Problems with Bernina 440

Can anyone tell me if they had problems with stitch selection on the
440? I tired to do a blanket stitch by selecting #51 and #56 came
up. There are others stitches that aren't correct too. I'm wondering
just how large a problem this will be to fix. I hate the thought of
losing my machine for an extended period of time.
Thanks for your help.

Back on July 27th, I told Ruby this about a similar problem and we never
heard from her again so maybe it's not so good advice.
Turn your machine off. Unplug it. Unhook the power cord. Then put it
all back. That is lazy computer tech speak for: Hang up and re-boot.
For no reason - my 1230 acted like that but it had at least 100,000
miles on it so I gave to DDIL and bought the 440. Never, ever. Not once
has it defied her. I think it's the moon. Might be just pure fear. I
dunno. Polly

Well Polly, I did what you said and then I looked at the chart once
again. I think the fact that I actually stopped and paid attention to
what I was doing helped. I kept putting in the wrong numbers and
expected the machine to come up with the correct stitch. I was
putting in 51 and hoping to get 45. I guess I really expect too much
of my machine. Thanks for the help........ DH said the problem was
between the machine and the chair.
