Thank you for helping to dispel the myth. I was using air compressors to clean computers before I retired and started using them for sewing machines. Never once had high velocity air knock anything loose except for the dust and lint. It’s an invaluable tool, and I’ve had a few machines where air was the only thing that helped clear up a tension disc issue.
Hi Francesca, We respectfully disagree. We value the PS500 as an incredible machine at this price point and since we've started selling this machine in our shop our customers have given it excellent reviews. Of course, we respect and value your opinion, this just hasn't been our experience with the machine. Kind Regards, The Sewing Machine Shop
I wouldnt recommend you use canned air in a bobbin system. The micro-lint can sometimes evade our line is sight and get lodged further inside the gears where it can then become unreachable. Use the cleaning brush that comes with the machine. They usually are static charged so lint clings to the brush fibers when cleaning the bobbin area if your sewing machine. Cool video though. Your valuable information is really important.
Very good advice. I do almost exactly what you suggested. Except I pull out a length of the thread and hold it at the spool while I thread the machine, especially the take up lever. Thanks for showing us a close up of the threaded take up lever. It is hard to see it on the machine.
Your camera person should have worked with you in sync and adjusted the camera position (7:13) to zoom in from another angle so that viewers can see you thread the needle. 🙄👎
Good thing that you have this channel. I have NEVER heard of your shop nor did I know that it existed. I just looked you up online and read a little bit about your shop. Good to know, since I live in Contra Costa county.
Overengineered junk mostly from Thailand. The tiny B325 is $1500. A Bernina comparable in size, power, and features to the machines described in this video starts at $4000. And that includes board and sensor failures, flickering screens, strange error messages (they're so common, they have a nickname: Gears of Death), etc.
I have a couple Bernina sewing machines - one older and one only a few years old. I purchased a BabyLock Presto 2 in March 2022 and I love it - so much more than any Bernina! The Big B machines are way overpriced and the attachments (feet, etc.) are ridiculously priced! I also have an older a Husqvarna Viking SE LE and and a couple vintage Pfaff machines (not including my collection of vintage Singer machines from 1926 to about 196O). The vintage Singers are great - won’t touch one from about 1960 on!! But I’ve been using my BabyLock Presto 2 since I brought her home and she’s perfect (wish I was as perfect!!). Haven’t touched my Bernina 350 for some time and when I tried it several months ago it started making a weird sound - no reason for this to happen! So she will be visiting a local Bernjna repair for probably a much larger price than I paid for my BabyLock Spa Day! Bernina is trading on their name in my opinion!!!
@@sandybruce9092 The lower end models like the 350 Bernina do not do what the higher end models do. If you just purchased say for example, the 570, you'd be amazed. I bought my top-of-the-line model in the year 2000 and have not traded it off because I love it so much. Baby Locks, I understand, are made by Brother and to me are only a mediocre machine.
Both of them are basically tracking the same way an optical trackball or mouse tracks. One uses infra-red and the other is human visible red. I also saw Janome's unit uses the older USB3.0 B connector while Bernina uses what appears to be an off the shelf TRRS connector like that on older smart phones. Personally I prefer the USB connector, more robust.
5:34: "raises it up raises it down" . I think you meant to say raises and lowers the presser foot. Anyway, I like this demo. Your explanations are very good and the comparisons were really spot on.
