Needle Adjustment To Center It Evenly…on Bernina #817
Hi, Re: Bernina #817
My needle post is too much to the left and not enough to the right.
Which screw and where is it situated so that I can make this adjustment making the needle equidistant in the widest zig zag position without touching either side of the plate. I would need mesurments in mm. if possible.
Is there a manual available or the diagram page/instructions I could follow. I am quite handy mechanically so I can do this.
Thank you.
Pauline
