It would not be necessary to lube all needles if only using the 1 needle mentioned.... I tell all of the people I train to not use the "timers" as the gospel. I do tell them to consider, before a production run, to determine how many colors are in the design, which needles are going to be used and to then lube these needle bars, rollers and put a few extra drops of oil in the reciprocator slot and to oil the rotary hook....then go to town....you stay way ahead of the lube game this way and will have far less frustration because of the lack of lubrication on those critical areas of the machine.....
