Problems with silver on front side. (Moderated by Sharon1952, EleanorSews)
Posted on: 5/8/12 7:47 PM ET
I would like to know if anyone has trouble with the 830 bobbin's silver checks on the front side wearing off. I have only had my 830 le about 6 months and I have two bobbins that won't work in the machine, I think because of the worn silver checks. LaVae

Yes. As the veteran 830 owners will also tell you, the silver coating does wear off some of the older bobbins. Hasn't happened to me yet but I understand that most dealers will replace them for you as they can return them to Bernina.

I wondered when this would come up. I've read that it is a problem so I try to be gentle with the bobbins.

I have not yet had problems, but I've only had my machine since December. I did hear there was a bad batch of bobbins, and your dealer should replace them.

Sewing machines make me happy. I like sewing with them, cleaning them, petting them, gazing longingly at them.

No problems here, had my 820 10 mos now. I read about the defective bobbins, so I've been careful and watchful.

🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸

I've had my 830 since June 2011. I have had two bobbins that the silver has worn down. My dealer replaces them for free and Bernina re-reimburses them when they send them back. Apparently the silver can wear down quite a bit before the sensors can't read them.

Was at my dealer's yesterday. They have a new bobbin case just for the large 830 bobbins. Holds about 15 bobbins with a snap-shut cover so that they don't spill during transport. Or you can use it folded open and store 30 bobbins. VERY cool.
