My beloved Bernina 1005, Matilda is back home! After a tune-up, she's running like a champ again, and I've still got both my arms and legs!

While she was out, I hauled out my Brother Embroidery and Sewing Machine (SE-350), even though I was without Matilda for less than a week. The embroidery on my Brother pooped out on me at Christmas, smack-dab in the middle of my projects, and I haven't been able to get it to work since. To be honest, I hardly tried. The stitching was all wonky, horribly loose on top and waaaay too tight on the bottom. As I recall, it seemed to me at the time that the bobbin thread was coming out on top and vice-versa. Well, the other day, I changed out the presser-feet and set it up so my MIL could sew while she was visiting. When I sat down to sew, however, I found that the fabric was puckering up something awful! I checked the thread tension and it was set on FOUR! At first, I wondered what the heck was wrong with my MIL, but then it dawned on me: Maybe that's why it pooped out! So, I fixed the tension and it's embroidering just perfectly.

What's that, the holidays are coming soon? BRING IT!!!

:thumbup:

Glad you're good to go!!!

Now you have 2 good working machines. You can have fun.

Doing the happy dance for you! LOL. So glad that both of your machines are running beautiful and ready for the challenges you have in store. Have fun and thanks for sharing.

Good news!

So glad your Bernina is up and working. Good job on getting your Brother fixed by yourself. Enjoy your machines.

Way to go, I have a hard time to get the thread tension correct. My hat off to you….
