My other machines all have vertical bobbins and are a little less finicky than the drop in bobbin. My main quilter, the PQ1500s gets a quick brush out when I change the bobbin if I think about it, or if I notice lint build up. I pull the needle plate twice a month and clean that area when I oil the machine. Same with the VX560 and the Featherweight.

Are you saying you only oil about every two weeks. I know I'm oiling too much (every 2nd. bobbin). The oil is coming out the bottom. I used to oil as per my manual (2-3 drops per port), now I'm using one drop & it's still leaking out the bottom.
