Mine is bought in 1972, never cause me any trouble and I am still loving and using it. I also have a 801 from my mom's estate, just as wonderful and still in use.
My machine won’t let me get into my decor stitches beyond #15. What am I doing wrong? You called it the stitch category screen that’s not what’s coming up for me
Do these fit on the artista? I am finding the needle hits the foot where it should be able to go into the fabric. And how do the artistas fit into the Bernina numbering system?
OMG- Not esthetically pleasing? That machine was way ahead of it's time and it still looks modern and great. Mine which I bought in 1974 still sews like a champ but I broke down and bought a computerized Bernina 880 a few years ago. I love that one too! Can't go wrong with a Bernina!!!!!!
Jeremy, how do I get my feed dogs back up. You said something about a button on the side. My 1630 has no button on the side. Am I missing something. What is the name of the Bernina 1630 group on Face Book? Thank you so much for this video. Do you have any more videos?
I believe the new style feet started with the a series. I believe this is also when the needle threader was introduced and they needed to create a bit of space between the presse foot shaft and stitch hole
Thank you Jeremy, just started with my machine today, was overwhelmed moving from a manual to a computerised machine….just love your approach so helpful and enjoyable!!! Thanks again. Scottie
In quilting we really want a scant quarter inch. Why don’t they come up with a scant quarter in foot so we aren’t moving needle to achieve it. Thank you
Hi sir , I own a Bernina 1630 sewing machine. We moved to a different house and the accessories box of the sewing machine is lost . I need a walking foot and a zipper foot too . Used stuff is ok . Where can I get them please? Etsy ‘s price is 200$ . Very expensive for me.
I have the Bernina 830 machine purchased in 1979. I have the walking foot from the 80s (still NEW). It has the same numbers on the jewel case and box you shared.
BTW Loved your video. Very detailed and helpful, if I watched it when I first started out hahahaha But I learned a lot. Like in the feet case, the brown felt thing, for the life of me, could not figure out what it was. I was using it to clean or shine the bottom of the feet. HAHAHAHAHA PIN CUSHION OMG I feel like a giant dork. And wow, the peddle trick. WHAT!?!? Can’t wait to do that tomorrow morning. My machine is my mother’s. I have been caring for her and have ventured into her sewing room. It something I always watched my mother do, and I admired about her talent. I just dove in and started teaching myself..I am hoping my mother gets well enough so she can get in there and teach me her tricks as well.
Thank you Jeremy for an excellent tutorial. I love my machine and I know I have only scratched the surface of what it is capable of but your tutorial helped me so much! I’m a quilter and lately when I’m quilting or even adding binding using a walking foot I’m getting huge, uneven stitches. Would you have any idea what the cause of this could be? I thought I’d ask an expert before taking it into the shop.
Hi Jeremy, thank you so much for this video. I, too, am embarrassed that I have had this machine for several years and had no idea what all the buttons were used for until watching this video. I have done heirloom sewing for years and recently machine embroidery designs. It does beautiful embroidery - as good or better than my new Bernina machine. I am passing this machine down to my daughter, so would LOVE it if you did some more videos on this machine.
Thank you so much for making this video for your friend, and for sharing it on your channel. I just bought this machine for an absolute bargain, and it would have been so much harder to learn to drive it without your video. I’m not sure I would have even bought it without finding such a helpful tutorial video to guide me. I’m so excited to sew with this machine, and I’ve saved your video so I can come back if I get lost or confused. Thank you so much.
Jeremy, thank you so much for having done this. I've had my beloved Bernina 730e for about five years now, and haven't begun to scratch the surface of what it can do. I didn't know what most of the buttons were for, so thank you for taking the time to explain them! Your friend is lucky to have you, and we get to benefit from her friends' knowledge of this marvelous machine. I'm heartened to see that there are people that celebrate this older model Bernina. It is a true gem. If I may ask a question? I am trying to do a bit of embroidery using a motif purchased online. Using a RU-vid tutorial, I've been able to (with a little help from my daughter) load the stitch pattern onto my Bernina USB stick and subsequently into the machine. I've even been able to stitch out a sample of one of the motifs. My problem is that I can't figure out how to make the machine stitch out the motifs (letters) in sequence. Would you know how I go about setting up the machine to do that? Thanks for any help you can give.
Music reminds me of walking through a waterfall of hope. Lol I’m a welder by trade and know zero about sewing, but I been binge watching your channel and just picked up an 830 record for my wife for Christmas this year thanks to your guidance in a previous video of yours. Counting down the days to give her the vintage gem, and also share the knowledgeable resource you have here at your channel. Keep it up!
so glad I saw this. Last night my machine acted like it did not want to sew curves and i think its because I have not cleaned it. Might have a thread stuck in the wheel. UGH. Going to clean tonight.
