That depends on how much you use your machine and how well you take care of it. If you sew 2-3 hours every day you should probably have it looked at twice a year. If you sew 5-8 hours a week, your should have it serviced once a year. You sew every so often, but only small quick projects or mending, then at least every 2 years.
Can I clean my machine with canned air? No. Canned air forces the lint and other particles up into the machine. If you must use canned air, by all means go ahead. Sewing machine technicians need more work.
What do you recommend I use to clean my machine? A lint brush, or at least a soft nylon bristle brush. A vacuum with a micro attachment set, like for PC’s, is good to have.
