Well, friends, I think that says it all. Sigh. I sat down to practice my darts and to baste my dress, like the good little student I am. But my trusty Bernina Record 930 needle moved up and down, up and down, but not forward and back. What should I do? Any advice? Puhleeeze! Hep! Hep me!

Are your feed dogs up? If not, then the fabric wouldn't advance. If they won't go up, there may be some thread gumming things up. I'd try lifting the faceplate and see what they look like down there.

It looks like your feed dogs are lowered - try lifting them up and see if that helps (no idea how to do THAT on a Bernina, but your user manual should be able to tell you :) )

I agree with the other ladies- feed dogs are down.

Tragedy averted! Feed doggies were down. Thank you all so much! Working on those darts now. Practice, practice, practice.
Y'all are amazing!
