Great demo, thanks heaps!
@joyann6792 Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for this video & stocking the oil. I have a lot of thread that I purchased from someone retiring from embroidery, so I had no idea how old the thread was or how it had been stored. Many of them would not work at all, so I put the oil on them and amazingly they all work perfectly now.
@grace-embroidery40222 That is awesome - it does really help rejuvenate the threads! Thank you for your great feedback!
I have been telling people this fr years, now we have it officially.
@phillipagawne7421 Its amazing the difference it makes to help rejuvenate the threads!
I got some from Townsville echidna agent. Haven't tried I will now. Thanks for demo
@cynthiapridham2885 Thank you for watching, it will definitely come in handy! ;)
Is that something found in craft stores near me?
@abr6480 We do sell the Oil in bottles which can be shipped to you if in Australia. It is a food grade Silicon Oil.
Gary I've been "oiling" my prewound bobbins for some years... so they are mainly cotton bobbins... would you recommend the Helmar Silicon Oil for the cotton thread? I do the oiling the night before I will be using the bobbins. Also, if one oils a spool of thread such as you have done on the video, but then only use the thread for a few items then put it away... would you oil again before using it again if say a few months had gone by? Thanks, Helen.
@1994henny The threads should be oiled as required. If you are finding you are not having any issues with it then you do not need to spray them. Cotton thread can be sprayed as required, but again, you don't need to spray everytime you use them. Just as required.
How often would you use this on cottons? I keep my cotton in a plastic box out of the sun, would that be better for them?
@jeancoulter2194 Dust and sunlight are the enemies of thread in general. Best to keep them stored as you have mentioned to help give longevity. Use of the silicon spray is as needed.
Hi. Can the silicone oil be used on thread used in an ordinary sewing machine or is it just for embroidery thread? Thanks, Val
@valg7453 You can use it on ordinary sewing thread if it is a polyester based thread.
Could you use the silicone oil on overlocking thread
@fayechick441 It is not recommended on Overlockers unless it is an industrial machine. What issues are you having with your thread?
@@EchidnaClub hi thanks for the advice, I have been given a number of spools of thread unsure how old they are and saw your article. I don’t have an overlocker so giving them to someone who does. Again thank you for reply. Faye
