Are your feed dogs up? If not, then the fabric wouldn’t advance. If they won’t go up, there may be some thread gumming things up. I’d try lifting the faceplate and see what they look like down there.
Lauren on May 20, 2015 12:30
It looks like your feed dogs are lowered – try lifting them up and see if that helps (no idea how to do THAT on a Bernina, but your user manual should be able to tell you :) )
Laura on May 20, 2015 12:30
I agree with the other ladies- feed dogs are down.
Denise on May 20, 2015 12:30
Tragedy averted! Feed doggies were down. Thank you all so much! Working on those darts now. Practice, practice, practice.
Y’all are amazing!
