Thread: Bernina Sewing Machines

Hi Guys,

Last August I bought an Aurora 630. Unlike my other machines I apparently need to oil the Bernina.... can somebody tell me how often I should do it?

Check your manual. It should give you instructions not only on how often, but where exactly you should oil it. It probably varies by machine. I have an Aurora 440 EQ and the machine actually tells me when to add oil.

Thanks guys,

I have read the manual and it stated that it needs oiling every 180,000 stitches and that a little sign will come up when it reaches that point..... but I read on the internet people saying that they oil with every bobbin change.... So I thought I would ask you all ..... then maybe find a happy medium!

180,000 stitches seems a lot to me!

I try to oil my Berninas every 2 bobbins or so, at least after every large project. The parts are actually metal therefore they need to be oiled. Many other machines have plastic parts that don't need to be oiled. I have a Pfaff Creative Vision that doesn't require oiling, which I thought was odd since I was "raised" on Bernina.
