I have a Virtuosa 160 machine. When I turn it on, it may or may not start. If it starts and I try to sew, it shuts off after a few seconds. What can the problem be?

How much does one sell for

The selling price is greatly dependent on the physical and working condition and the accessories included. If the one you have is really nice, you might try selling it on Craigslist instead of eBay because Bernina afficionados will pay a good value if they are able to visually see and test the machine. However, some people on eBay pay way too much for a machine they have seen only in pictures.

If you thinking about getting another machine, you may want to check into trading it in.

Bernina service manual for Virtuosa 160

Here is a link to a sewing machine part company where you can order the manual. It is $19, but I think well worth it if you have the machine. Good luck! That is a nice little machine. http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-bernina-virtuosa-160.aspx

My Bernina 160 stops for a brief second while I'm sewing and starts up again. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

never heard of a sewing machine doing that, contact bernina

When I tried to turn my Virtuosa 150 on, a light colored smoke came out of the top left hand side of the machine. What happened?

sounds like a capacitor, circuit board or something electrical has gone inside it; I'd suggest taking it to a Bernina service centre for deeper diagnosis as this is an electronic machine and more complex that a standard mechanical machine.

I can only sew the first bar of the buttonhole. When I press the securing button nothing happens and the machine carries on sewing the first bar. I just cannot make any of the button holes work. Can I do...

I can't be specific, but I had problems with my Bernina Virtuosa 160 automatic buttonholer.
Check the feeddog teeth height. At their highest point, the FRONT teeth height should be 0.05mm higher than the back teeth.
Good luck.
