Dear @kerrieparker6367, the balance helps to adjust the stitch pattern when the sewing result doesn’t look regularly, depending on the used fabric, thread etc. When you sew the honeycomb stitch (S1, Stitch C) for example and the stitch is too loose so that the corners do not touch, you can use the balance to correct it. Of course it will also work the other way round when the stitch is sewn to tight so that it is overlapping. Another application is for example, when the two beads of the buttonhole are sewn differently.
Hi @Arlenedesigner. Thanks for your inquiry. On www.bernette.com there is no instruction for bindings with the b42. To make a bias binding with the b42 you can either sew the binding in two steps, by stitching your bias tape onto or under the edge, fold it around the edge and topstitch it, using a coverstitch or a chainstitch of your preference. Or you can use the BERNINA binder C21 for a double fold binding or C22 for a single fold binding (both accessories require to have the accessories holder). How that works in detail can be found on www.bernina.com under the respective binding accessory. With this we wish you fun and pleasure stitching with your bernette 42.
Was ich gut fand, dass so wie im Video gezeigt wird, die Maschine nicht den Unterfaden hochgeholt hätte! Der Unterfaden wurde einfachmal von Spulenabdeckung eingeklemmt. Und das BESTE! Die Maschine wurde vorher ausgemacht! Ausgemacht! Da ist nichts mit Tasten drücken!
Dear @moialicze thanks for your comment and for spotting that detail at 1:10. The screwdriver shown in the video has been packed with the first 100 machines supplied, and with our machine for filming. However, following machines have been equipped with a shorter, triangle style screwdriver that allows to unscrew/tighten the screw at the rear of the stitch plate comfortably. Should you be one of those, having a very early machine, please contact your authorized bernette dealer for a suitable screwdriver. We trust with your maintenance and care you will have many pleasurable sewing hours with your bernette.
I have the same problem. As this video was made 7 years ago, and I bought my machine less than 2 years ago, I’m disturbed to find that I might have been sold a very old machine that has been sitting around at the dealers for at least 5 years!

Dear @jf8357 and @audenhealey2643, the bernette 08 Straight Stitch machine is the new sewing machine from bernette with a unique package of features such as its Swiss Design and accessories. The b08 Straight Stich comes with the super spacious extension table (23.6” x 15.7”, 60 x 40 cm) which gives all the room needed to spread out. Additionally, bernette offers two customer oriented and carefully selected presser feet sets for the b08 Straight Stitch machine. Other optional accessories are available. With all that, the b08 differs from other Straight Stitch machines in the market. bernette is part of the BERNINA Textile Group. The entire process from product specification to production is controlled by our headquarter in Steckborn, Switzerland, to ensure high quality. The distribution of bernette products via the BERNINA sales network guarantees an extraordinary service in support and maintenance.
I know that dinosaur pattern! Also happy to see bernette has joined the 1600 spm gang. I have a similar machine (exact same setup), and it's a beast. This is a great option for apparel sewists, quilters, cosplayers, and bag makers alike!
AllBrands has it listed for 1,999. Unsure if that includes the auto thread cutter foot pedal. Have one on my Juki and love it, but miss the needle up/down setting and foot pedal up/down control.
Dear @JoshBombFiberArts, we're thrilled to hear that you're excited about the new bernette 08! We know you'll have amazing times sewing with it. For pricing details, please reach out to your local dealer in the autumn for all the information.
i have this machine and aside from the silly music that just annoys you to oblviion this is a lovely machine good value I picked it because it can go slow and fast and not just one speed ive got to know all the settings by the book and practicing not by these silly tutorials which annoy you with the music. sorry bernette but whomever chose to put this music on here.
Dear Konstantin, thanks for your inquiry. Please contact your authorized bernette dealer for replacement screws, because with same diameter, there are different length screws available, and you may want to make sure to avoid thread damage in front of the needle holder.
The Bernette b05 Academy is the best sewing machine on today's market. What?? Seriously?? Yes! Let's cut to the chase. I wanted an excellent sewing machine to do a good job for me for the rest of my life, so I followed the brand reputation first and bought a JUKI HZL G220. What a horrible plastic piece of Chinese junk! Sluggish, the electronic system lags like on the dead bed, every response to pushing the pedal being considerably delayed. This JUKI HZL H220 actually turned out to be the worst sewing machine I'd ever tried. The quality is terrible, the machine lacks manual foot pressure regulation, and it doesn't even have any socket and pin for the second thread spool to use a twin needle! Moreover, the product stopped working after only three hours of regular use. Plastic, plastic, plastic. So I returned that piece of crap. I expected good sewing machines to be on a more expensive side, so I bought a Janome Skyline S5. Not a good choice, the motor was remarkably weak (50 Watts only), and the feed dogs did not work well enough for the price. So I returned it, too. Then I bought a Bernette B77. Not a bad machine, the feeding works really well and all the necessary functions are available. But the use is really uncomfortable: to apply any basic adjustment (e.g. the upper thread tension), you must struggle through the computer menu on the display, rather than simply adjusting a dedicated dial directly. Everything is computerized, even the pressure foot lift is electronic and lacks the standard mechanical lever, which sucks. So finally I came to the conclusion that these "modern" electronic/computerized machines are not worth my patience at all: they offer hundreds of stitches that no one will ever need, but the basic functions are uncomfortable to reach for. So I returned it. At last, I decided to return to the good old mechanical system and got searching for the best choice among mechanical machines. Having gone thru tens of various offers and read tons of information, I finally decided to take up the Bernette B05 Academy. Bingo! I hit the bull's eye! The machines has EVERYTHING and even more, it's sturdy, super strong, extraordinarily fast, and the control is based on standard of directly adjusting the mechanical dials. The quality of stitches is amazing, and even the price is a piece of cake. So I finally decided to buy two, and I'm really happy.

I really hate fabric pucker from the clamp type hoops that come with our machine, that why I use magnetic hoops, NO fabric pucker!!! And easy to hoop with the small round magnets!!! Works for me😊
Bonjour, j’ai un souci avec ma Bernette Chicago 7 elle affiche canette vide, alors que la canette est pleine avez-vous une solution pour mon problème car je ne peux plus m’en servir alors que je viens tout juste de l’avoir .
Dear @SewWhittle, when using the standard zigzag foot you can guide the fabric along the edge of the transparent part. But we have optional feet that are particularly made for patchwork. These are the "Patchwork Foot with Guide" or "Patchwork Foot for Dual Feed". Both are helpful to sew accurate seams, depending on your preference.
Hi! Did you resolve this issue in your machine? My new-to-me b77 bobbin winds unevenly as well, with more thread toward the bottom of the bobbin. I adjusted the tension screw a few different ways, but that wasn't a fix. So frustrating!
@@Mybernette Thank you for the response! I actually did take the machine into my local dealer for service, and while the bobbin winding function improved, it actually still isn't optimal. A little disappointing for the quality, brand, and price point of the machine, in my opinion.
Dear @Melan1e4ever have a look into our tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dmIzz7o3KEA.html where we explain the bobbing winding and threading.
Good morning, I need help. I have bernette b79 the v9 embroidery program . But I have a problem, even small embroidery takes a long time to complete. What am I doing wrong? Maybe someone can help me

There can be many reasons for this. We recommend rethreading the upper and lower thread and replacing the needle. Then make a test seam on a simple piece of fabric (e.g. cotton). If there are still skipped stitches, please contact your specialist dealer: bernette.com/dealersearch
this video gives very little information on the crucial aspect - the sewing of the actual buttonhole. It makes it seem like you simply set things up and run the machine, and it automatically makes the buttonhole. My machine definitely does not! And I'm confident that I have things set up right, but there's too little visual information at this key moment for me to be sure if I'm doing things right.
Dear Julie, for more instructions in the video, please activate the subtitles in the video settings below right. You can choose your prefered language. The buttonhole is sewn automatically when a button is inserted and the buttonhole lever is pulled down. And we always recommend sewing a test buttonhole on the same fabric as the actual project. Nothing else is then done on the "real" project. You mark the starting point and, if necessary, a straight line, position the fabric under the presser foot and start sewing.
It is not possible to make the bead wider or narrower. You can adjust the lenght of the buttonhole, the stitch width and the stitch length. More information about the buttonhole are in the instruction manual on the page 43 (on bernette.com/b38 at the end of the site as download).
Dear Charmaine. Thanks for your feedback. We understand that you find required information in the video tutorial, or do you have a specific question? Kind regards
