125ml Sewing Machine Oil for Upholstery & Industrial Sewing Machines

This 125ml Sewing Machine Oil is a fine lubricating oil for suitable moving parts and metal-to-metal contact points on compatible domestic and industrial sewing machines.

Used sparingly at the lubrication points specified by the machine manufacturer, sewing machine oil helps reduce friction, maintain smooth mechanical movement and support reliable operation.

It is a useful workroom essential for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, cushion makers, automotive trimmers and other businesses using sewing machines regularly.

Fine Oil for Sewing Machine Maintenance

Sewing machines contain fast-moving mechanical components that may require periodic lubrication.

A small amount of suitable oil can help:

• Reduce friction between moving metal parts
• Maintain smooth mechanical movement
• Quiet dry moving joints
• Support routine sewing machine maintenance
• Reduce unnecessary wear at specified lubrication points

Always follow the sewing-machine manufacturer's instructions, as lubrication requirements vary between machines.

Some modern machines require little or no user-applied oil.

Apply Sparingly

Only a small amount of sewing machine oil is normally required.

Before oiling, remove accessible lint, loose thread and fabric fibres from the machine in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Apply a drop or two only where required and wipe away any visible excess.

Too much oil can migrate towards the thread, bobbin or sewing area and may mark the material being worked on.

After lubrication, test the machine on waste fabric before returning to finished upholstery work.

Keep Oil Away from Upholstery Fabric

Sewing-machine oil can permanently mark some fabrics and other upholstery coverings.

After servicing the machine:

• Wipe away excess lubricant
• Run the machine briefly if recommended
• Sew several test seams on scrap material
• Check both sides for oil transfer
• Confirm the thread and needle area are clean

Only begin work on finished material once the test stitching is free from oil.

For upholstery coverings,

Use Alongside Professional Upholstery Threads

A clean, correctly maintained sewing machine works alongside the appropriate needle, thread, tension settings and material to produce dependable upholstery seams.

For furniture and upholstery construction, Somabond 40's Bonded Nylon Sewing Thread provides a strong bonded nylon thread suitable for many demanding machine-sewing applications.

For an alternative thread construction, M36 PolyCotton Corespun Sewing Thread combines a strong polyester core with a cotton outer covering.

For overlocking and lighter sewing applications, see Spun Polyester 120's Thread.

The correct thread should always be selected according to the sewing machine, needle, material and seam construction.

Pre-Wound Barbobs for Production Sewing

Status Fabrics' Sewing Threads & Barbobs range also includes pre-wound Type G and Type L bobbins for compatible industrial sewing machines.

Pre-wound Barbobs can help reduce time spent winding bobbins during regular production sewing.

Type G and Type L bobbins are different sizes and are not interchangeable, so always check the machine specification or original bobbin before ordering.

Threads for Piping, Cushions & Upholstery Covers

Upholstery sewing often involves several layers of material, particularly when producing piped cushions, borders and zip panels.

Browse Piping Cords for upholstery piping products used around cushions and furniture edges.

For removable cushion covers and other zipped upholstery work, Status Fabrics' Zipping range includes zip chain, sliders and associated components.

Where machine sewing forms part of a larger upholstery project, the correct combination of thread, needle, machine setup and material is just as important as regular machine maintenance.

Machine Thread & Traditional Upholstery Twine

Machine-sewing threads and traditional upholstery twines perform different jobs.

For bonded nylon, corespun, polyester, monofilament and pre-wound bobbins, browse Sewing Threads & Barbobs.

For hand upholstery, spring work, buttoning and traditional stitching, explore Upholstery Twines.

Hand-sewing and buttoning equipment can also be found in Needles, Pins & Skewers.

Regular lubrication can help reduce friction, support smoother machine operation and quieten dry mechanical joints. Apply sparingly to the lubrication points specified by the sewing-machine manufacturer.

Use it for upholstery workrooms using Sewing Threads & Barbobs including Somabond 40's Bonded Nylon Sewing Thread and M36 PolyCotton Corespun Sewing Thread.
