Most sewing machine problems look much scarier than they actually are. A lot of the time, the solution is something simple like re-threading, swapping the needle, cleaning out a bit of lint, or in the case of many Bernina owners, just flicking the bobbin winder switch back to where it should be. These machines are clever, but little things can throw them off now and then. With a bit of know-how and a calm approach, you can usually get everything running smoothly again in minutes. And if something still doesn’t feel quite right, we’re always here to help. Happy sewing!
