Hi-

A friend has loaned me her Bernina 155 machine and I am having a crazy time trying to UNTHREAD the machine. The thread gets stuck and I have no clue how to take it off the machine and change colors.

I am sure this is 100% USER ERROR and was wondering what the heck I am doing wrong?? I own a babylock QP which is really easy to thread/unthread.

Thanks!

The first thing I think of is your presser foot raised or down? It needs to be raised.
I don't have the 155, I have a 630

Have you looked at Bernina site for a threading guide?

Be sure the presser foot is UP, and then clip the thread near the spool, and pull the thread out through the needle.

Always thread the machine with the presser foot UP. This opens the upper thread tension guides.
