Hi.
- You manual here https://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Bernina/Bernette46/118057
- Please ensure the needle is installed properly (in it is one of the supported sizes)
- Do be sure it is stopping short as it could also be any one of the causes of the upper thread not picking the bobbin thread
- If all else fails, you may need to have a sewing machine technician take a look at it.
