I previously used Press n' Seal when quilting on a longarm. I no longer have a longarm and want to try fmq on my Bernina. Can I use Press n' Seal on the regular machine? Will it affect the needle or machine in any way? Thanks.

you can buy stuff that makes your needle "slicker" when sewing things like this. I would probably clean the bobbin & needle area with some alcohol after so many intervals of time.
use a Q-tip, gently. I know Bernina carries it, but can' for the life of me think of the name of it. there is also a pad (Bernina store) that you can just sew thru every so often that cleans the needle.
