I have a Viking machine and the shop I bought it from quoted $89 for a "tune up" and cleaning. I understand that it will take a bit of time, but I'm wondering how many $89 tune-ups I should have on a $500 machine?

I clean the bobbin area about once a week with a paint brush and pipe cleaners. If I see lint in other areas, I take apart all I can and clean out the lint.

Does anybody actually remove screws from the housing and really get into the works of their machine? I'm wondering if I can do this and save myself big $$$.

What do you think??
