Maintaining your BERNINA 7 Series sewing machine ensures it performs beautifully for years to come. Here’s a quick guide to proper care:

1. **Regular Cleaning**: After each bobbin change, remove lint and stray threads with a soft brush. Avoid compressed air as it may push debris further in.

2. **Oiling**: Place a single drop of BERNINA oil on the hook race groove and the two felt pads inside the hook for smoother stitching.

3. **Needle Replacement**: Swap needles every project or after about 8-10 hours of sewing. Fresh needles prevent fabric snags and improve stitch quality.

4. **Annual Professional Check-Up**: Schedule a yearly maintenance session with a certified BERNINA technician for a thorough cleaning, diagnostics, and updates.

5. **Cover and Protect**: When not in use, cover your machine to shield it from dust and sunlight, keeping it in top condition.

With these steps, your BERNINA 7 Series will remain ready for all your creative projects!
