I have a Sapphire 850. You should be able to sew with a partial bobbin. When you thread the bobbin, make sure you hear a "click" when you pull the thread through the threading slot, and that it's unwinding in the right direction.

There is a Yahoo group devoted to the Sapphire. They have lots of good advice.

Can you give us a link for the yahoo group?

I think this will work:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VikingSapphire/

For the poster who said they're inactive, well, maybe they're busy sewing on their Sapphires :). If you ask a question you'll usually get an answer. Plus you can search their old messages for solutions.

I have the 830 also. And i just love it. Auto tension and all. Still getting use to it. Have had it for almost 3 yrs come tax time. Love it to pieces........The B foot is the best to use. My dealer told me that. I don't sew the bindings on it. I use my Industeral one for that. But sill love it.

Hope you manage to resolve your problem quicker than me.

I bought the Sapphire 870 about 2 years ago and it was sewing along just fine one minute and the next there was a horrible clunk and nothing. I had an awful time getting my quilt block back.
It turned out that it had serious manufacturing defects. The frame was bent and it caused the bobbin case to flop about among other things. My machine was in the shop for nearly 3 months before they decided it wasn't repairable.
I got a new 870 from the company and then I upgraded to the 875 when it came out. No more problems at all.
I love my 875!
