Very inspiring. Thanks!

Very informative video, thanks!

Hi, I just got a Bernina 930 without the foot control. I wanted to plug a electronic generic foot pedal but some people tell me is not like a normal foot pedal. Could you help me with that? I wanted to buy a new one, but to get it to my country would be expensive. Thanks

Fastidiousness 💕👍🏻🇦🇺

By idling, I mean “slow speed“ of course. Thank you.

Hello, I was very interested in your video, because I have an idling problem with the pedal (same as yours) on my Bernina electronic 830. So I removed and changed the capacitor of the pedal as you showed in the video, hoping same result. Unfortunately, the problem remained the same : on my Bernina, by pressing lightly on the pedal, the motor is starting directly at normal speed, but without idling, and accelerates to max speed, by pressing further. No idling. Maybe it's not coming from the pedal, I don't know. Could you please help ?

You saved me 90 dollars! Thanks!

Super, good job,👍

Nice one. Is there a way to fine adjust the timing of the hook on the prisma? My Prisma doesn'nt catch the lower thread correctly when zigzag. No stepper issues luckily.

Thank you for sharing. I will have a go on my prisma. It has a potted powersupply sadly...

Hey, thanks for the video. Any chance you would know where I can get a new variable resistor?

It looks good. Unfortunately, I do not understand what the losening and tightening of the black bolt/screw (second part of the video) achieves.😮

Thank you for the great video. My wife owns this machine for 40 years and it still works well. Trouble is, she recently lost the bobbin case. Do you know whether it is still available?

I love this video! Thank you. My Bernina repair guy asked me if I ever use the long stitches. I said no so he didn’t repair it. Does it affect anything else to leave it stuck? Also, how can I get the tension indicator to be in the center when the stitches are balanced. Unfortunately my wonderful repairman passed way so can’t take it to him any more.

I have a bernina foot pedal type 230, can you replace the micro switch also?

utrolig flinke

Incredible!

Such a well organised workshop. It must make working on projects so pleasant. Inspiring to organise my own space.

A very nice setup indeed, I will be stealing some ideas for sure!

Very nice.

Great video and I hope to buy a Bernina 930 some time, My question is: did you make or buy the turn table in the video. I'd love to make one and would like to know what type of bearing does it use? If you purchased it, then I wouldn't mind knowing where I can get one too. Thank you so much iama

Thanks a lot for the video! I have a problem with the feed teeth. I removed the screws that fix the plate to the small rod and I'm uncapable of putting them correctly so the button that takes them down and up doesn't work anymore. I don't know if you could show how to properly mount that specific piece of the machine. There are two small plates below thet clench with the upper part around other pieces and it may be that I'm positioning them wrong. Can you help me with some advice on how to fix it? Thanks

Thank you. Smooth, gradual low-speed control is more important to me that high speed!

You are a good mechanic for sewing machines, and your workshop is an organized dream! Please don't speak like a dying man with your last breath, wheezing, indecisive, and full of ums, errs, uhs. Clean up the speech and let that match your expertise. It is painful to hear you talk. Even at speed 2, it is dragging along like a zombie. Surely not!

Hello, I'm a textiles teacher with a Bernina 1008 foot pedal that has stopped working. Not sure if its age or problems with electricity surging in the classroom, as I have had 5 or 6 go this year. Its costing us 30 quid a time to fix them and new pedals are selling for over £100. Is there a replacement circuit board I can buy?

Like others have said Thanks for the video, Safety Capacitor had gone on my Prisma 990, I bought the Capacitors and diodes from your web site, (great service delivery was quick) The machine runs great now. I know I only needed the safety capacitor but as I was taking the machine apart made sense to change ad much as I could if one has gone maybe others are due to go. (Ive not used a soldering Iron for about 40 years but it was a pretty easy task thanks to the video)

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this excellent video.

Fantastic video. Best one I've seen. I did everything you said and now how do you install it into machine? How do you set gear against drive shaft correctly??

amazing thankyou

What problem does the worn carbon pins create? My Nova has no speed control, it’s all or nothing. Wondering if checking and changing the carbon pins in my foot control would fix my issue.

Very nice video! I have got a bernina 530-2 record and it happens to have the same exact problem. The pedal is older (the beige one). Could you please send me a link of what kind of capacitor I need to buy? Thanks a lot 🙏♥️

Thank you very much, only thanks to you and your video, I was able to revive my sewing machine Prisma 945.

I have a Bernina Nova 900 and the pedal stopped working. Upon inspection the carbon pins were broken, just installed new pins and still not working. I opened the plug and all the connections are intact. I will order your 3D printed plug if I can troubleshoot the pedal. I used a multimeter and tested the voltage with it plugged in at the plug, the microswitch goes from around 4.5 V to 0.00V when the pedal is activated. The variable resistor is 0.0V and when activated jumps to about 3V and then drops to around 1.5V. Any suggestions on what I'm overlooking?

Great video. Well explained. Thanks for uploading.

Thank you for posting this excellent video. I am working on a 980 that has a few problems and I decided to replace the capacitors using the kit you provided. The mainboard caps will be easy. When I opened up the power supply, I found that the transformer is entirely sealed into the plastic case with epoxy, rather than screwed in place. The power supply pcb does not have access to the caps on my version and seems thus quite irreparable. Perhaps this is useful information for someone else. Also by the way - I need a carry handle for a 980 to replace the broken one on my unit. Please reply if you know where I can get one. (Scrap will be fine.)

Thank you for posting! I did not have any problems with this machine but wanted to take it apart for a comprehensive clean and oil. Your video helped remind me how to take it apart. Afterward, I reset the tension and it is not only stitching beautifully, but the machine runs like butter and is so quiet. A wonderful machine.

Wonderful video💯

I have this same pedal that was intermittently working but doesn't work at all now. I have tested all the wires for resistance, they seem fine. I have tested the micro switch, it seems fine. I pulled the carbon pins out and both are broken in half. They were touching the plate but hoping that is the problem. Just ordered some, thanks for the video.

I have repaired several of this model the type 232. Some are easy like the video but some the carbon brushes will fly out of the black plastic arm. I used a thin .045 metal shim to hold them down so they wouldn't,t fly out from the springs then carfully slide it back into place. I also un hook the springs this allows the arm with brushes to exstend out past the circuit board making it far easier to install the board back in place.I lay the pedal on it,s side with the circuit board facing up it will be on the top side of the pedal.This also ensures the carbon brushes don,t fall out.

Dear SEWREPAIR, Thank you for this great and impressive Video! If I may add a little advise, I made myself, out of Aluminium angle, a set of standard holes, in Millimeter steps, which helps when punching out small pins or shafts. It is old practice from repairing difficult items like Cine Film projectors, clocks and sewing machines. Thank you again!

Excellent job. This is such a useful video. I’ve repaired one of these before and I like to watch a video beforehand to refresh my memory. 👍👍

Question, what does the electronic part do in this machine comparing to those pure mechanical (except motor of course)? Thanks.

Great demonstration. At 4:58 time on the vid there is a hook like mechanism - bottom left - which oscillates back and forth; and tensioned by a small spring. On my machine, this spring has come off the metal arm. I would be grateful for any tips on how to hook it back on. Also, what exactly does it do..

Nice video. I wonder how you get the hole part out of the machine. Thx!

Excellent tutorial!! I appreciate this so much! I've subscribed and look forward to watching all your videos. Thank you SO MUCH ❤

Thank you for this video maybe I can come closer to repair my 990S which has been standing for years when I did not come further. The transformer in the power supply is epoxied into the plastic cover - no screws. But from the video I can see what is on the other side, and I could get the PCB away by desoldering the transformer. I will clean and recap, just like in the video, and hope it will work after that. Originally the electronics work but the motor does not spin.

Wow, what great video work and commentary. What camera do you use that is so crisp and clear. Great video again. al

Great video, I aspire to repair a 990 that isn't turning on, and upgrade a 980, for heavy duty stitching work/repairs to some of my hobby items in canvas and light leather. Have a model 1200 too. I do have some formal training in electronics repair, but not alot of experience. I've repaired a few old radios and such when you can see what burned out. Thank god I found this video, I have the confidence in fixing the 990 and making reliable the old 980.

Thanks for the detailed video. Do you know if it's possible to buy the timing gears separately?

Hello, thank you for your complete explanation. What is the needle number and why does the thread break? I would be grateful if you could answer
