Oh-Oh!! Sewing machine is squeaking - what do I do - will it suddenly die?

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Am sewing up my lion at the moment. My sewing machine has suddenly gone squeaky from round undernearth the needle area - does this mean its about to blow up? How do I stop it? Help!!!

Oil it

Panic over!!!!
I forgot to cut the dangly bit off my underneath cotton spool thingy.
Not exactly an expert with sewing machines

but should I oil it anyway? is 3in1 ok?

and which bit do I oil? - might have to try and find the manual somewhere I suppose!

lol just noticed how apt it is that squeakypop replied to my squeaky sewing machine question

right back to it!

Sewing machines usually come with a little vial of oil - look in your accessories box. Failing that, get the right stuff from the haberdashers.

thanks I think a trip out is needed.
