This is one of the best videos I've watched with great explanations, illustrations, and clarifications. You are very thorough. Thanks for making the video, even 3 years later it still has value as if it is the day you've filmed it. 😃
I see that the foot looks like "old style" with the two prongs but your machine is a newer machine. So does that mean I could buy the old style for my 790? TIA
Thank you so much - I just got this foot to do thread painting - as a bonus now you have shown me how to do a monogram on my regular Bernina. I really appreciated your instructional manner as well.
This is the best sewing instructional video I have ever watched, and I have watched a lot! Thank you for such clear, direct, and right to the point instructions.
Oh! My goodness! I am binge watching your great videos! I am loving lace these days, i will be trying these techniques very soon! Thank you my new friend.
Kathy, I just want to tell you what a really great teacher you are, both in person and also on video! I would say that no one I have seen is up to your standards. I hope you are doing well and taking care of that grand baby! Charisse
I found out the hard way that with a 60 weight needle that I CANNOTuse my needle threader so when I use that needle I have marked the package do not use needle threader and I put a small sticker over my needle threader button just in case I do as a reminder not to.
OMG, I am so happy I found you Kathy, Thank You!! I went to an applique class and we were not shown any of these techniques. My goodness I am so happy to have been looking for more applique videos nd found you , so much information thank you. I will be trying these ideas for sure.
Of course it will. The machine will limit the maximum width that can be used based on your selected foot. If you need 9mm satin you can always use 20D that came with your machine. You can test and select 1315 stitch. If you choose foot 1C or 20D you can see that you can make it up to 9mm wide but if you choose foot 23, it will be limited to 5.5mm.
I appreciate this video and even your wonderfully sweet voice! Some unsolicited advice is that you let us know the name of the stitches you proceeded to use from the machine beyond their numbers. My machine has different numbers than yours, for the same stitches. Thank you!
Kathy, you are THE best sewing teacher I have come across. I absolutely love watching your videos and have learned SO much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤
