My Bernina dealer told me that my newish Bernina (2013) only needs service every 4-5 years unless it is used 3-4 hours every day. I should just clean and oil according to the manual. Other dealers have people thinking they need service every year, sometimes for $150-$200 a crack. I can't help thinking that that is a rip-off.

Now that I have several vintage machines as well as the Bernina, I take it in less often. I do oil the bobbin area every bobbin change as they told us to do in the guide class. My vintage machines I oil as per the manual.
