Bernina Sewing Machine Repair
Bernina machines hold very tight tolerances, which is why they sew so well and why they need a careful hand when the hook and needle relationship drifts. We service the old Record machines that still outsew most of what is sold today, and the current computerized models. We are an independent repair shop, not a Bernina dealer, and we are not affiliated with the manufacturer.
Common problems with these machines
- Record 830 and 930 machines needing motor brushes, clutch service and tension rebuild
- CB hook timing and hook clearance that must be set very precisely
- Stitch regulator sensors that stop reading movement on quilting setups
- Foot control and speed control faults on older models
- Presser foot lift and knee lift linkage falling out of adjustment
- Bobbin case wear that shows up as uneven tension on fine fabric
Models we see often
- Record 830
- Record 930
- Bernina 1008
- 5 Series
- 7 Series
- Bernina L series overlockers
Hooks, bobbin cases, feed dogs and belts for Bernina machines are available, though some parts for the older Record models take longer to source. We keep used Bernina parts specifically for the vintage machines people bring in.
We are an independent repair shop. We do not represent any manufacturer and we have no affiliation with the companies that make these machines. Brand names appear only to describe the machines we service, and each name belongs to its owner.
