Deb S 0 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have a Bernina 880 that is sewing a beautiful stitch, until I go to embroider. I have cleaned the machine, bobbin case, bobbin area, oiled, cleaned the sensors in the bobbin are, made sure the threading is correct for embroidery, tried three different bobbins, and I am still getting interruptions in my embroidery with the bobbin message on the screen. I am so frustrated! Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for any assistance and ideas! I love this machine, but... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sewingpup 230 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Deb, Other than the messages, does everything look OK? Don't have this machine but those silly top thread, bobbin thread messages can drive you nuts! Sometimes when embroidery the thread is moving so fast it flops a bit and the silly sensor thinks there is a problem...sometimes...you can turn the sensor off.... and sometimes the dealer can adjust it enough to stop the false messages....or sometimes...I just keep pushing the go button again and telling the machine to knock it off...Lin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deb S 0 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thank you Lin! I am going to turn that pesky bobbin sensor off and see if I can make it through a project! I didn't even know that was possible. I appreciate your input! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carol murphy 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 There are some very big bobbin sensor issues with the 880. I have tried to have mine rectified since it was purchased. Be sure u go to a respected BERNINA dealer. Two of mine did not know what they were doing.(. Yes they were BERNINA dealers) A fourth dealer smartly said this needs to go back to Bernina- last fall they created a chg in the bobbin sensor- have yours chg’d and see if that helps. The 880 is notorious and mine is still not sewing right I’ve owned four other embroidery machines - all were great til this one- very upsetting and I’m still making payments and there r no lemon laws to help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Williams 0 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Hello Did you get a fix for the bobbin concern? I'm having the same problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cagey 772 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Williams, If you put your curser of the poster's name, you will see when they last visited. Deb S who asked the question has not visited since December 2016, so I would not expect a response. Cagey SueD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
