Check whether:
- the upper and lower threads are threaded correctly
- the needle is inserted correctly with the flat side to the back
- the needle size is correct - check the needle/thread table page 17
- the sewing computer is clean - brush out any thread lint
- the hook race is clean
- any threads are trapped between the tension discs or under the bobbin case spring
Other possible causes:
- power switch in off position ("0").
- sewing computer has been standing in a cold room.
- sewing computer requires a restart
If the issue persists or if you require further explanation, you'll have to consult Bernina: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/bernina/customer-service.
