I need to oil my sewing machine - but where?

[Ayala Levinger]

I have the C10 of Husqvarna and I looked in the manual where should I put the drupples oil but I can't find it.
Does anyone know?

Thank you

Ayala, It's not in the manual because they do not recommend that it be oiled. I have 2 different computerized models but was told by two sales people not to oil either of them. Maureen

oh, never?
The thing is yesterday while sewing it started to make noise and move really slowly so I stopped immediately.
I use this machine a year now and I use it 5 hours a week. I clean it frequently but never oiled it yet.

Yes, never!
Not just Husquvana, but all of them.
There are a lot of reasons for noise, including slightly imperfect bobbins, blunt needles, build up of fluff and lint, thread tangles particularly around the bobbin area, and if a general clean, change of needle and bobbin don't fix it, time to take it to be serviced.
It is a good policy to get a machine serviced every twelve months so that the timing and tension are checked and everything cleaned by a professional. It is rare that anything actually breaks in a sewing machine, other that the needle, but things which should be synchronised sometimes get out of whack.

Thank you very much for your answer. It helped a lot.

Thank you everyone but apparently it was serious than just noise. the machine doesn't work anymore. I can't even turn the hand wheel anymore.. so now I am sewing-machine-less. They are picking her up on Saturday for repair.
I am sad!

Ayala,
I am sad for you too.
I haven't turned my machine on for a few weeks, but at least it is there if and when I want it. I would hate to be without it again. I had one make awful noises and it was away from home for weeks, not because it took long to fix it, but because they just couldn't be bothered getting it back to the courier! Will never send a machine there to be fixed again, but haven't had a big problem like that was since then either.
Hope the problem isn't too serious.

Luckily the shop where I bought the machine and does the services too is very trusty and also the previous time when I send the machine to them for a little problem it got back after 2 days! So I am hoping this time will also be fast.
In the meanwhile I am doing some needle felting and hand stitching:-) It is also fun.
