Could you please show me or tell me how to install the bracket for the Bernina 770 magnifying lens set. I am nearly 50 miles one way from a dealer and don’t feel something that appears to be this simple, that I should have to drive nearly 100 miles round trip plus pay a licensed Bernina technician to attach this for me. Sure would appreciate it and thank you for your time.
Dinae —
I don’t know how to install the brackets myself. But I think if you go up to BERNINA’s website the instructions might be there — and if not, call them and ask. Let them know your situation. Also, I don’t think you need to pay to have them installed – it’s a five minute fix.
best regards,
Annie
