How often should I oil my Bernina 485?

You should oil the machine when it prompts you, or at least before sewing for a long time. You can also oil it once a day when working on big projects. Bernina recommends using the original oil that comes with the machine, as other oils can damage it.

How should I wind the bobbin while sewing?

To avoid the upper and lower threads getting tangled, swing out the carousel while winding the bobbin.

How should I clean my Bernina 485?

You should clean and oil your machine regularly, especially after embroidering or sewing for long periods at high speed. You can find videos on cleaning and oiling your machine on the Bernina website.

How often should I have my Bernina serviced?

Bernina recommends having your machine serviced at least once a year to ensure it stays in good condition.

What is the warranty on a Bernina sewing machine?

The factory warranty on a new Bernina sewing machine covers defective parts for 20 years from the date of purchase. The selling dealer also provides a one-year labor and service warranty.
