I'm a Bernina girl! I have the 790 Crystal Edition, the L890 Serger/overlocker (this thing is amazing!!!) and I also own a Husqvarna Epic 2. Today my local quilt shop unveiled the Bernina 990!!! Unbelievable! If I could have but one it would be Bernina. They are solid, no plastic, the feet are heavy. The Bernina Stitch Regulator for free motion quilting is truly very cool! I love my Bernina. And my local Bernina Dealer (like 10 minutes too close to my home😉) is always so helpful in assisting me with all my questions and needs. Yes they are pricey but worth every penny. These are machines that should last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

I love the foot control! I programmed it to cut the thread on demand. No need to stop and press the button - just rock my foot back and boom! Cut thread. There are so many options to program your foot control. You can even program it to knot the thread. That, combined with the knee lefter helps me go like crazy and get things done!

I actually have had several Bernina over the years. I also have two Jukis and a TechSew cylinder arm. I love them all but the biggest problem I have with Bernina is they are VERY EXPENSIVE and have literally NO resale value. Quilting shops only want you to trade in and trade up for a more expensive machine. I will never buy another Bernina.

I just sold my b77. Worst machine I’ve ever used. Constantly fighting tension, I had to replace the foot pedal after a few months, and most of all it was the loudest machine I’ve ever heard. My husband said it sounded like a lawn mower. I love my Juki’s. I have three and they are quiet, smooth running, perfect stitches, lots of bells and whistles, reliable and much more affordable.

@mehere779 Ай бұрын
The B77 isn't a Bernina - it's a Bernette. The difference is huge. Bernina - possibly wrongly for their reputation - introduced an outsourced much cheaper range of machines made by other manufacturers. Some of the ones made by Janome are good machines (Janome is a truly quality manufacturer as far as their higher end machines are concerned - we have 3 of them) , but they are totally different in almost every way from proper Bernina machines.

Sure quilting has helped to keep so many sewing shops in business. But there are so many who sew all sorts of garments. It has gotten so hard to find fabrics to do garment sewing. Maybe your positive video and great personality will help bring garment sewing more to the foreground. Very glad to hear that your daughter seems to have your positive and knowledgeable personality.

So you’re going to shirr the width of fabric. Normally cotton which is 45” wide but if doing rayon it may be 60” wide and however long you want it that’s the yardage so 1 yard long might be up to your knees and the width of fabric about 8” down from top I’m actually doing a FREE class on it tonight 7:30 cst feel free to join!

I appreciate that you think the machines are built well, but I need more information on their build quality. What materials are used in which areas? For example, how much of the internal frame, or skeleton, is made from metal? What kind of metal is used? How is the foot “married” or “attached” to the ankle? How much of the ankle is metal and how much is plastic? What kind of plastic is used for the skin? Are the gears made of nylon or metal? How is the machine lubrication maintained internally? More data on the actual build would be helpful.
@mehere779 Ай бұрын
I can asnwer the first couple of questions - all the internal frame is a cast aluminium alloy. The all steel foot is - like all Berninas for the past 70 or so years - attached using a steel clamp assembly. I don't know the plastic used for the skin. Some gears are nylon, others are steel. The bushings are self lubricating (sintered) between services but the service schedule is very specific in how this has to be dealt with at service intervals and determines the correct lubricants to be used. Just to add - I've serviced our modern Berninas (B480/B740/B750) and also high end domestic Janomes (7700 and 11000). The build quality of both is very good. I don't think the cheap big box Janomes will be nearly as good, but Bernina doesn't make cheap end machines anyway (Bernettes are quite different outsourced machines with the Bernette badge). In some ways I think the Janome top end machines are slightly better made in that they can be more easily serviced by non manufacturer appointed technicians, but generally from a build quality point of view the top end Janomes and Berninas are on a par. Of course, the Janomes have the drop in bobbins/hooks which are vulnerable to damage quite easily (other than the 1600 and HD 9 machines which have industrial hook mechanisms - Bernina does not have an equivalent having dropped out of that market). Bernina still have have front facing high quality steel hooks/hook races.

Just over 35 years ago, I bought one of the first Bernina Electronic sewing machines. Made in Switzerland, the quality is unbelievable! It still sews perfectly today. The tension is always correct for whatever I may be sewing. I began sewing at 12 years old and by high school, I was making and wearing my own hand designed and sewn clothes (on an old all metal Brother) to school! I began sewing completely self taught! I even made purses to match my A-line dresses. I continued to sew on that old machine until I was able to afford a Bernina which was still all metal. I wasn’t going to buy a plastic machine! As a newly married sewer, most of my sewing was home design…drapes, curtains, slipcovers, etc. Bernina was one of the first to sew through 8 or more layers of denim…heavy denim. The stitch is phenomenal. I do hope to update my 35 year old Bernina soon. I have never had to have repairs or adjustments made on my Bernina in a shop. I keep it clean and oiled and it sews very quietly. I can’t help but compare the quality to a fine quality Swiss watch. My Bernina had a presser foot for everything ever needed. The cording foot is amazing as is the foot to sew on strands of pearls for wedding and cocktail dresses. I still love my old Bernina!

I have 2 machines Babylock Elllisimo and the Bernina 830LE I purchased the Ellisimo used after I had the 830LE for about 5 years. I love the 830LE for it sturdiness and how it can sew with heavy fabric. It embroiders nicely but I found it wasn't user friendly and difficult to learn the different things and how embroidery can be adjusted. I bought the Ellisimo for its embroidery. There is sooo much more the ellisimo can do with embroidery that the 830LE either doesn't do or is difficult. Hmm I would check other machines before buying one. Although I love my Bernina I don't think its a user friendly machine for beginners. I like her enthusiasm but before buying any machine try them out. Remember she is working for Bernina. I'm not saying their not a good machine but depending on your abilities it may not be for you.
