I have to depress the foot pedal throughout the whole embroidery process. The auto start doesn't work with either the pedal or the reverse button.

Why will my embroidery attachment not go to the next letter unless I lower the presser foot manually and press Start each time?

When i first got my machine, i had to program it for 'continuation stitching', all it wanted to do was one letter and stop. Then I'd have to start the whole process over for the next letter. I just re-booted the machine, and it seemed to fix it's self.

How do you open the electronic foot pedal for the Bernina 1630?

The foot control function for a motor run condition is variable from 4k ohms to 0 ohms with full depression of the foot control top plate. Heeling back on this control makes a 10k ohms signal for needle down function.
To remove the top cover, peel back the vinyl top covering to expose a single hole above each of the two plastic axle or hinge pins located on each side of the top cover. Insert a pin punch (or other tool)
appropriate in size through the hole, placing the pin end against the hinge pin and pry/pop out the hinge pin. Pull out the hinge pins and remove the cover. Reverse the process to assemble the cover. To insert the barbed vinyl projections on the bottom side of the vinyl top covering, moisten the projections with a little KY jelly and reinsert into the holes in the top plate.

After setting up the embroidery module and preparing the thread, plate, and needle and then choosing design and hoop it wont sew. Yes, it is on. Foot pedal connected. The reverse button will not sta

Can you describe your problem a bit better.
From what you describing it sounds like the machine does start to embroider, it starts slow then it stops.
It is normal when you first start to embroider that the machine runs very slowley, does just a few stitches and stops. This is normal and all Berninas do this. The machine stops after these first few embroidery stitches so you can cut off the extra piece of thread. Cut off the extra thread then push the reversing button again and the machine should start to embroider. It will stop again if a color change is needed. This information is provided in your owners manual.
Make sure you have lowered the feed dogs for embroidery and there is no need to have the foot control attached for embroidery though it won't affect anything if it is attached to the machine...

It was working fine. Then stopped. When you depress the pedal the motor idles but the needle doesn't go up and down

it's possible that the foot pedal has gone out
check to make sure the power cord in inserted into the machine correctly & also the foot pedal

Start/stop button is not working.

When you have the embroidery unit connected to the machine, you must have the foot pedal cord disconnected. Then it should work. As for using this machine for normal sewing, yes, it is supposed to do that. Unless you get a lemon like mine. It lost reverse, and only takes long stitches. Hopefully your luck is better than mine with this Disney "thing".
