I do every year, but my dealer sells service protection plans, which cut down the cost of servicing the machine and you can bring it in whenever you want as much as you want and if something breaks parts are covered like motherboards which we all know can be expensive. I damaged my bobbin case walked right in and got handed a brand new one, It was that simple.its like 3-600 dollars for 4 years depending on your machine model. I am about to renew mine because my service plan for my espire transfered over to my new machine but I only have a year left, and I know embroidery machines can be very sensitive especially the tension diskc so I really want to renew it
