Hi everyone! I’m new to working with my (new to me) 730 record Bernina. It belonged to my grandma and she had bought it brand new in her younger days.

I have made a skirt with it and had no issues and love how hard it worked without fail but I have ran into an issue.

While sewing fabric quilted fairy wings for my niece for her birthday my needle stopped going down. It’ll engage a bit then gets stuck and now the wheel won’t move forward past a certain mid point (as pictured)

I’m in a time crunch to get this project finished and am wondering if anyone has any tips before I breakdown and start trying to hand sew.

Just adding that I live in a small fairly remote town and the closest repair shop is 2 hours away.

Thank you for any help in advance!
