It is possible it will be a little sluggish at first, depending how much oil on the machine, the type oil and how cold it is in your garage. I don't think it will cause any problems as long as it will sew. It will loosen up fairly quickly once you start sewing. Give it a try. If it really doesn't want to sew, motor won't turn then too cold,may overheat the motor, or strip a gear,
