Can you use sewing machine oil?

No. The primary purpose of sewing machine or 3-in-one oil is to lubricate and protect steel surfaces from friction and oxidation. Both of these oils deteriorate rubber over time. Pellgunoil lubricates and protects steel and, at the same time, it conditions the rubber seal on a CO2 pellet gun. If you must use a substitute, make it original, red automatic transmission fluid. This is available from any auto parts store, or Walmart.

No... Do not use any oils or medications with this machine. The manufacturer advises against this.

Yes, you can use our 4x Laundry Detergent on delicate fabrics that are safe to be washed. We have tested on wool, silk, linen, chiffon, and other delicates. It will not bleed colors, nor damage the fibers. Thanks for your question. Sean @ Puracy

You should be able to with no problems. I can't imagine that the sewing machine uses more than 500w. Usually things like that only use 50-100 watts, but you'd have to look either on the plug/cord that came with the sewing machine or on the sewing machine right where the plug connects to it. It will say something like "input: 110v/___watts". As long as the watts isn't listed over 500 (which it wont be) you should be good. I looked on the Brother website for you and it just said that it required 110v electricity (which we already know). You'll be fine with this...

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

At the present time, we don't have a specific video for threading the bobbin of the SINGER model 160 sewing machine. The directions for bobbin winding are, though, well illustrated in the instruction manual. Be sure to use only SINGER Class 15J bobbins in your machine, as this is the only style of bobbin that is specified for use with this machine. Additional bobbins are also available at Amazon.

The oil is applied across the entry of the machine. Oiling keeps the machine running smoothly and I believe it keeps the shredder from making noise. Per the instruction book you can also use non-aerosol vegetable oil in a long nozzle container (which Fellowes sells).

Yes you can. You are basically sewing precut forms. The machine is just a enclosed needle that moves up and down. The felt self seals due to the material.

Yes, it is needed to buy engine oil before you can run the machine. I used 5W-30 engine oil.

Hi. It depends on the fabric you are using not the sewing machine. Maybe this can help you. http://www.singerco.com/sewing-resources/machine-needles http://www.sewitworks.com/needle-guide/fabric-needle-thread/

Some manufacturers allow the use of vegetable oil, but make sure you first read the owner's manual, because using the wrong oil will void warranties. Sewing machine oil is a dust-repelling, lightweight oil that some users recommend. Running a sheet of wax paper through the shredder also works. WD-40 lubricant is not recommended.

I've never tried it and I don't think I would. I think you would need so much in a washer so it's not diluted out that it wouldn't be worth while. Also it's an oil and likely would spot or stain clothing.

Speaking of oil, I'm wondering if I use sewing machine oil (the same thing that I use on hair clippers), will work with this shredder?

You're right, the manual says nothing about oiling this machine, and although I bought some paper shredder oil, I am not going to oil my shredder at all. If I start to have problems with it that I feel are due to a lack of oil, I will contact the manufacturer directly and ask them how to proceed.

Test it first on some crap clothes - but not in the washing machine. The Oil Eater may damage it. I tried Oil Eater on an oil stain on some outdoor carpet, and it cleaned the oil great, but took out some of the color of the carpet.

I use about one drop of oil in each oil hole about once week, more often if I am sewing a lot everyday, maybe once every three days. If you have oil showing up on your presser foot, you are probably using too much, also, too much oil and it can leak out of the buttons for cutting and up,down needle.

The 20U109 is a manually oiled machine. Unlike the SINGER 191 series which is self lubricating. The 20U109 is manual. It has small oil wicks in the needle bar area to help keep the needle bar lubed. Otherwise with light to medium use it should be oiled every 2 months in the predetermined oil marked holes in the machine.
