Help, Please My Bernette 66 Won't Pull The Bobbin Thread Up.
I have cleaned the shuttle. I've replaced the neeedle and I've rethreaded the machine however the thread will not catch and pull up the bobbin thread. I took the the bobbin case out and double checked for lint and made sure it was in correctly. Still won't work:(
