  If the upper thread keeps breaking on your Bernina sewing machine, consider the following: * The needle and thread combination might be incorrect; match the needle with the thread size. * The upper thread may be too tight; reduce the upper thread tension. * The machine might be incorrectly threaded; rethread it. * The thread quality could be poor; use quality thread. * The stitch plate or hook tip may be damaged; contact a specialized BERNINA dealer for repairs. * The thread may be caught in the area of the thread take-up lever; replace the stitch plate.

  If you encounter an error during a software update, first ensure you are using a BERNINA USB stick. If the update process is blocked with an inactive hourglass, remove the USB stick, switch the machine off and on, and then follow the display instructions. If the software update data cannot be found, unzip the update data and save it directly onto the USB stick, not within a folder.

  If the machine doesn't start, first ensure the room temperature is favorable by placing the machine in a warm room one hour before use, and make sure it's connected and switched on. If it still doesn't start, contact a specialized BERNINA dealer as the machine may be damaged.

What to do if my Bernina 555 Sewing Machine skips stitches?
- M
  Melanie MartinezAug 25, 2025
  Skipped stitches can occur if you're using the wrong needle, so ensure you're using the 130/705H needle system. Replace the needle if it is blunt or bent, and make sure it is a BERNINA quality needle. Check that the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side to the back, pushed as far as it can go into the needle holder, and that the screw is tightened. Finally, match the needle point to the material's texture.
