Mary also quilts with a featherweight. Quilters do seem to love that
machine. Fitch has two of 'em.

Dr. Willy, the itinerant pretty-good sewingmachine repair and tuneup
guy, uses Tri-Flo -- in a little squeezebottle with a very finebore
tube rather than the spraycan. He does seem to know what he's doing,
surely knows far more than I do about sewing machines. He visits a
nearby fabric shop every other Thursday on his route. Other than
routine cleaning and lubrication, we entrust the care and tuning of
Mary's featherweights and 301's to Dr. Willy.

I use the 5wt ATF in a glass hypodermic syringe to lube
those machines. It's a great way to get that 'just one
drop' that's required in some spots. Plastic syringes
degrade and the plungers lock up on them after a while
being exposed to ATF though.
