When I took my machine in for a sewing lesson she used a spray can of air to clean inside my machine. I may have to invest in one of those cans.
I was told that machines with a drop in bobbin never need to be oiled. Doesn't seem right to me but the book that came with it doesn't say anything about oil in the maintenance section.
Depends on your machine. My Vikings do not require oiling. I try to clean mine after every project or more often if the fabric is linty like flannel. I hate to take mine in for a bi-yearly cleaning as I don't like to be without my baby for a week.
