Sewing machine repair in Lexington, kentucky
My Bernina 710 keeps getting thread stuck in the throat plate. I'm guessing the tensions off? Anyhow, I can't fix it. Sometimes when using the thread ciutter, the thread gets stuck under the throat plate. I called First in Quilting. They said they'd need the machine three weeks. The last time I took a machine to Quilters Square, I waited two months and nothing was ever done to it. Does anyone know of a goo Bernina repair person in Leximgton, Kemtucky? If not any suggestions on fixing my rats nest? Bonnie

In your service panel, there's a tutorial on how to move the cutter out where you can clean it yourself. Those pesky thread bits can sure ruin a good sewing day. It's not likely the tension. But it could be a burr on the hook or needle plate.

Did you check out Sew a Lot in Lexington? They're really expensive and I've honestly not used them because of that, but I understand they do good work. This is not personal experience, just what I've heard.

I don't find Sew A Lot expensive, but right now they are getting ready to do a remodel and are not taking any repairs. I can say to stay away from Continental Sewing in Eastland! There is a Bernina dealer in Liberty. The name is Quilter's Trunk. I have spoken with them and they are very nice and I have heard a lot of good things from people who have had them do repairs. Their phone number is 606-787-7648. Hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9-5. Address is 694 South Fork Creek Road in Liberty. Their website is www.quilterstrunk.com
They are probably a little over an hour south of Lexington. I know from Richmond it takes me about that long to get to Liberty.
