Sews by its self
Well........I was sewing on one of my Bernina 802 sport mechanical machines and when I was finished, I noticed the needle went into the bobbin area, then back up. Since I was standing beside the machine I was shocked to say the least. What would cause that?

You need to take the foot control apart and take a pencil eraser to all of the metal contacts and erase them. That's what my tech showed me to do when my Bernina1031 was sewing all by itself. It worked!

Old Berninas had a problem with capacitor that were installed to lower noise on the line. The fix was to remove them. 802 might be just that old, do a Google search, and I think you'll find something.
