Hi. My Bernina 830 Record (1982 model). When I'm buttonholing and get tO the part where it's reversing. The machine still goes forward instead of back on the buttonhole. Any suggestions please
Hm, I'm wondering if the selector dial is partially seized from old oil which occurs frequently in these older mechanical machines. Below is the method I've used to free-up seized machines using Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube, heat, elbow grease, and lots of patience. BUT, you will have a well operating machine if there are no broken parts to be replaced.
Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...
