Do you still love this machine? I was thinking about buying one.

I am sorry for the delayed reply - I need to update my notifications. To answer your question, yes I do still love this machine. I have used it for quilt piecing and binding, embroidery, free motion and machine quilting as well as other projects. The only thing that it is a challenge is super heavy duty sewing, like home dec, thick bags etc. which is understandable - as that type of sewing does better on a semi industrial or heavy duty purpose sewing machine. If it is your first experience with a Bernina computerized machine, it does take a little time and patience to learn the features, but once you do, it will be hard to switch to another type of machine. My favorite features are the easy interchangeable feet - just flip a lever to switch out. I also love the press and release to remove the needle plate to easily clean under the feed dogs. There are memory combination stitches that can be customized, the presser foot hover is amazing. The needle up/down with the back of the foot peddle is convenient and finally the jumbo size bobbin. It really helps for a pleasant sewing experience. I hope you love it as much as I do if you get one.

@@makeanddecorate it’s ok, you have a busy life. I liked your video about how you explained the bernina. Many other KZfaqrs had problems from bernina due to a bad motherboard. Although, it sounds like a great machine. I actually decided on a juki instead because the feet for the bernina are super expensive and because where I live, the techs do not like to fix them. So, a juki was less expensive and the feet for it are inexpensive. Thank you for explaining all of the above. I hope someone will find your response useful.

I'm assuming you used a 3.0 stitch when sewing all four sides, right? I also, will use a 70/14 needle on my machine for sewing.

@makeanddecorate Жыл бұрын
I used stitch number 4. Bernina calls it the “running stitch”. Then I adjust the stitch width and length to be wider and longer, around 4.5mm. Happy quilting!😊

Hi Jean, the fabric used in the video was from JoAnn Fabrics. There was no link to this fabric because I purchased it in my local store, and could not find a link online. I have since tried to find more of the fabric and I think it must have been discontinued. This is a link to the current double gauze fabric at JoAnn. www.joann.com/search?q=Baby%20double%20gauze&prefn1=productGroup&prefv1=Product I hope this helps 😊

Thanks for the tip! I do not have the 5mm stitch plate. I have the 9mm and I increase the stitch width a lot - which might exceed a 5mm plate. I have heard that it is good to have both stitch plates, especially if the stitch width is under 5mm wide...less fabric pulled into the stitch plate.

how do you steer the serpentine stitch? Mine keeps going all over the place and there is no way that I can keep it centered I'm putting it on a border
@makeanddecorate4 жыл бұрын
I use the adjustable seam guides on my walking foot. So on a border, I would line up the guide on the seam line where the border and quilt meet. Then each serpentine stitch I do from that point becomes the new spot where I line up the seam guide to follow. for example, if you want the serpentine stitch to repeat every inch - line up the guide one inch from the needle to the end of the guide. If you do not have the adjustable seam guides, you can draw guide lines in chalk to keep the stitch lined up.

I really enjoyed your video. You have a lovely complexion. I live in Arizona so I couldn't go to the Sew Sweetness retreat but I would have loved to. I think that Sara, Danny, William and Violet make such a lovely family. They all seem so very nice. I have made a few of Sara's bags and find them so easy to make because she has step by step videos on a lot of them. Your little hammer has a screwdriver you haven't found yet..LOL. You did a great job on the bags you made and I love your fabric choices. I have black, blue and red cork fabric but I haven't had the courage to cut into it! It's such a lovely fabric but pretty pricey.
