Billy? Do you answer 'ol machine questions here? If not, please ignore my question. IF you do, then here goes... Earlier this week my sis n law brought over my mother n law's circa 1977 Bernina 820....with original book, and most of the feet. (a helper threw away much, until my sis n law rescued the machine!) My question regards the top of it, where one choses either zig zag or straight stitch OR some fancy stitch. Fany stitch requires moving lever to the right backwards...and choosing the fancy stitch (lever moves to right and backwards - in theory...but it refuses to move). Am I doing something wrong, or goes the machine needed services? I really would like to start using the machine, but am afraid something may be wrong with it, so am hesitant. ANY advise would be greatly appreciated Billy (or other Bernina owners out there).
