JoAnne A shame about your nice Bernina. I'd be willing to bet all that was wrong was the type of thread. My boss at the quilt shop says it's because the thread is no longer manufactured with long staple cotton. Used to be you just put in the thread and started sewing. It seems now all brands of machines are finicky about the thread and needles. its a process of elimination finding what works. I finally settled with using a old Singer 301 that I picked up at an estate sale. Nothing fancy but it's a workhorse. It doesn't care what I put in it. I absolutely love it.
