I realise this is highly unlikely, but is anyone out there an expert domestic machine engineer please. I have a Bernina overlocker which overnight has decided to refuse to function on a particular setting. Have done all the obvious things and am fast running out of ideas and patience. There is no agency in our area of any description of whom I could ask advice. Should you exist, I’d be grateful if you would pm me then will explain in detail.

Manythanks

Stephanie

Some years ago when my wife was here she had some trouble with a Wilcox and Gibbs overlocker and there was a place in Elda that does industrial sewing machines that fixed it.

Overlockers are incredibly complex pieces of kit.

For the life of me I can't recall a name but have a look on the net and you might find it. 

If you know Elda and if you go down Av Mediterraneo with Lidl on your right it is on the lights a few junctions down from Lidl. Sorry to be vague, but that's the best I can do.

Thank you so much, Classicman. I will bear it in mind as am hoping to pursue something perhaps nearer as Elda is a long way from here. Should my local investigations prove of no help, then this is certainly a possibility.

Many thanks

No problem. There is more than one sewing machine place in Elda. I have seen three.  Recommend you have a look on the dreaded Google

Second thoughts. Some might be for shoe making machines as a lot get made round about here.

I hope you have success.

When I looked inside the Wilcox & Gibbs I was amazed. It was like a big watch. So many moving parts. It even had pressure lubrication.
