Yes, I figured I would take her up to my Bernina dealer/ service guy and have the machine looked over and serviced. Especially since my hubby came home last night and turned the machine on and it was running fine! No smoke, noise, popping etc
He thinks that there might have been dust on the contacts inside. I definitely had to clean the machine, case, accessories etc when I got it home.
