Hi, I was considering buy a Bernina Artista 730, I would like to know if you still in business, I saw some of your videos and you are doing the maintenance very professional.
My screen looks weird, like the liquid is pooling near the edges, and it won’t light up or sew. I have a 180 and my heart is broken!! Help? Thanks for the handle info. Mine is cracked too but I’d better figure out if I can get it working first.
I like your videos they are very helpful. Even If I cannot fix my machine at least I know what to look for and ask for. My needle on me 180 artista is not engaging. I can move it manually but not with the wheel or pedal. Any suggestions?
That’s a very common problem. There is a small black plastic lever on a black plastic part on the needle shaft. In short that is for locking out part of the needle shaft when doing a basting stitch. A small pin is pulled out and that unlocks the lower part of the shaft. That gets sticky over time due to not being oiled and the pin does not return to lock the shaft. Remove the end cap of the machine and get some oil in the lower area of the lever. Pull the needle area down and let go so it springs back up. Do that a few times and that loosens the pin so it goes back in place and locks the shaft back up once again. Thanks for watching 😁
hi Jo I live in Florence in Italy. i have an Artist 170 and can't find a motherboard for my machine. can't think of throwing my very little used machine in the trash with its embroidery unit still packed. can you help me?
Bernina flavor Kool-Aid drinkers will thank you! And great tip on where to lift the machine--I hope it leads to fewer breaks. I just opened my Bernina B215 to repair a handle whose holding pin dislodged from the plastic case. Plastic parts were never destined for long life. Shame on Bernina.
Thank you for this helpful video. My 430 has a broken spring from the presser foot lever. I bought the part I need. Is it possible for me to tackle this job myself? It seems so far in for me to access easily.
I fixed my handle with baking soda and super glue and then I sanded it down real nice and painted it. It looks nice.

How do I get the tools to service my machine like the timing pin?
