I agree with Jackie. You should bring it in for servicing 1 a year. I do clean and oil mine Bernina regularly but in a location I could not get to, the lint had piled up so much the machine stopped working. YIKES. My problem now is getting it in for service since I had to give up driving. Would be difficult to bring a walker and the sewing machine onto a public bus!!
