Be sure to use a small brush to clean the lint and dirt out of your machine, especially around the feed dogs and bobbin area.
Once your machine is working again, place a drop or two of good sewing machine oil as directed above. If it is still stiff or frozen, direct a hot handheld hair dryer into the top and bottom mechanism of your machine. But DO NOT oil any plastic gears, rubber, or belts. Oil one or two drops in every oil hole (see your manual) and also every place where metal rubs on metal. If it is in fact frozen, pick up a bottle of liquid Tri-Flow Synthetic Oil at the hardware store.
(I am not associated with any Bernina dealer.) I recommend Bernina oil or liquid Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube (or similar good quality sewing machine oil) for mechanical machines-do NOT use 3-in-1, cooking oil, WD-40, or the sewing machine oil from your grandmother's sewing basket. If it is mechanical, have you cleaned and oiled your machine recently? Most mechanical sewing machine failures are because they have not been adequately and routinely oiled, the old oil has solidified and frozen the mechanics. Is your sewing machine mechanical (ie, not computerized)? CAUTION-if your machine is computerized, do NOT proceed with the following suggestions. Consult your owner's manual for cleaning and maintenance instructions: Hmm, I'm wondering if it has been cleaned and oiled recently.
