You should get all your bits & pieces back with your machine, but you just can't be too careful. I have my name on all my computer cords etc. as well. When I worked in a Sewing store we always wrote down all bits that came in with the machines. Best of luck with getting your machine up and running again. Hugs Shirley

This is a very good idea another good thing is to put in a note stating any problems you are having with your machine , you may have talked to the Tech. but by the time they get around to your machine they may have done twenty other machines .I take all the repairs for my son who is a Bernina Tech. who has ask for this to be done , he knows only to well he is fixing someone's most precious (possession, baby, toy, or hard saved for ) machine , and treats all with the utmost care .

I NEVER thought of this idea.
Thanks for sharing and God bless you!!

My repair place takes the machine with the needle only, you keep all your stuff, pressure foot, power cord, that way they do not have to keep tracl of it all. I love the samples and notes idea, I think it would help so I do not have to take it right back again!

what was wrong with it Lor. or is it just a cleaning ÉÉ ( ah no french again)ÉÉÉ

Oh, Lor...sorry you had to send in the "baby"...hope it's back home soon...keep us posted...

I might have to rethink buying the Glow In The Dark thread to embroider with. Hope you can save your towel and the repairman return your machine fixed quickly. Thanks for reminding us to label all the parts.

I've never used glow in the dark thread. Is there a conflict with the machine, or did your machine just pick that time to die?
Can I add a suggestion to the list? Send a full bobbin of YOUR bobbin thread, so when they are testing, they can see what you see when you are stitching. Good luck with the safe return of all bits and pieces!

Oh yes and one more, my machine is 110 volts in a city of both 220 and 110 so I used a magic marker and wrote on the sewing surface and a large taped tag on the electric cord..... don't want it burnt out!!!

Great idea! Also should get the person taking in the machine and parts verify on the service note what they are receiving.

I always include a zippered cello bag(like the ones sheets come in)
In it I have placed the items I was using when machine becomes ill including bobbin, fabric swatch, thread(or if it's an embroidery design
the hoop with the design or stabilizer I was using for it). Our dealer requests foot pedal, cord, correct foot, thread.I always include a list in the bag of my items. My cords are marked at plug with a certain color of nail polish(place a dab on your inventory list)makes it easier for the tech when working on machine. I always go over list and get it signed by whoever checks them in.All the items are costly to replace..

The company always told me to just send the machine. They didn't want the cord, etc. I did send what I was working on when it hick uped. And I used a Sharpie market to put my name on the bottom of the machine and all parts possible. Didn't show and lasts a long time.
