Bernette Seville 4 manual Google Search

I've found one site with the bobbins for the Bernette 200: http://www.thecolorfulworldofsewing.com/Bernette-100-and-200-Bobbins.html . E-bay has some listings for these bobbins. However, some listings were old and the bobbins were no longer available.

I hope this helps.

The bobbin spindle needs to be moved to the left in the slot to disengage the winding mechanism. (It may be easier to do this with the bobbin on the spindle. The bobbin and spindle should be moved to the right after putting the bobbin on for winding.)

The directions and pictures for winding the bobbin are on page 30-31 of the manual. The manual is available from Bernina on their support page for the out-of-print Bernette machine manuals: .http://www.bernina.com/en-US/Support-US/Out-of-Print-Manuals/bernette-manuals/Bernette-Sewing-Machines . The direct link to the Bernette 65 manual is here: http://www.bernina.com/getdoc/6d2754b8-af09-4edb-a6a6-7a4c57965b8d/bernette-55-65-80e-90e .

I hope this helps.

Is the sewing pedal stuck down or does it have something jammed in it?

The Bernette 50 is by Bernina. There are several online sources of the bobbins. Try http://www.gonesewing.com/servlet/Detail?no=144 . Otherwise look for the SA156 bobbin for Brother machines (http://www.sewinginusa.com/products.asp?id=2275 ) .

You can buy a manual for the machine here: http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Bernina_Manuals/50_60_70_75_Instruction_Manual.htm .

I hope this helps.

You could try to find the manual on eBay

Hi. Benieth the free arm there is a lever that you can switch from left to right. This raises and lowers the feeddogs for normal sewing and darning. Possibly you need to flip that switch lever. If that doesn't solve it then the freearm cover on the bottom needs to be removed and the feeddog mechanism cleaned and oiled. Could be stuck.
Good luck. Hope its the easy fix.
