Your machine is seizing due to lack of regular oiling.

Here is a diagram of the oil ports for your 830 Record:

The feed dog control is the knob at the very bottom front, right side of the machine. If the feed dogs are not dropping, most likely the machine needs a thorough cleaning and OILING! I use Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube.

Depends what you are trying to do. There are instructions in the owner's manual, ie calibration, setup, troubleshooting, etc.

Is it a new 830 computerized model or the older 830 Record mechanical?

If it is the 830 Record, it needs oiling--1-2 drops of good quality sewing machine oil (specifically concentrate on the stitch selector lever and oil the metal parts that move against other metal parts) Do NOT oil the cams, plastic gears, any rubber parts, ie belts, bobbin winder wheel.

Bernina Record 830 Sewing machine instruction manual

Hey, I have a Bernina 830 Record. If it's the same machine, set your stitch length at 0 then back it off about 1 to 2 turns. The middle button is your button hole. Got to one and it goes down the left side, #2 is the bottom cross bar, #3 goes backwards up to form the right side of the buttonhole and $4 is the tack across the top, #5 stitches it into place. I have my original manual if you have any other questions!

Hi Rose Mary,

I'm assuming you are talking about the original Bernina 830 (their newest machine is also an 830!)

If you've not had your machine professionally serviced in awhile, it could be as simple as a good, thorough cleaning and adjusting. Your machine should be professionally serviced about every 1-2 years....not a bargain service that blows out the dust and puts oil on the hook, but a service that checks all the gears for wear, adjustments, hook timing, feed timing, grease for the gears (if required), removes lint build-up deep in the machine - very thorough.

There are various gears in the 830 that control these functions. It sounds as if one of the gears may be either broken or jammed. Unfortunately, unless you are trained in machine repair, this isn't something you should attempt. When gears are replaced or adjusted, generally the timing of the machine must be reset as well.

We would recommend that you take your Bernina to your nearest authorized Bernina dealer (they'll be trained on your specific machine and have easy access to any parts that may be needed).

If you do not know a dealer in your area, you can search on the Bernina website.

The original Bernina 830 was one of the greatest models Bernina has made and is well worth putting the money into keeping it running. Great machine!

Hope this helps narrow down what may be happening.

Happy stitching,
Kim & Linnette
