The needle of my Riccardo 9900 sewing machine hits the bobbin case and so doesn't go down to the bobbin to fetch the thread. How can I mend it

Go back to basics. Sometimes it's something obvious you've simply missed when setting up the machine. First check the bobbin is inserted correctly. Next check the needle is fitted correctly. Some needle shafts are shaped and need to be fitted a specific way around. Have you tried a new needle as a bent or blunt needle can cause issues as well. Recheck how the machine is threaded as this can affect how a needle moves.

I need help changing the light bulb on my Bernita 801 sewing machine. I am unable to remove the old bulb. Thank you,

Do you mean the Bernina 801 Sport? If this is the correct machine, to remove the bulb, you need to push up on the bulb and then rotate counter-clockwise. Then pull down on the bulb. This bulb is large enough that you shouldn't need a special tool to push the bulb up into the socket. When you put the bulb into the machine, push up and then turn clockwise until you reach the stop. The manual for the 801 Sport is available here: https://www.bernina.com/en-US/Support-US/Out-of-Print-Manuals/BERNINA-manuals/BERNINA-Sewing-Systems . The current link to the manual is https://www.bernina.com/getdoc/8fdb6352-a532-4575-9854-b96eaa0a2b75/BERNINA_801_manual . You'll need to extract the zip file and look at page 40 (page 19 of the PDF) of the second part of the manual. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Where can I find a Janome kwiknit Knitter CHJ-3 munual?

I have the Janome CHJ-3 Kwiknit Knitter and am having some problems with it. Purchased this machine some40 years ago and used it an awful lot and was always very happy with it. After storage and loaning it out, it now does not work. Needs a service I suppose which I would like to do myself. Does this machine have a sponge bar? Also I can copy the manual and send it to you - please let me know.

I have a Bernina 802 sewing machine and the reverse won't work to back stitch. It seems the feed dogs are lifting up at one end rather than just shifting back. How can I get it to work?

Lovely machine, sounds like it may need some age related maintenance. Start by oiling all the red dots. If you are not familiar with the oiling spots internally, I’d suggest checking out Facebook group vintage Bernina sewing machines, the group has files including manuals and service manuals. There is about 14 points to lubricate these.
Good quality sewing machine oil, not household or 3-in-1.
