A very small number of Gammill machines produced in the 1990s require you to perform the Oil Stitcher Routine on a regular basis to evenly distribute oil throughout the machine. The vast majority of Gammill machines do not need to use this Oil Stitcher routine because the machine naturally distributes the oil through regular oiling and quilting.  If you do have a machine that requires the specific Oil Stitcher routine, it can be found under the Service Commands menu. Click Oil Stitcher and then follow the prompts on the screen to run the routine.
