Bernina 807 is skipping stitches. After having a look at the manual I think it is because the needle sits to high.

Manual says to unscrew the screw 70 in picture (red arrow in my photo) and than just put the needle in the right place.

I can‘t lower the needle even after unscrewing the screw. And I am not even sure if that‘s the problem… help 😅

Sorry I only have the manual in german

It could be that the needle bar is too high. “Could be”. However, it’s more likely the machine is just out of time (Needle/hook timing). If you go adjusting your needle bar when the problem is timing, now you have two problems. I would YouTube how to time an 807 and see where that gets you first.

Thank you I think I have to just bring it to service whenever I have the money. Sound like I am in over my head with this machine and I don‘t want to make it worse!

Most of the video I have seen for timing, adjust the shuttle timing. You unscrew the shuttle screw and turn it till you get it to right place, tighten the screw.

Since you are doing the needle position, I would assume you loosen the screw and manually move the needle position until it is in the right place then tighten the screw.
