Machine must have sat up for a while, it will need to be cleaned and serviced by a Bernina Dealer. I run into this problem a lot with the berninas I repair

The error message relates to the motor sensing that it is working unusually hard.........the extra strain will have a physical cause, generally in the hook and bobbin region.......something blocking or slowing things down, so.......
Remove needleplate and bobbin case.
You will probably find an accumulation of lint in and around this area, also possibly in the feeddog channels.
Use a small brush and vacuum with crevice tool to remove the lint and wipe the hookrace with a tissue moistened with methylated (denatured) spirit to remove any dirt deposits.
Also check that the bobbin case is not damaged on the top surface by needle strikes or on the underside rim by the hook gouging as it spins.
If damage is present but mild, you can use very fine emery paper to smooth surface, if more severe, replace the bobbin case. Don't forget to change needles regularly too.

How about the belt? you have to take off the outer case, usually a few screws and check it. Also, when you have the case off, look for thread inside.

It finally came loose. The instructions say to turn the inner wheel forward which is opposit of the way it should be turned which is couter clockwise. Thanks for your reply.
