My foot control began working sporadically so we replaced the brushes in the foot control. It's a pain (hold your breath and hope you don't break any plastic latches), but it worked. You could also consider replacing it.

I have a feeling that doing a reset is not going to do it, but try it anyway. Unplug from the machine and the wall or power strip for 1 minute, then plug it in again. Otherwise, the only solution is to replace or repair the foot pedal. Ebay has some for sale, www. sewingpartsonline.com or your dealer can order you one.

As far as I know, the Patchwork 140 doesn't have a needle stop up/down button. You'll need to use the hand wheel to bring the needle up or down, as needed. The Bernina machines that have a needle stop up/down button have this button below the LCD screen. (On those machines, it's usually the left-most button below the LCD.) I suspect the index giving a page number for the Needle Stop Up/Down button is a artifact of using the same index for multiple machines.

The manual for the Patchwork 140 is available at Manuals Lib here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1002243/Bernina-Activa-131.html . The Bernina 135 has the needle stop up/down button. See https://www.bernina.com/en-US/Support-US/Machines/BERNINA-activa/BERNINA-activa-135 . The manual for this model is https://www.bernina.com/getdoc/90f75840-2b12-4f46-88f2-76f09e35d8d4/030529-52-04_0303_a135-a145_EN .

I hope this helps.

Does the bobbin winder run instead?

there are Bernina manuals as pdf's on their website, www.bernina.com, then go to Support, choose your manual in the drop down box and download it. There is not one there for the Activa 130 but the 135 is there and the 125, both will be very close to your mode.

Check to see if your bobbin winder is on.

First of all, the question is: does that machine buzz when it's turned on but without you stepping on the foot control? If so, the likely cause is the power supply board. It is not defective as such, but some boards (whether new or after some period of ownership) do have a buzz, and without question some boards are noiser than others. If that buzz bothers you, the only solution would be to have it replaced with another new or rebuilt one (which would have to be done through a Bernina dealer).

Second is the issue of the bobbin area needing to be oiled after it's been serviced. Assuming when you say it was serviced that it means you had the machine tuned-up, then the dealer THEMSELVES should have oiled this area when they did that service. The bobbin area does need to be oiled on a regular basis (once every 6-8 bobbins' worth of thread usage is a pretty good guide). It would be my opinion that the dealer you took the machine to is indeed feeding you a line (about the bobbin oiling right after service), and I personally would be trying another dealer should you need further service.

Is it plugged RIGHT into the machine? Is there something caught underneath the foot pedal? might be time for a check up at your local sewing machine mechanic.
