How to Oil a Singer Prelude Sewing Machine

Oiling your Singer Prelude sewing machine is an important part of keeping it in good working order. By following these simple steps, you can help ensure your machine runs smoothly for years to come.

1. Gather your materials.

- Sewing machine oil

- A clean cloth or paper towel

- A cotton swab

2. Turn off your sewing machine and unplug it.

This will help prevent any accidental injuries.

The oil port is usually located on the back or side of the machine. On the Singer Prelude, it is located on the back of the machine, near the power cord. Use a small screwdriver or your fingers to open the port.

4. Apply a few drops of oil to the oil port.

Be careful not to over-oil the machine, as this can cause damage. Just a few drops are enough.

5. Use the cotton swab to spread the oil around the mechanism.

This will help to distribute the oil evenly and ensure that all of the parts of the machine are properly lubricated.

6. Close the oil port.

Once you are finished oiling the machine, be sure to close the oil port to prevent any leaks.

7. Wipe up any excess oil.

Use the clean cloth or paper towel to wipe up any excess oil that may have dripped from the machine.

8. Plug in the machine and turn it on.

Now your machine is ready to use!
