Sewing Machine Oil

by | Jun 4, 2007 | Q & A | 0 comments

Question from Dana

Dear Debra,

Thank you so much for providing this great website & blog!

I would like to know the toxicity of sewing machine oil. I’ve heard that jojoba oil can be used as a substitute and would like to try that on my sewing and knitting machines. However, I am a bit nervous about doing this as I don’t want to ruin my equipment.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Debra’s Answer

Regular sewing machine oil is just standard petrochemical oil. I think jojoba would be fine and won’t ruin your machine.

Readers, what do you use?
