I'm lost on this topic. What difference would it make if the pressure foot is up or down? It's the position of the needle when it comes time to threading that counts doesn't it? I can't imagine trying to thread it when the needle is down. I seriously think that your dealer is feeding you a line of BS. I got a lemon Bernina & the shop didn't want to stand behind it. Go over their heads & write to the president of the company. I don't care how good they say these machines are, they do make faulty ones too. Good luck
I think you misread the topic. Threading of the machine from spool to needle should be done with the pressor foot up so the tension discs are open.
Threading of the needle can be done with the foot up or down depending on your preference.
Threading of the needle with the needle down, well, when someone figures that out, I'd love to hear it! :shock:
