Take the needle out of the needle holder
remove the needle plate, be careful not to damage the screws
take the bobbin out and use a small brush or a can of computer air to clean dust, use a pair of tweezers to pull the thread of the bobbin area if needed

SOURCE: Bobbin Case

I'm having a similar problem today. I took out the bobbin case and when I went to put it back in, the whole system locks up. I've tired cleaning, changing needle taking the metal plate and piece that holds bobbin case out and put it all back in after cleaning. Nothing. My symptom is I can't get a complete stitch, the needle goes down, the whole deal acts like it will work and as soon as the arm of the bobbin case gets to 8 o' clock on the gears, It jams and won't hardly move. I cannot pull the bobbin case out easily after this. Perhaps there is someone out there that can help us!

SOURCE: while sewing the bobbin case moves, wheel locks up, needle locks

Im not sure if this will help but thought I would pass it along. My Pfaff 6122 tells me to check bobbin for thread unrolling clockwise before you place it back in the machine. I had mine turned to un roll counter clockwise, this is wrong, the bobbin will fall out when you pull on the thread while you are holding it in your hand. You may just keep putting it in backwards. Hope this works for you. J.R.

SOURCE: Machine not working after bobbin installation

Hi, it may be possible that you put the bobbin in the case upside down and its turning the wrong way. Flip it over and try it. When looking at the bobbin in the case from the back and you pull the thread, it should turn clockwise.
Hope this helped as anything else may take a tech to diagnose.

SOURCE: My bobbin case came out

I just had this same problem and although i could not find the answer online, I managed to fix it.

If you look at the bobbin case there are 3 different tabs sticking out.

First you need to have tab #1 under the main part of the machine, and #3 over top of the small twisted metal piece below the bottom fabric gripper.

The hard part is to get the second tab into the proper spot. I circled the piece that you need to move in red. If you move the little piece by pushing it with a flat screw driver, you can line up the bobbin case so that tab #2 is under the metal piece and the bobbin case will be properly set.

Don't give up! It wasn't easy to get it back but I did it, I'm sure you can too!

What can I do to unstick my bobbin and bobbin case . It comes only half way out 880 Bernina

If your bobbin and bobbin case are stuck on your 880 Bernina sewing machine, there could be several potential causes for this issue. Here are some possible solutions to unstick the bobbin and bobbin case:
  1. Check for any debris or lint that may be blocking the bobbin and bobbin case. You can try using a small brush or toothpick to remove any debris or lint that may be blocking the movement of the bobbin and bobbin case.
  2. Check the tension on the bobbin case. The tension on the bobbin case should be adjusted to match the type and weight of the thread you are using. If the tension is too tight, it may be preventing the bobbin and bobbin case from moving freely. You can try adjusting the tension on the bobbin case using the tension dial or screw on the case.
  3. Check the position of the bobbin case. The bobbin case should be positioned correctly in the sewing machine to allow the bobbin and bobbin case to move freely. If the bobbin case is not properly positioned, it may be preventing the bobbin and bobbin case from moving. You can try repositioning the bobbin case in the sewing machine according to the instructions in the sewing machine manual.
  4. Check the condition of the bobbin and bobbin case. If the bobbin and bobbin case are old or damaged, they may be stuck or difficult to move. You can try replacing the bobbin and bobbin case with new ones to see if this fixes the problem.
If none of these solutions work, it may be necessary to disassemble the sewing machine and clean or repair the internal parts that are preventing the bobbin and bobbin case from moving freely. This is a complex task that should only be performed by a qualified sewing machine repair technician.

The machine will not turn the spindle to wind cotton onto the bobbin.

What model Bernina is it? Most operate on a simple system where a rubber wheel on the bobbin winder comes into contact with the handwheel (under the cover) ... the handwheel is disengaged so the needle has no drive.......

Need bobbin case for bernina 850

I know where one is - I was using my machine a Bernina 850 when the cotton started to tangle I was so frustrated I threw the bobbin case in the canal and that is where it lies today. The canal is between Palmetto Crt and San Michelle Court Broadbeach Waters. It may be a little rusty now but you could always derust it. Good luck with your search

Assuming your bobbin tension is not too high, make sure the bobbin case is clean on the inside - use a cotton bud to clean it out. Are you using good quality Bernina bobbins - if not you're on a hiding to nothing ! It is possible that the bobbin case is deformed, but most likely your service man has set up the tensions too high ... look for someone else !

Never been serviced? Whoops, as an old tech, I'm not surprised, how often do you oil your machine and is it with quality Bernina oil or a light synthetic oil?
Have you checked the bobbin case tension? As you are using two types of thread there will always be some imbalance of tensions best when you are turning corners to slow down your movement that will help a bit, but you may have to tighten bottom tension
also another hint would be to use a Metallica or topstitching needle with a larger eye, allowing the upper thread to move more freely as the thread forms the stitches.

Bernina 910 sewing machine extension table

Hi Phoebe,

What you have is the extension table for the 830 and the 830E Bernina models. What you need is part number 301 276 100. This table looks a little different as it has a small see-through window in the bobbin area and also, it has no clamp (it has push-in pins). Ebay or a site like SewItsForSale is your best bet. I doubt the dealer could get one but if they could, it'd be likely around $100.
