Help with machine

Help with machine snipped-for-privacy@nycap.rr.com (Betty) I have an 1130 Bernina and I am having terrible trouble with it. Does anyone have experience with this. It ran for 15 years with no trouble at all and all of a sudden it just dies while I am sewing. It may come on again but it is more likely not to. I have had it to the dealer twice and it is there for the third time now. The first time he replaced a fuse and the second time he replaced a board. This still has not solved the problems. Has anyone here had this problem? All help is appreciated. =A0 Thank You, Betty

Oh, I"ve just had a lot of problems with my 1130. It would run and stop and slow down, not feed. The reverse was intermittent and the needle position would change arbitrarily.

For the first problem, have them check the "slide crank" part. ($30 part) Also have them check the P print ($10)and the S print.($150) I ended up having to put about 200$ worth of parts into mine, but it was worth it and sure beats the heck out of buying a new machine. The technician at this shop is just awesome, he really knows what he is doing, plus I had excellent treatment from the shop in general, including a loaner machine to use while they figured everything out. Plus my machine is running so nice now!!

they have a toll free number, I'd call and ask about sending it to them if your dealer can't figure it out.

You might check the wiring...sounds like something is loose. Oftentimes the part of the wiring that goes into the foot pedal, or the part that comes out of the machine, gets worn (even though it may look fine on the outside). Can you get another foot controller to try on it (perhaps from the dealer?)

Nope...sorry I didn't see that post. =20

s'ok, I spent enough time and money problem solving that one that no one else should have to go through it again!!!

Thank you for your input. I am going to my dealers Monday morning with a list of your suggestions. I am tired of waiting for my machine. Thanks again, Betty

It came through but in rec.craft.textiles for me . Claire
