Well, took my Bernina to Singer. Was I impressed. It was opened up immediately and there was nothing wrong. They insisted I sit down and embroider a design from my machine. I feel such a fool as this same thing happened in February. The difference is that the last time I was charged by Bernina and today at Singer I was charged nothing and they gave me a new packet of needles. They did say that if it happens again they will take the machine to pieces. It is over an hours journey and I think my machine gets a little shaken but it is really not the answer. I am so very happy to have it back straight away.

Hmmm, very strange indeed. Glad it is back and working...and that it did not cost you anything buy time and travel...but strange all the same...what exactly was it doing when you thought something was wrong with it?

Maybe something was in the bobbin area and got jiggled loose during the movement of being put in the car and taken for a ride.
Nice to know you have found someone to fix it that you feel comfortable with.

I am sure our machines just like a ride in a car from time to time. I used to see this happen when I worked in a Sewing Store years ago. Hugs

Shirley, I have heard of babies liking rides in cars but never machines

I'm glad you took it in to be sure and happier that it was working fine. It sounds like you have found a good tech so stay with them. I know my machines always seem to enjoy a trip to the spa.

If it happens again, I will unplug everything and leave it for a few hours and then try again.

Enjoy your machine Sarah!

I even got a hug from the technician. He could see that I was in a bit of a state. DH had wandered off as he thought I was going to make a fool of myself. LOL

Thank you Meg. I felt a bit of a fool.
NAH! It happens all the time.
My first hubby and I had a Whitegoods repair business and one call I remembered was to a lady whose machine was just 'dead'.
Hubby had only returned it the day before after replacing the timer.
Well you can imagine she was REALLY irate and abusive until he arrived at her house and very politely turned the power switch on the wall to "ON".
What is the colour of embarrassment???
Beetroot red with green gills. 😂😂😂

I'm happy you have it home again with you Sarah & glad that it is nothing serious. I had some trouble like this quite some time ago with my 10,000 I would embroider something & my machine would stop & not start again? I would have to stop shut it down & start again & this was back when I had to see what stitch number I was on & try to go back to that same number if I was lucky enough to notice before it froze on my. every time I took it in there was nothing wrong. However my guy @ the time came to my house & watched this happen & we found out that there was a short in my surge protector & that's why it kept stopping on me. We don't often realize that this is a part of our daily stitching & they have to be updated too. I hope that it is something as simple as this for yours. ~hugs~

Thank you Loralye. I actually think it was me trying to stitch through too many thicknesses. If it happens again, rather than rush to the technician I must just turn it off and try again later.
