Your husqvarna 2000, model 6440 machines mechanical parts are in the need for a good clean and oiling.

Most likely your reverse mechanism is stuck and needs good oiling and the old oil needs to be worked out. The best way is to take an hair dryer to warm up the reverse mechanism and even your buttonhole mechanism(You will have to take the back and front cover off for this). Or get a penetrating oil from your hardware store, normally in a spray can.

You will find that your reserve will loosen up again, but might get stuck when the it cools again. You will have to push the reverse button in and out till it releases freely. Sometimes the reverse button won't release and you need to push it back out again from the inside of the machine. Be patient, it can take a while.

Also some of the models reverse models can lock in reverse and you can lightly lift the reverse button to un-clip.

Hope this helps

Bernina 1080 dead

My Bernina is about 15 years old and has been well cared for. It stopped going so I had an electrician check the power cord and was told it had a broken wire. My sister managed to find a second hand one from the Christchurch Bernina shop but when we plugged it in the machine still would not go so I had it checked by a serviceman who seemed to think the mother board had gone. What I want to know is can they be repaired or do you have to send to Switzerland for a replacement and at what cost would it be. I have been told that maybe there is another board that may go and it would also be costly to repair so I have been advised to buy another machine. I have the extra feet for this machine and I am really asking you for your opinion as to what to do for the best. I have found your site on the computer. Would you be so kind as to give me an opinion on this matter. I cannot afford to go to an expensive machine again but have had a little look at a Janome DC 2101.

Cascade CE120SM sewing machine


Cascade CE120SM sewing machine

I have a Cascade CE120SM sewing machine which I purchased from the Warehouse about six years ago. I have been unable to use it because it seems to seize up or jam up whenever I try to use it. Have done everything in the manual to make it go incl. oil in the designated places. It seems there might be something wrong with the feeder/bobbin area as the needle seems to get jammed up where the bobbin is when I start the machine going. Have done everything according to the manual but still no luck.

Is it something I am (still ) doing wrong or is it an actual problem with the machine?

Check your hook timing(your hook should pass behind the needle hole.
