I can't be the only one to worry about this. I'm doing a project on my Bernina QE153 and I'm breaking a lot of needles. I'm going to switch to a machine I don't care about so much that is more heavy duty, but I cleaned the nina out, got rid of the dust balls, and changed the needle...all those things you do. But I can't find the broken tip and I've turned her upside and shook it, don't hear anything...so is the needle tip in the project? Do I need to take her in to get it tuned up and checked? Or am I ok to not worry about it? Thanks.....
