Glad you had success with your walking foot. We keep one permanently on one of the Brothers at our morsroom.
We were recently given a Bernina from an education establishment. I decided to take it straight round to see Steve our sewing machine mechanic. He stitched with it and too be honest it sounded a bit rough, certainly not the smooth quiet purr that I am used to from my Berninas. Anyway then Grumpy and I were witness to what I could only say was magical! he unscrewed the foot pedal (DON”T TRY THIS AT HOME OBVIOUSLY!!) and started putting bits of solder on the circuit board (DON”T TRY THIS AT HOME OBVIOUSLY!!) whilst having a football discussion with Grumpy. He then put the foot pedal back together and tried the machine. It purred. Not only was this very impressive I am going to have to say it was sexy! Steve also mentioned that the top guy in Bernina UK said he was the youngest Bernina technician in the UK and there is no one coming up learning these skills! This is very sad cos he is not that young!
