    I just had my Grace Qnique installed in my house as a stand-up long arm. The installer instructed me to oil the bobbin with every bobbin change and to put the drops in the top once a month. The once a month is reasonable but with every change of the bobbin seems excessive.

    That may actually be good advice because the bobbins are so huge. I know vibration can be an issue with these machines when they aren't oiled enough so if you notice issues like that with the machine that might be a sign it does need to be oiled more often.
