What to do if there is an error during a software update on my Bernina 790 PLUS Sewing Machine?

How to fix uneven stitches on my Bernina 790 PLUS?
Uneven stitch formation can occur for several reasons. You might need to adjust the upper thread tension. Other potential causes include a blunt or bent needle (replace it with a new BERNINA quality needle), a poor-quality needle (use a new BERNINA quality needle), or poor-quality thread (use quality thread). Also, check if you're using the correct needle/thread combination and rethread the machine. Ensure you feed the fabric evenly and that you're using the bobbin case marked with the triangle.
Why is my Bernina 790 PLUS Sewing Machine needle breaking?
A broken needle can be due to several reasons. Make sure the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side to the back, pushed fully into the needle holder, and the screw is tightened. Avoid pulling the fabric; instead, feed it evenly. If you're sewing thick fabric, use an appropriate presser foot like Jeans foot No. 8. Also, using quality thread can prevent knotted thread from causing the needle to break.
What causes the lower thread to break on my Bernina 790 PLUS Sewing Machine?
If the lower thread is breaking, the bobbin case might be damaged, in which case you should replace it. Another potential cause is damage to the stitch hole in the stitch plate. Also, a blunt or bent needle can cause the lower thread to break; replace the needle if this is the case.
