bobbin case swap?

The bobbin case on a Bernina 155 seems to have a sharp edge and is cutting the thread. (I caught it in the act.) It crosses my little mind that the bobbin case from the Bernina 1230 would swap over to the 155 with no problem - or I could cause a terrible disaster. Hurricane Katrina urged my Bernina guy to build a new shop far away and I am plodding along without supervision. Do any of you know if using the bobbin case of the 1230 in the

155 is totally harmless or would just be asking for trouble? Polly

Hey again Polly, I nosed around and if this page is right they both take the same replacement part:

It's my understanding that all Berninas with the CB hook take the same bobbin case, but you could call a dealer to be sure.

Well, Taria, the cereal numbers (sorry, I just could not help myself) appear to be the same for the 1230 and the 155. Thank you so much. Coward that I am, I believe I'll just wait until I can track down my Berina guy. He just got so angry when he caught me using bargain bobbins that I'm afraid to push my luck. As much as I would like to, I haven't figured out how to stitch on two SMs at once anyway. I sincerely thank you. Polly

Thank you, Linda. That's just what I'm going to do. I had not realized that bobbin cases really are not expensive and think a spare one would be a good idea. Polly

Howdy!

Remember our friend Teresa in Colorado? She opened a couple of Bernina shops and will gladly answer your question(s): http://70.57.49.181/presserfoot/Site Good luck!

Not a Bernina owner, but what's the worst that could happen? A broken needle maybe? If the case fits at all, of course you would cautiously try one revolution of the needle by hand before going pedal to the metal, to avoid dinging the case. Wouldn't you? Do the cases look alike? Roberta in D

Yes, I remember Teresa. I miss her terribly; just figured she was dealing with snow and such and hated to bother her - if I could get through. Polly

It was the 'timing' that concerned me, Roberta. I understand timing such as waltz time and marching time, and some elusive time such as '10 seconds to go in the 4th quarter' that may last 15 minutes, but I'm ignorant when it comes to Bernina time. It's a long trip from the Swamp to a Bernina dealer and I was hoping to avoid one. Maybe I can catch a dealer today. Polly
