    I don't think that's what Sewer's Aid is for. It's intended to lubricate the thread and reduce friction, not to keep the needle clean.

    You need to be careful with Sewer's Aid. Apparently you shouldn't use it with a Bernina. I don't know what kind of trouble it may cause, but I have hear this caution from several reputable sources.

    I don't know anything about OESD's Fuse and Fix. What is it?

      Fuse & Fix is a double sided fusible stabilizer used by the Bernina educators with the Cutwork tool when cutting out applique shapes by the millions (well, 10 layers of fabric at a time). This stabilizer is ironed to one side, the shapes cut, the backing peeled off, and then pressed by just finger pressure, to the backing for stitching. I have limited experience with it right now, but as soon as my machine is back from it's annual check-up, plans are in place!!!!

      As far as the Sewers Aid goes, if it is just used on the needle, I can't visualize how it would do any harm to a machine, since there is no contact. I understand the controversy using it on thread.
