Oh woe is me. My embroidery machine decided it had had enough yesterday. The message read 'thread caught, bent needle'. I took bobbin and it's casing out and there was nothing caught. New needle inserted but made no difference. It runs for about two stitches and then just jams. Off to Bernina on Tuesday. Quite far but I have to have my machine. 😩

UPDATE.
Phoned Bernina this morning, only to be told that they are not operating any where near me any more.
DH and I are driving to a Singer shop tomorrow. They tell me they will fix my Bernina and it will take two weeks. Very nervous about leaving my machine with people I do not know. Fingers crossed.

I feel for you - it is sooooo frustrating when you want to sew and the machine does not cooperate. Hope it gets well soon.

So sad for you. It seems when we need them most stuff happens.

I wish I could send my repairman to you. He is excellent with Bernina machines! I do hope the Singer shop does a good job for you and that you get it back soon.
Hugs and best wishes!
