any idea what is wrong bernina 1130
This is a last ditch effort to find out what is wrong. Machine is skipping stitches every five seconds or so & makes a clicking sound that it hasn't made before. Hook race has been cleaned & oiled & needle gas been changed.
Thanks for the help. Joan |
I wish I knew. Can you take it in for service?
|
Change your bobbin. I've had this happen a couple of time with my 1031 and after thorough cleaning and re-threading, I found on the second time that I apparently had a bad bobbin. I tossed it and haven't had the issue since.

You may need a new check spring. It is a cheap part, but they have to take the machine apart to get at it, so it would probably be at least a 1/2 hour of labor.
|
If none of the above fix the issue, my guess is that it is out of time. Will need to go in for service
|
Changing the bobbin didn't work. I guess I'll take it in for service tomorrow. I hope I get it back before our retreat the middle of November.
Thanks for the responses. Joan |
Please post what the repairman said caused the problem.
|
I have read that dust or lint in the bobbin area will cause skipping...
|
Also might be the needle. Even if you just put a new one in, try one more! Make sure that it's all the way up in the shaft and oriented correctly.
|
The problem was a burr on the hook.
So glad I took it to be serviced and even more glad that it was repaired quickly. Joan |
