    Massive skipping with BSR foot!!!!!

    Gosh, I was in the midst of doing meandering on the border of a quilt for our little grandson, when my BSR foot started skipping about 5 stitches OFTEN!!! I tried everything--rethread, new bobbin, oil machine, new needle, checked tensions--no luck!! Then I GOOGLED the problem and found out that in 2010, Bernina found out it had a problem with the spring in the original BSR feet. They made a fix--new stronger spring. I never got that memo!!!! So, I took my BSR to our wonderful repair guy and he replaced the spring while I shopped--no charge!! It works perfectly now!!! But, dang--I had to go back over lots of skipped stitch areas--tacky, tacky, tacky!! I don't think our little grandson will notice those areas, but I sure do!!!

    Interesting re your skipping problem my dealer didn't mention the spring just said he'd updated the foot. My initial problem was skipping stitches on darker fabric.

      I may take my BSR into my local dealer, I've only used it a couple of times and it skipped stitches. I thought the problem was me and have continued to use my 'darning' foot (not sure if that is the right word - foot 24) with no problems, for FMQ.

        I took my BSR back in 2009 after struggling with it for two years. They gave me a new one at no charge. I still had issues with the BSR and finally gave up on it. I think I will take it back in and see if the spring is the problem.

        Thanks for the information.
