SEW-RETRO Grease^TMMotor & Gear Lubricant! We have also updated our Featherweight Shop Motor & Gear Lubricant video tutorial with a "Part 2". It reflects the Sew-Retro Grease brand as well as illustrates an additional melting point comparison! As before, SEW-RETRO Grease^TM has been specially formulated with the proper melting point and lubricating qualities for vintage & antique sewing machines, including the Singer Featherweight 221 & 222K. Remember, some attachments need grease occasionally, too! SEW-RETRO Grease^TM is appropriate for any and all sewing machines with all-metal gears. (Do not use this lube with any plastic or nylon gears.)

We are often asked if SEW-RETRO Grease^TM is appropriate for other vintage Singer Sewing Machine motors -- and the answer is yes - so long as your vintage Singer motor has motor ports with a felt wick inside. If you are unsure of this, then if your manual indicates that your vintage Singer motor requires motor lubricant, then SEW-RETRO Grease^TM will be perfectly suited for your machine.

Each SEW-RETRO Grease^TM comes with an instruction sheet for application as well as a port-cleaning tool so you can clean out the motor ports of the old grease. You can also use a Q-tip or hollow cotton swab (with both cotton swab ends cut off) as a replacement port-cleaning tool.

Be sure to watch the video tutorial below for how SEW-RETRO Grease^TM low-melting point motor & gear lubricant is the only one on the market that is appropriate for vintage and antique sewing machine motors, including Singer Featherweight 221 and 222K motors.

Most all Featherweight motors* have two little holes - one for each motor port. Push a pea-size amount of SEW-RETRO Grease^TM into each port. As the motor heats up during use it will wick the SEW-RETRO Grease^TM into the motor as needed. Application twice a year is usually adequate unless you sew day-in and day-out and / or do any free-motion quilting, then you will need to lubricate your motor about once a quarter or as often as needed.

(*Most White Featherweight machines do not require motor lubricant for the motor. You will know if your White Featherweight takes motor lubricant because it will have the motor lubricant ports on the motor itself.)

Be sure to read the tutorial on how and where to lubricate your Singer Featherweight.

TAKE NOTE: DO NOT USE OIL in your Singer Motor. Your motor should only have SEW-RETRO Grease^TM and not oil.
