Bernina 1230 popped a spring
This morning to my boyfriend "This machine is my favorite. It quilts so smoothly. If I were to have to give it up Id wasn't another just like it" about my grandma's Bernia 1230. Apparently I jinxed myself. While I was piecing a spring pooped loose near the thread take up lever.
Has anyone fixed this? I looked up some tutorials online but I couldn't get the release on the side panel to unclip. It looks like you have to take it completely apart to get to the front. It looks like a quilt shop 2 house away has a Bernina repair. My town is a pretty isolated and having a lot of transition in craft stores.
