I have a Bernina 950 sewing machine and I had a thread jam, and to remove the jam the hook came apart. Does it mean every time I have a thread jam I have to pay someone to fix the hook?
Why can I do this my self if someone will share pictures or knowledge?

The hook is in the bobbin area and is what takes the thread from the needle to make the stitch. A standard 15x1 needle or 705 needle is the correct needle for your machine. They are available at ant sewing center.

I agree with Rick, it could be several things. It's not something a person can just start loosening screws and trying to line things up, you can do more harm then good trying to fix it yourself without the proper tools, take it to a local dealer for service!

My Bernina 160 had a bad bunching problem so I took apart the machine to clean it out. I lubricated the belt tensioner and lost the timing. I am having a problem getting it all to line back up.
The needle must begin to rise and create a tiny bulge of top thread and clear the hook as the hook captures the top thread.

Remove needle plate so you have clear view hook and needle. Rotate handwheel until needle reaches bottom of stroke and just begins upward. The hook needs to be right there but not too early and hit the needle. If too late the hook will not capture the thread causing a dropped stitch.

If the last thread bunching didnt cause a shaft slip you should be able to advance or retard the hook by 1 belt notch and get it back in time otherwise you'll need to loosen a shaft coupling screw to fine tune timing.

Search for videos on adjusting timing.

How to correct timming on Bernina 930
Rare timing problems with the 930. I created this technical document for Bernina dealers in 1986. Hope this helps.
25838031-wvzw5hiyyg1mbtkxk4f1otgw-5-0.jpg
Also to check for the timing of loop lift, please see the enclosed photos. Note that the needle position is in the right hand position with the hook advancing so that the tip of the hook point is exactly flush with the right side of the needle. (Photos are showing the hook point for training purposes only). These observations and adjustments are always checked with the hand-wheel turned in the DOM (direction of motion). If loop lift timing is off as per the Tech sheet enclosed, the tool for correction is still available. http://www.sewtechnical.com/

The needle or the bottom bobin holder on my bernina is mis-aligned or the timing is off so that the needle hits the rotating bobin holder every cycle. Is there a way to adjust this.
There is a way to adjust this though it is quite labor intensive and takes some specialized tools. My first recommendation would be to change the needle. The timing on BERNINA machines is far less likely to be off than on most other modern machines. The chances are far greater that your needle may be bent and is hitting the hook.

I broke a needle and now my timing is out on my Bernina Artista 170. The hook is nearly a 1/4 inch in front of the needle when the needle is at its lowest point. Please tell me how to fix this. TIA
Turn balance wheel slowly until needle has risen about 3/16" from lowest point. Move hook back until immediately behind needle and just above needle eye

Needle keeps breaking when quilting
the machine needs to be taken to a sewing machine shop & be
checked to see if it has jumped time,, a sewing machine shop
technican has the tools to retime the machine & the foot needs
to be filed to get rid of the burr on it.

930 My bobbin thread is skipping or showing a loop spiratically. I have cleaned the thread dust out and oiled. What is wrong?
Hi, always start with a new needle when diagnosing this in case the old one is the culprit. But my first inclination is that the distance between the hook and the needle needs to be adjusted. Yes, a tech job. You can look at the thread just above the fabric as the needle enters it and if there is slack then your check spring needs adjusting. The check spring is where the thread goes through on to just before the take up lever. If there is slack there will be the occasional top loop. Same with hook/needle distance. Probably time for a check up. Hope this helped somehow.

My bernina sewing machine won't do zig zag stitch on one side. when i sew only one half of the sitch works.
Sounds like its skipping stitches. The very first thing to do is put in a new needle. A dull needle will cause this for sure.
After that it may take a tech to make some adjustments.

1) The hook is slightly out of time. On this type mechanism, there is
a slight difference in timing for the different needle positions.

2) The needle bar is slightly too high.

3) The hook and needle are too far apart, and then the skipping would
be more apt to show up on light weight fabrics.
