That is good to know King's Daughter. The one thing I do is to put a drop of machine oil in the middle of the bobbin case every so often and occasionally wipe off the presser bar with an oiled swab. I have made three corduroy squares quilts in the past year and am planning another one. The cord quilts create a lot of lint and I just wanted to make sure my machine was cleaned out before I started another.
