In my last post I mentioned that I’d messed up the needle threader on my Bernina 780. After a few attempts to fix it — tentative attempts, for fear of making things worse — I’m going to have to take it in for adjustment. Drat. I hope it will be a fast fix so I can get back to quilting. Yes, I could have resorted to threading the needle the old-fashioned way (like an animal? LOL!), but I have to admit that I prefer using the threader. Does that make me lazy?

Hope the patient makes it through the procedure.

Thanks, Lynn — the visit was a success. 🙂
Always hard to give up our machines for servicing. Thus, I like to think that they’ve been so good to us that they deserve a trip to the “spa”. And, some enjoy a spa day even when they’ve chipped a nail, so why not have a spa day when the needle threader isn’t working? BTW – Mine went to the spa for the same reason, this past Spring.

I agree, Darlene! I take both of my Berninas in regularly for servicing. Luckily, this time was an easy fix. I couldn’t tell whether the little wire was bent or not, but that’s all it was. A quick 30 seconds, and we were on our way home again! I was lucky!
