How often to oil my Bernina sewing machine the best oil to use

[@galejohnson8086]

We started out in 1960s with a bernina 730. I have had a bernina 1260 for years and years. Runs smoothly

I have said to my tech, "Bernina Jeff says this... what do you think?" He knows I'm discussing, and not accusing, and he's never defensive. It has led to very fun conversations about how we approach oiling, inserting hooks, thread stands, etc. It's true we all have different ways of looking at things, and your videos are always great about describing the WHY in addition to the HOW. My tech is very similar, so it is fun and informational to talk through these topics. Thank you for always being so honest and thorough.

@@Kyle_TheQuiltingBees you have a good tech find out his birthday and bring him some cookies or candy.

Jeff, remember us 880 and 830 owners. I love my machines and want to keep them purring as long as possible.

[@harrietbushnell8698]

I’m in the Bernina 830 club too 🎉🥳

[@hughlindsay540]

So am I. Awesome machine. Proper work house.

[@berninajeff]

@@leonanowland3017 The 8 series is a good machine, keep it clean and oiled. Not a lot a consumer can fix on it.

Don’t know what I would do without you Jeff, you have saved me at midnight so many times. Thank you

[@cynthiamacdougallknittoget343]

Oh, that tip for putting the hook back in is different! Thanks!

[@BethNeutze]

I really appreciate your videos because there isn't a Bernina dealer anywhere close to me anymore.

[@published1789]

Just wanted to say a quick thank you -- I get so much good out of your "public service announcement" style videos and enjoy the ingenuity of many of your other product videos.

[@berninajeff]

@@published1789 thanks

I have purchased the oiler and some other products from you within the last few months , it has been a game changer for DIY maintenance. Thank you for these videos and other tips and tricks, I have learned much from you and regularly consult your channel when I need to know something specific.

[@melindasawyer7948]

Love your oil bottle and the screw-key-do

[@barbaralazier8352]

I love these oilers and have one for each of my machines and my Longarm

[@colleenkins5935]

Thanks for all your information. You have saved me many trips to the shop

[@elizabethk8938]

My Pro is very thirsty and I even oil as I’m working on a project. It starts rattling soon after starting to sew.

[@berninajeff]

The hook area needs adjusted. I have seen this in a couple machines. Once the guideway is adjusted the hook will stay quiet for hours. I takes a tech that knows what they are doing not a hard adjustment just fussy. There are videos only for techs on this procedure.

[@marylourimmasch4301]

I have this problem with my 570 qe. I was told the machine just needed more oil than most. I like Jeff's info better. I oil it every bobbin change. It has used more oil in the past year than all of my other sewing machines combined over the past 45 years

[@nannayaya37]

Do you have a video for oiling the 880?

[@maryrose6302]

So sorry you got in trouble with Bernina. I’m lucky that my dealer is just down the road. Her tech is so good, lots of people use him, it takes over 2 weeks for him to get your machine done. The good news and the bad. Love your videos.

[@vickyreynolds1109]

This shop is awesome.they helped me with a part .i live in another state.good people

[@loridavison6672]

Hi Jeff, thank you. Appreciate you

[@jeane.2722]

Thank you Jeff, I always learn from your videos.

[@berninajeff]

You’re welcome!

[@janetezancanaro8391]

Excellent video 🇧🇷

[@berninajeff]

Thanks! 😃

[@randijarrett1755]

Thank you!🦩❤️

[@berninajeff]

Any time!

[@QuiltyJill]

Are there any other Bernina machines that use the same oil as the new b08?

[@cathj8568]

Great review- thx

[@berninajeff]

Glad you liked it.

[@martyfrolli3780]

Jeff, can you please tell me which oil to use on my Featherweight - yellow or red? Also, Handi Quilter long arm. Do you know what oil they provide in the HQ applicator?

[@deidrapowell8762]

L890 oil? I read it’s different than sewing machine?

[@lynneabretz6081]

My husband just got me a 790Pro and I love it. I have an honest question tho. Why are sewing machine tech's so stingy with their information? This is not meant to be rude, but is there some sort of union that dictates what can and can't be shared with the general public? Is it the machine companies themselves that stop the flow of information? I ask because we live so far from any dealers/techs of any sort. So out here if a car or a heater or a (fill in the blank) needs fixing we can't and don't rush to a service person. We get online or talk to a "neighbor" and figure most things out ourselves. Even if they put this information behind a pay wall it would be better than spending hours in the car, then the time spent waiting for them to fix it(I've waited almost 2mo before). Who made you take down a video that was helping people?

[@berninajeff]

@@lynneabretz6081 The big issue is warranty liability. If a non-trained person gets inside a machine and damages a $1200 computer board Bernina does not want to have to pay for that. It is privileged information, dealers are not allowed to give out service manuals or other info.

[@harrietbushnell8698]

Yikes my machine is super over due an oil 😅

[@berninajeff]
