I just bought a 570 I can't tell you how thankful I am for your videos!!! My dealer is an hour and a half a way, I left clueless got home started sewing and had instant regret. Thanks to you, you resolved all misgivings!

My machine was jamming, just listened to Jeff and fixed it, I don’t know what I would do without Jeff to help me with my machine

OH MY WORD!! That trick on putting the hook back in is SOOOO awesome! I can't tell you how much I've struggled with that!! Thank you!!!!!!

Bernina Jeff, You're a Rock Star!! You've helped me out so much with your tips. If you ever come to Maine, let me know..... there's lobster here with your name!! Thank you.

Thank you so much for all of your tips for the Bernina! I sure appreciate knowing how to use and maintain my machine much better!

Thanks Jeff!! I appreciate all of your tips so we keep sewing!!

Thank you for taking the time to share with Bernina users.

Thank you so much for that last tip, my stitch length had just stopped working so pleased to be able to get round it

Oh, Thank you! I'm so glad to have found you!

Jeff, you are a life saver! I had mistakenly messed with the screen calibration. Your tutorial got the machine back up and running. You saved me a trip to the Bernina dealer for an issue that could be fixed at home. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You cleared up some of the problems that I was having with my B790 machine. I’ll be watching for more tutorials for my 7 series machine. Thanks!😊

I loved all the tips you gave! I have a 5 series.

Thank you for these excellent videos. How kind you are to take the time to help us!

This video made my day, week and month. Thank you sooooo much!

I saved this since there are so many great tips! Thank you so much for helping us to keep our machines in good working order!

Really good info in this video. I am new to the BERNINA world and have experienced several of the issues covered.

Thank you Jeff, so love the tips, I am learning to love my 770 Bernina and you are helping me so much with this journey.

Yea, so glad I found you! Having moved away from the Western Slope of Colorado, it is so nice to still benefit from your extensive Bernina knowledge!

Thank you so much for the information you shared. All your tips are a gift for us all.

Thank you for such a comprehensive tip show. That cradle bobbin case tip is outstanding!!!!!

Hey Jeff! your hint about the needle threader - priceless! I did it three times in a row perfectly after watching this video. I was beginning to call it my "Sometimes automatic needle threader"!! no more!! Thank you, thank you thank you!! oh! and getting the hook back in - wow!! easy peasey - happy happy joy joy

Thanks,Jeff! These tips are very helpful!

Jeff- your videos are the best! So appreciate them. Thanks so much ! ❤️

Thank you, Jeff! Very helpful! I have an Activa 145 (a gift from my much loved colleague), and am eager to learn how to use the machine properly to keep it in good shape! Saw you on Just Get It Done quilts, and got to this website. While I know my machine is much lower than the models you’re demonstrating on this RU-vid video, anything I can glean will help me keep the machine in good working condition. So much to learn, but I am looking forward to learning my machine and its capabilities before I get to any major sewing. Thank you for sharing your expertise and your love of Berninas!

Jeff,I have watched several of your videos in the past. You are my "go to guy" for Bernina trouble shooting! Thank you for another wonderful video! Great job!

This was the most helpful video! I was able to follow along and complete these maintenance tasks with confidence. Can’t wait to add the wonder clip to my 790. Genius idea!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the tip on releasing the stuck bobbin case. Very very frustrating when that happens. Also, the thread catcher cleaning. Your tips are invaluable! I learn by seeing, reading and doing. Love your helpful videos!!!

Great information! Thank you Bernina Jeff!!! I appreciate your videos!!!!

Thanks for the hook tip. I dreaded cleaning and piling because it was always so difficult and time consuming to try and get the hook back in the case.

Thank you, Jeff! You are a sewing machine super hero in my book!

Thank you. Your tips are awesome.

Thank you Jeff for sharing your practical tips! I just purchased a 435. I started on an 830 almost 50 years ago. This long time Bernina “girl” is going to need videos to navigate this fabulous new computer machine. I’ll keep watching!

Thank you for the consolidated list. So helpful. 👍🏼😊👍🏼

Jeff, your the best! You have saved me lots of money with your videos. I got more info from you than I did my own shop. I even taught them how to put back the bobbin casing! Thanks!

Thank you! Lifesaver this morning for the "gears of death" I was dealing with. Great 10 tips...saving this for future reference.

Glad to have these tips in one place, thank you.

You just became my hero when it comes to my Bernina 790! I literally struggled for a couple of hours this morning trying to get the hook put back into place! I’m thrilled I came across your video!! Thank you!!

Thank you Jeff! What a great resource video!

My goodness Jeff you are a godsend, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This is info that users NEED to know. Again thank you.

Love love love your channel…..and the trick regarding the HOOK….amazing, nothing or no one has ever shown that! So grateful…

I cannot begin to thank you enough for teaching us how to do all of these things for our machines. I wish we lived closer.

You are an excellent knowledgeable teacher! I could watch you four hours! Thank you!

Great tips, easy to follow along. Thanks for keeping us sewing!!

Always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thanks.

Thank you so much Jeff. I have a 570 QE that had a stuck bobbin case and handwheel. All fixed now. Greetings from Castlemaine Victoria Australia

Thank you Jeff your tip on the needle threader helped me to get mine working ☺️

Thank you! My light was off! I followed your instructions and now it’s on again. 💕💕

Jeff, thank you so much......I had an unresponsive screen, and you fixed it. The stylus page had been up and I messed with it and didn’t realise it would turn off the touch screen......thank you so much. Amazing!

Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I learned so much. especially love the oiling method and use of the wonder clip.

Thank you so much, I have so much trouble trying to seat my hook after cleaning and oiling. From now on I will use your method. Also the wonder clip idea solves another issue I have.

Thanks so much for all these tips!

Absolutely brilliant video, the tips are great and you explain so clearly. Thank you so much for doing this.

Thanks so much, Jeff. Your videos are fantastic!!

Wonderful video! Just got B770 Plus and your tips have saved the day for me! Thanks “sew” much!

Aloha, As a new sewer and newly gifted Bernina 570QE you saved me from a disaster thread issue with this episode! I already broke a needle 😬not sure where it went but I found a bunch of crazy thread ball I took out 😆thanks to this video. 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Thank you for the great tips and simple instructions...

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for your video. I love my Bernina.I learned 3 things to improve my machine’s performance. 😀

Thank you. This was such a helpful video.

Watching your video has renewed my sense of hope using my 770 QE….and enjoying it. I have several Bernina’s but this one has given me so much grief. Like all the others so appreciate your time and expertise and by far best videos I have seen for Bernina, thank you!

Thank you. Haven’t used my Bernina for a couple of years. Bought a Juki and love it, but am coming back to my Bernina 780.

I love this guy! Thanks for such straightforward presentations!

Ik had de Bernina 710 en sinds vorige week de nieuwe 735, maar altijd heb ik gedoe gehad met het bobbinhuis ik kreeg het er moeilijk in, maar met jou uitleg van six o clock moet het gaan lukken. Dank je wel van uit Nederland.

My mom had the Bernina store in Grand Junction in the late 70's and early 80's. Broke her heart to give it up during the great depression of Mesa county. Naturally her machine was a 930 and it is now mine (she passed in 2016)

So very helpful tutorial! Saves me time and educated me in so much things!

Thank you so much. I learned a lot and an so grateful for your time.

So grateful for your insight, Jeff! I was freaking out...my dealer's waiting list for repairs is huge. Thanks for helping to get my 475 QE up and running again!

Thank you so much Jeff. I’ve just had the blue screen of death after a clean and realised that I didn’t put the bobbin back in properly. Your video was my saviour. Thank you again.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching

You are Awesome! With your help, I just threaded my machine using the needle threader three times ( not in a row) but nevertheless three times. Prior to your video I had been threading manually! Additionally, you helped me solve a problem with my feed dogs. Apparently, I must not have had the single-stitch plate properly snapped in place. I can't thank you enough.

So glad you popped up in RU-vid today. So helpful. I subscribed.

Thank you so much Jeff you're my best friend when I have any problems with my Bernina ❤❤

These tips are so helpful! Thank you for creating these videos!

I got my new 770 during Covid so couldn't take advantage of any classes. I am ever so grateful to Bernina Jeff for helping me get acquainted with my machine! You have helped me with the deep learning curve SO much..........waaaay better than the manual!

I love that cutter/holder. I got one from you and it's been a real help on my 790.

You have helped me so much. I really appreciate these videos. Thank you.

Thank you very much these tips are sooooooooo helpfull. I will be watching you always.

Thank you for this video. It answered sooo many questions.

Thank you so much for the 14 tips! Very clear and throughly explained😊

WOW…LOT OF stuff to remember…..I own the 570QE…and so far LOVE it….

Jeff, I know this is an old video, so I am not sure whether you will read it. But (!)… I MUST send you a thousand thanks for all your tips and work. I watched your video regarding oiling the different kinds of the Berninas as I had the one which was difficult to oil. You saved my life ( or at least many hours to drive to the mechanist). I am now the owner of a 740 and are watching all your videos. Of course I subscribed as you are brilliant in explaining even the smallest details of these machines. A really great job for what I cannot thank you enough. As soon as this pandemic is over and we can travel again to the states I will be happy to buy your oil and some other parts your are recommending. I hope you are doing fine. Take care and accept my deepest thanks. ( and…, please excuse any mistakes in my writing, I am not a native English speaker). Whish you many more subscribers! Your videos are worth it! Greetings from Europe.💕

Loved the tips thank you

So appreciative of these HowTo’s videos. I am lucky to have an expert Bernina Technician but he is a 2 hour drive away. I’m please to see my regular machine maintenance covers most of your tips but the ones I didn’t know will now be added. And I will stop pulling my thread out backwards (that darn Scottish blood) . Keep the videos coming. From Vancouver Island, B.C. CANADA

Excellent work around advice for a new Bernina owner! Thank you.

So very helpful. Thank you and God bless you 👍

can you please do a video like this for the 830 I feel like my machine isn’t like any of this. It has me so lost . God bless you for teach everyone this stuff. I will be purchasing some items u have named soon .

Thank you so much for your tips. Extremely helpful!

Thanks Jeff, you’re a god send!

Fantastic channel, lifesaving tips - I really managed to shake away my ‘fear of the machine’ with your videos - I don’t only enjoy sewing with the thing, but taking care of the creature itself - THANKS!!

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks these videos are the best!

Thank you so much.... I have been stuck for two days with my machine (780 series, showed a problem with the hook system) and it turned out to be a small small piece of lint in the hook system that I only found after the "sweep" step in the video under maintenance...... I love this man !!!!!

Thank you so much for all your expert information!

Jeff..... thank you AGAIN for ALL you teach us and have for sale also :) Happy Holidays

Thank you Jeff. I bought my B770QE E thinking I made a purchase I shouldn't have. These are s finicky to me compared to my older Bernina. I really like the way you showed how to put the bobbin in the race. Now it's not a 50/50 chance I get the race in. It goes in all the time the first time. Love the fact can oil the race from the top!! I do alot of quilting. Didn't like hearing about the knobs wearing out but I like using the touch screen anyway best.

Awesome video, Iv used the bobbin release trick many times, thankyou so much

Jeff! Where have you been all my Bernina 770 life!! The first year I had this machine I thought I made a mistake. I'm in to year three now and it's getting better. Putting the bobbin case back after oiling has been the MOST frustrating experience. I'm eager to try the cradle method. And my threader episodes have also been annoying. I have GLADLY hit Subscribe so I can continue my sewing projects with confidence that miner machine issues won't make me pull the rest of my hair out!! Hugs and kisses you sweet man!!

Thank you Jeff. I learned some new stuff today. I have a QE 440

This are some invaluable lessons. Thank you so much!!!

omg!!!! I thought I had a crazy thread lost in my machine due to a thread catcher cleaning issue and my screen wasn't responding. All I could think of was the hefty service charge I was going to have to pay or the expensive paper weight I owned. I must have taken the screen off line and needed to recalibrate. Holding down the needle left and right while rebooting fixed my issue!!! Thanks so much Jeff. I can't believe that worked. This video taught me so much about the inner workings of my machine. I wish when I bought it I had watched this video first.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge👍

Thanks so much! This is very helpful.
