Finished a quilt and got ready to
load a new one when I couldn’t get the screw that holds the needle to fit
again. Saw that some thread – initially
thinking from the screw - came off but luckily had a spare screw. This however did not work either. Local Bernina dealer came over and it turned
out to be thread of the needle bar going into the machine itself, so now a new
one has to be ordered. From what I understand
one is not supposed to tighten the needle too much which I must have done
thinking I am really securing the little thing.
Not sure how long this would take but I felt somewhat lost. Bernina dealer came over again to
re-thread (not in those we use for stitching or quilting but thread groove in
metal) the shaft and try a bigger screw.
This however will just be a temporary solution and hopefully I won’t
have to wait too long for a replacement part.
New thread made in the metal and
replacement screw inserted and I can quilt.
One of these days our local Bernina dealer will be able to build me a
new machine with all the improvisations he has had to make. I really don’t care as long as I can quilt and I must say I am super impressed with the service I get from our local Bernina dealer.
Finally I could load a customer quilt
again.
