On todays agenda - Brother PR Repairs in York, Scarborough & Redcar.Steve and I headed north to collect various multi needle embroidery machines. Ahead, through the pasty grey morning, a motorway bridge framed the golden lamp of dawn. We drove through the gateway and, on reaching the other side, found
Pausing briefly halfway up the ascent of the staircase I called out to my wife - ‘it’s getting lighter’. It was approximately 6:30am on Wednesday 8th March. Snow had been forecast, along with the concerned weather warnings that half an inch inevitably produces. I continued my journey on, and on to the
I arrived at Stevies at 5am and I was immediately presented with a significant kitchen dilemma. The vegetable soup that Stevie was preparing as a hot treat on a cold winters day, had announced, by way of simmering and bubbling, that it was ready to be dealt with. But how

Steve and I typed in the postcode for The President Hotel and set off on our journey to London. We've been staying at the President in Russell Square for over forty years. On this occasion Bogod were introducing the Bernina 790 Pro to a selection of UK dealers. The traffic
Take-up lever problems occur when the lever isn't threaded. Or not threaded properly. So always check that you have threaded the lever. It is one of the most common mistakes.
The drop-feed on your Bernina is a very useful feature. You can use it for darning and freehand embroidery etc. Just remember when you turn the dial to drop the feed your feed dogs/teeth will drop straight away. When you turn the dial back for normal feed and to raise the feed
Here's a brief piece about placing your spool/bobbin in to the bobbincase of your Brother PR650. It's just the same for the Brother PR600 & PR620. It's only a guide and if you still aren't sure how to fit your bobbincase, just phone or email for further help. First, draw off
We get lots of orders from Brother PR600, PR620 & PR650 Embroidery Machine owners for spares and accessories. One of the most common orders is for a new needle threader. Steve has made a short photo sequence showing you how to fit the needle threader below. This demonstrates replacing the Needle
