cleaning presser feet
I just inherited a Bernina 830 from my husband's grandmother. It has been in storage for quite some time and there is a little curosion on some of the presser feet. Does anyone have any ideas of how to clean then without leaving a residue?
Everything else seems to be in good working order. Thanks for you ideas.

I would check with your local Bernina dealer. You could probably even get an answer via phone rather than having to go in. Good luck and let us know the outcome. I have the new (2009) Bernina 830 & I absolutely love everything about it.

When I get a "new" vintage machine, I soak all the plated parts and accessories in Evaporust for a few hours - it floats away dried oil and the feet end up looking like new. If parts actually have rust on them, I soak them until the rust is gone. It's wonderful stuff and non-toxic, non-noxious.

I feel like I would start by rubbing them with baking soda on a damp rag, just to see. Baking soda won't scratch but will take off most anything. I've never heard of the Evaporust, (even though I am still waiting to hear where I can purchase this) but it sounds great too. Just a couple cents worth of opinion....
