I think all mechanical equipment needs regular use. I've been sewing since I was 14 & it's always been recommended that the sewing machine get used regularly and to occasionally take the machine to high speeds if you've got a nice long straight seam to stitch up. Don't cars need an occasional run on the highway if the car doesn't get a lot of highway driving?
If you haven't sewn lately, taking that machine up to high speed usually means you're gonna' have a long crooked seam to rip out and redo.
If you have a car that only gets used for short, short trips, it is a good idea to get it out on the highway once in a while just to get it up to a high enough operating temperature to boil the condensed water vapor out of the oil ... but it only seems to work if you can hit a stretch of open road, roll the windows down, turn the radio up and blow the cobwebs out at the same time.
