Thread: OT, sort of - stitching problem with Bernina 440QEE

Thanks for the link to the Yahoo group. I had found one just for the 440 but it seems to be inactive at this point. I've signed up for the one you've given the link to and am waiting on moderator approval. On Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:57:51 -0800, Sandy wrote: Hurray, Carole! I'm so glad for you!

How I wish I could send Carole a dozen or so gators to take with her back to that Bernina dealer. THey should not have let that SM leave the store until they were sure it was prepped and Carole could at least thread it and straight stitch. My golly! Grrrrrrr.

As you might have read, while my normal stitching is going fine now, I can't get the feed dogs to lower to try free motion. The button presses in easily but won't stay. It springs right back out. The feed dogs won't stay down. I called the Sewing Center but nobody is there today who knows enough to look at it, so...

It looks fine to me, Pat, and it's something I haven't moved at all since I brought the new machine home on Thursday, since I've had no need to. The feed dogs go up and down normally when I'm sewing, so they are moving freely. They just won't respond with the "feed dog down" button. That button should go in and stay depressed, but it just won't stay. "Pat in Virginia" wrote in...

Edna, I've threaded and re-threaded over and over. I got it to where it would sew properly for about 4 inches instead of two, and then it would start snagging and looping on the underside again. So, I'm going to sleep on it and I'm about resigned to taking it back to see if it acts up for the people at the store!

Carole, I can relate to your frustration. Good luck with your new machine -- may it pay you back with years of joy for these hours of misery! ep "Carole-Retired and Loving It" wrote in message ...
