@@trishmaher3032 hello. I’m in the UK simply typed in Bernina nova 900 carbon brushes and plenty came up for buying. If you’re concerned at all, just check the new ones against the old ones before you put them in. If they’re slightly bigger, they can be sanded down to fit exactly. Good luck.

@@Practice_Kindness-1st thank you so much for your lovely comments. And we’d love to see some pictures once you’ve done this.

@@tristanmargot3896 hello, I’m afraid I don’t have this machine anymore so can’t check for you. Have you been able to find manual online to check? If not, it may have to go into sewing machine workshop. Good luck.

​@@mepnel Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated. No problem, I have the original manual, but does not mention anything. I have since been told it is a left aligned needle which I was unaware existed. Possibly you could confirm having used the machine. I looked at you videos on straight stitch and swear the needle was centre but looksed at another since and is definitely on the left.

@@jamiefowler4192 thank you so much for your lovely comments. And happy sewing and crafting.

@@christinekirby-j9e 😁 seriously sometimes Sewing can be challenging. I’m glad this will help you and Sewing will continue to be your therapy.

@@TimothyAsbridge_TENOR such a lovely gift from your gran. 😊🧵

Hello and thank you for the kind comments. I would definitely give it a thorough clean and oil. You will find plenty of great videos online to show you how. Just take photos if you are going to take things apart so you can reassemble them. I assume they were talking about the pressure the presser foot put onto the fabric. If the pressure is too light it won't pull the fabric through the feed dogs and if it is too tight then it is the opposite problem. Most machines have a way to change this and I hope you find some more information online. I service and clean and oil most of my machines myself and it was trial and error as you cannot afford to have this many machines serviced by a store. :-)

Danny that the same problem I'm having I hope she add that video soon.

Hello, often this is because the rubber o'ring that is on the base of the bobbin spindle (inside the machine) has hardened or broken from age. This rubber ring connects with the hand wheel and creates the spin to wind a bobbin. It is easy to check this by removing the top. Good luck. x

Wow, what a wonderful gift. Happy sewing :-)

Hello, usually they are just pushed in and then pulled back up. Sometimes these get bent and this is very difficult. Try dropping a bit of oil and use pliers to see if you can pull it up. Good luck.

You may want to consider making the picture or lace a tiny bit smaller all the way round and as long as when it slides the panels don't touch, it should work. Definitely worth a try as you can just remove it :-). Also consider the self adhesive lace designs for windows.

Thank you so much Mark I really do appreciate the encouragement. Love Michele.

@@nuzhatyasmeen5271 i’m so sad your machine is not working properly for you. It certainly sounds like your capacitor in the motor has gone if it’s smoked. Sometimes they are not quite fully broken yet and that makes them a bit erratic. They are quite a number of capacitors in these machines and they all need checking at the same time. while you’re at it check your brushes are okay as well. You can do this yourself if you’re confident and you know how to solder and they are plenty of videos online which will help you withthis. Otherwise it’ll have to go into a very good sewing machine engineer, but do not let them tell you it’s not repairable! Good luck.Michele.

Yippee! Happy sewing.

Hello, timing is a difficult thing to do unless you have the maintenance book for your particular machine. It probably will need to go into a technical.

Hi Ronnie. Sadly this is not really a problem I can diagnose online but here are a few things to consider. A) is the bobbin inserted the correct way round as per your instruction manual. This is usually with the thread unreeling in a clockwise direction when facing you. B) have any of the tension dials been moved accidentally? C) change your needle to a new one in case it is bent. D) rethread the entire machine too and bobbin in case it’s not correct or in the tension disks correctly. E) your timing may be out and unless you are familiar with this adjustment you would need to have it serviced. Good luck and I hope you come right. 😊

It is amazing and a lot of fun too. A great way to decorate with kids as well. 😁🧵🪡
