Tip: Inserting the Bernina Jumbo Bobbin Hook: Here is a super easy way to FLIP the hook back into the machine. by Sara at SewingMastery.com
As a teacher, I have been searching for an easy way to help students insert the new magnetic hook after they have finished oiling their Bernina’s with the new Jumbo Bobbin hook. Today, I figured out the perfect solution. Sara See Sara's Solution On Video HERE Technically Speaking: BERNINA 535, 480, 475 Top Tension Not Releasing Recently we were made aware of an intermittent issue with top tensions not releasing after a thread cut, thus causing tension issues and bird nesting. When an operator selects the auto thread cutter and does not wait until the cutting process is complete, lifts the presser foot by hand or by FHS, there is a sporadic chance the top tension is not releasing. We have also seen the hour glass icon spinning. With machines that have an automatic presser foot lifter the timing between cutter and lifter action is governed by the FW, therefore we do not see such issues. For right now we can provide this solution. If such issues appear, please let the consumer know to slow down and let the machine cut the thread first before the presser foot is lifted. Lowering and then raising the presser foot bar should release the top tension disks. This may take 2-3 times to release. If the hourglass appears it maybe required to reboot the machine.
