Q: What should I buy with my Blue Sky embroidery machine?

A: There are a few items I suggest to purchase with your Blue Sky embroidery machine.
1. The first is crocus cord, this is one of those tools that Everyone should have in their toolbox, regardless of brand or size machine. This little item can save you hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of your machine and will probably last as long as well. This is a cord of very fine sandpaper that can go into a hole in the needle throat plate and buff out any light burs or scratches that could cause the thread to shred. Also works well for pressure feet. We sell this item and it can be easily added with your machine.
2. Second, sandpaper, 800 to 900 grit. This is something many might have but if you don't, add it to your machine order or pick some up at the hardware store.  The sandpaper will be  used for the rotary hook, in case a design or material deflects the needle into the side of the rotary hook.
3. I, always, suggest the oil bottle with the brass spout. Doug, as a repair technician, used this exact brand of bottle in his daily repairs (oiling every single machine he repaired) and the bottle lasted him up to 3 years. No other bottle we ever tried stood up to the wear and tear this bottle does. In normal hands, could easily last far longer. The oil bottle comes with oil in it as well as one refill oil bottle.
4. Next is having the right Grease on hand. This is important, do not use spray grease or Lithium based. A lot of people have tried them on bigger machines but it is hard to get it in the correct space. Having grease on hand is important and can help keep you running. We sell a great all purpose grease that can be used in our store. You can pick it up at O'Reilly's automotive store. We sell Mystik multi-purpose grease.
5 & 6. If you don't have a tension gauge for top thread or for bobbin, they are really both worth having. They can help a lot. You can help set your tensions easily with the gauges and get your embroidery back to perfection easily. The top tension gauge helps with the top tensions, everything above the needles. The bobbin tension is for below and tests your bobbin tension. Ensuring your tensions are on point.
7. You can never go wrong purchasing a few extra bobbin cases, the average lifespan of the best Towa brands are anywhere from 6 months to a year (cheaper brands around 2 to 4 months). One bad drop can sometimes lead to a wobbly, no longer perfectly round bobbin case, which can cause issues.
All of these will help you continue on in your embroidery and help save down time. You can add anything within our online store with your machine sale and you won't have to pay for any shipping.
