I went to a different Bernina dealer later today and they said the same
thing. Also I have a Viking and the Dealer there told me the same. It's not
just the bobbin area it's in the top area of your machine you have to worry
about. Both my machines run Beautiful no matter what I use, but after what
I've been told now by the different dealers, why take the chance?
But that's just me. I don't want any trouble with such an expensive machine.

That sounds a bit strong to me. I doubt that it is worse than the really
cheap no-name stuff you see at JoAnn's and discount stores. But I do
find that I have more lint in the bobbin area with Dual Duty than with
Mettler's silk finish or Aurifil. Even the C&C Star thread seems to
leave less lint than the Dual Duty. I don't think it will hurt your
machine as long as you clean out the bobbin area regularly, but you will
have to do it more often than with some other threads. Aurifil is not as
expensive as it might seem, because there is so much on a spool.

Some machines seem to be really picky about the threads you use in them.
I have never had any problem with any threads in any of my Elnas, buy my
mom's Bernina was fussy; I even had problems with the Bernina when I
used different thread on top than in the bobbin. Use whatever works for
you.
