Lube a Thread

Lube-A-Thread (LAT) KIT was developed in 1995 to prevent problems with thread shredding, breaking, lint build-up and to prolong the life of the needle. The Lube A Thread Kit (LAT) is composed of a Lube A Thread Applicator, a Lube It All 2 oz. bottle and instructions.

The LAT Applicator has self-adhesive to stick it on the machine anywhere in the normal thread path where it applies a very thin film of silicone lubricant on the thread. It is formulated to prevent gumming of the needle, thread shredding, mettallic thread dragging, to reduce thread stretch, prolong the life of the needle, reduce lint build-up in the machine, etc.

A two Ounce dispenser bottle of lubricant is included and is called LUBE IT ALL. After mounting the Applicator on the machine, Squeeze 2 drops on the LAT Applicator, which will last 2 to 3 hours of continuous sewing. After the first drops of lubricant are gone, apply 1 drop to continue sewing for another 2 to 3 hours of continuous use.

Additional Bottles of Lubricant or individual applicators are available separately.

Important:

The kit includes a 1/2"applicator and a 2 oz. bottle of lubricant. Where you should place the applicator depends on the brand and model of machine to be used on. On most machines, it can be stuck anywhere in the normal thread-path. But on "top-of-the-line" Brother, Baby Lock, and Singer machines, it is required that the applicator be placed after the tension assembly and just before the needle. This is because, these machines have an internal pre-tensioner that is a rubber feed wheel and must be kept free of lubricants if it is to work properly.

The APPLICATOR should be placed straight in the thread path so the thread slides through it without resistance. After pressing it onto the machine, in a clean dry area, apply two drops of the Lubricant and the repeat one drop about every one to two hours, depending on the absorption of the thread.
