Just as a car needs to be serviced and maintained regularly before problems arise, your BERNINA is a finely-built machine that requires regular preventative maintenance and attention.

We recommend bringing your BERNINA sewing machine in at least once a year. If you are an avid sewer, we recommend servicing your machine more often, depending on usage.

A number of service calls for sewing and embroidery machines are strictly due to worn out needles. BERNINA recommends that you change your needle after every 4 – 6 hours of stitching.

Here at A Nimble Thimble, we do not recommend titanium needles, although BERNINA may disagree. They do not snap off and can cause a lot of damage in your hook area or needle bar (Katie’s opinion).
