Broke my machine?
New to the board. Hope someone can help.
I have a Bernina 150QE bought new maybe 15 years ago, a real workhorse. Yesterday I forgot to change back from zig zag to straight stitch in the computer tho I had changed the presser foot. When I sewed the needle zigged and came down on the presser foot hard enough to break the needle. Changed the needle, rethreaded the machine, switched to straight stitch but noticed that there's no pressure from the presser foot. Reinstalled it but it seems to lower only to about 1/8" above the fabric so of course there's no interaction with the feed dogs. My dealer is about 1 1/2 hours away and I can't get there until next week; any thoughts on what might have happened?
