My Bernina is sick too!! When I take my foot off the foot pedal it continues to sew a few stitches, when I push the reverse button it doesnt just take a stitch or two but sews for a good inch, when I push the needle down button the needle comes down but then it starts sewing!! I am just sick. I just had it serviced last fall and shes only 5 years old. Waiting till after Holidays to get her fixed, too much sewing to do. Hope your baby gets well soon.
