plus additives to keep these two contrarian products together. It's a compromise meant to clean a little old varnish and still lubricate a little - to be used for the first hours of operation of a vintage machine that doesn't turn easily and smoothly at the handwheel. Then be sure to use proper sewing machine oil which does not contain alcohol. WD40 is not a lubricant and smells badly and cannot be removed once applied.

[@rachelberryhill5413]

What oil do you recommend to penetrate stuck screws that hold down needle plates (like for the Singer Featherweight)?

[@nancystockman9719]

which one (red or yellow) for my Bernina serger? I'm guessing yellow for my Pfaff Hobby Grand?

[@markwatson1005]

What oil would be good for the vintage 'oilers' or small oil cans from the 40s and 50S? thanks in advance.

[@thedude6617]

Hi Jeff, what about the old vintage bernina machines? I have a 117L a couple of old 830 records and such.

[@berninajeff]

I have a video on the old 830

[@rebeccaherrin3305]

What would be good to use on a 1913 white rotary treadle sewing machine?

[@EmperorSnyder]

What about Lucas Gun Oil in a small green bottle with metal spout?

[@donnarichey144]

Someone said to use fishing reel oil. Is that ok to use?

[@sozumbacrazed]

How/where can I buy one of those oil droppers

[@montanakath7987]

Is there a way to replace the pad in the Bernina hook for my 770? I was cleaning it one day and mistook it for a blob of lint. I realized my mistake immediately but alas too late.

[@berninajeff]

I sell new hooks, I have not tried to put one back in.

[@Turtlesews]

What goes in a bernina 780 reservoir under needle plate

[@cherylthompson4250]

What are your thoughts about using Sewer’s Aid by Dritz , as an oil on a sewing machine?

[@jacquiesharrer9954]

I think that type of oil is to be used on a spool of thread

[@evelynostrander3516]

I've been given a Bernina 217-08. What oil should I use for this machine? Also I only have one bobbin. What kind/ size do I need? Thank you.

[@warped2875]

The 217N-08 official manual states to use these two oils: For the oiling points with red markers, Mobil DTE Heavy Medium, (ISO viscosity grade 68, SAE viscosity grade 20) For the bobbin shuttle, Mobil Velocite 10, (ISO viscosity grade 22, SAE viscosity grade 5W)

[@bogdanfilip8744]

Hello ! I ask if Mobil velocite Nr. 10 can be used for a vintage Singer 201 sewing machine. Thank you, Filip.

[@berninajeff]

Yes, of course on metal parts

[@jamieleupold4595]

Do you ever do live videos where people can ask questions?

[@berninajeff]

Great idea maybe someday

[@wideopenzxi]

Hello love your video's, but I need to know I have a Bernina 1000 special, what type of oil for this machine for the bobbin?

[@berninajeff]

Yellow cap oil

[@wideopenzxi]

@@berninajeff Thank you

[@TGBTGAlways]

Hi Jeff I need oil for my Janome HD9 machine. Janome recommends MO-70 sewing machine oil only it hard to find in the US and if I order from Janome their ship & handling is $20 for a $7 bottle of the oil. What do you recommend in place of the MO-70 oil? The machine stitches 1600 stitches and is really fast. I appreciate your expertise in the matter. I tried emailing you but your email must have changed. Thank you in advance! 🥰

[@berninajeff]

[e-mail] My yellow cap oil was the same specs as MO-70 high speed spindle oil I recommend it.

[@brendawry6632]

How do i order oil?

[@berninajeff]

BERNINA.Jeff-myshopify.Com order site

[@tricogustrico]

I disagree with a lot you say in this video. Pure mineral oil such as zoom spout is what works. For best results read your sewing machine manual, clean and lubricate as indicated in the manual and use a fresh needle. It is not rocket science.

[@berninajeff]

BERNINA recommends Velocite I used to use zoom but in my dry climate it dissipated mush faster

[@jimsmith5450]

Thats what I use high grade synthetic mineral oil made by Liberty oil products . I have been using it for 10-months my Bernina 830 is so quiet and smooth running it is unreal..Mineral oils are produced from refined hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil by distillation. They are applied as hydrodynamic lubricants and as carriers of additives promoting boundary or solid-film lubrication.

[@pensandbrushes3855]

@@jimsmith5450 what specific oil did you use for your Bernina 830? what's the name?
