This is the sort of intelligent information that treats customers with respect, I really appreciate the in depth detail that you have given us today. It definitely helps to understand the sewing process, so I would love it if you would please keep up these very informative tutorials. Many thanks from a long term owner of beautiful Bernina machines 🌺🧵⭐️
Thank you SO much for helping us to understand how our sewing machines work. This kind of in depth training is what makes me very glad I chose to purchase a Bernina. Please keep these webinars coming!
Excellent video! I never realized how important it is in my sewing process to understand how a stitch is created. It helped to better understand what makes a stitch look good, how important needle, thread, and presser foot choices are, and most importantly why you get thread shreds or snaps, skipped stitches, or loops. Thank you, Bernina, for this video and the Part 2 of Understanding the Stitch.
Thanku so much that was so informative and I learnt so much . I’m looking forward to seeing part 2 and maybe 3,4,5 ????? Job well done to both of you Thanku again. I’m off to my Bernina shop to get the correct needle I need for perfect stitches.😝
Debbie, Could you please cover the position of different fabrics in relation to presser foot or feet dogs and how this will effect stitch balance in your up coming webinar. i.e. boucle to lining fabric or interfacing. Thanks.
Debbie I really enjoyed the part on the Bernina hook. I have the original hook in my 8 series, 830 Bernina. Should I have the original hook removed and upgrade to the new hook system?
Working with vinyl is a bit more tricky because the needle will put a hole in the vinyl. Ripping out stitches is not really an option. If the hole in the fabric is too large, then the vinyl will perforate and fall apart. So because of that, choose your thread weight wisely. The needle size is chosen based on the weight of the thread, and somewhat on the weight of the fabric as well. If the thread is heavier, then the needle must be larger to accommodate for the thread size. I would recommend to use up to a size 90 needle, and a longer stitch length may be needed as well. The best thing to do is to test sew with various threads and needle sizes until the stitching appears to your liking.
In the Understanding a Stitch webinar, we talked about how a stitch is created and yes, this applies to any BERNINA machine, the B 530 and even older models. I hope you enjoyed the webinar! Join me this week for Part 2! Thank you, Debbie

I've been sewing for many years. I learned so much from this video. Great information and so well presented. Thank you!

Ticking sound can also be the machine asking for a drop or two of oil on the raceway

I agree with the ladies comment below. I have just bought a 770qe so there is lots to learn.
What size of needle and thread one can use when sewing faux vinyl and water proof canvas?

Believe the 8 series bobbin is slightly different in size than the 7 series ?
They hold approximately the same amount of thread, but you're right, they are slightly different!
This is part work Bernina 530?
