My Bernina dealer told me that my newish Bernina (2013) only needs service every 4-5 years unless it is used 3-4 hours every day. I should just clean and oil according to the manual. Other dealers have people thinking they need service every year, sometimes for $150-$200 a crack. I can't help thinking that that is a rip-off.

I never oil my Bernina. It goes into the shop about once every 18 months or so. I used to take it in once a year when it was my only machine. Now that I have several vintage machines as well as the Bernina, I take it in less often. I do oil the bobbin area every bobbin change as they told us to do in the guide class. My vintage machines I oil as per the manual.

I have a brother Dream Machine. I never oil it. I take it in once a year for a good cleaning. That is what my dealer recommends. I have not had any issues with it.

I've never sent my Janomes for servicing except once because I threw the
timing off. Like others said, a good cleaning and a drop of oil (once in a while) is all you need. |
I always follow my manual for things that could mess up my machine. This would be one of them. A lot of the newer machines and high end machines don't require oiling.
