BERNINA Combination Mode: Lettering 

My motto is why do it by hand when I paid so much for the machine.😉 there are those times when it’s unfortunately necessary…great video, clear instructions, love the humor. I’m ready to try combi mode! I’ve gotten into it by accident and couldn’t get out. So frustrating. Now I think I get it! Thanks.

Your video on this is better than the book and every other RU-vid. Thanks again. I just saved my label

I wanted to say how much I very much appreciate you and your videos. I watch a lot of them. I love your enthusiasm! You have taught me a lot about my Bernina. I am super new to sewing and went all in on the Bernina. I am just learning to sew and bought a 590 and have been thrilled with it, but don’t know how to use it. You have great video as and if I ever get out to Naperville, Illinois am coming to visit! I live in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks again for doing these great videos.

Gail, you are so cute, I love watching your tutorials. It's like medicine for my soul. Keep up the good humour.

From where I'm sitting, your hand sewing looks pretty darn good. And I am a (self-proclaimed) hand sewing expert. Love your videos 💖

Thank you so much! I have tried and cried with trying to do the lettering for quilt labels and other. This helps me so much!

This was a great tutorial. Thank you! And just so you know, you aren’t the only one who hates hand sewing.

OMG!! This is one of the best tutorials on using the machine I’ve seen. I’ve had my 765 for a few years but was never told how this was done. Yes, I could have gone to the manual but who has the time. I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much.

Thanks. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

I love watching all of these videos! I return to them often as I’m still learning ! But the hand sewing! I’m only getting better at that because of epp! Thanks!!

Thank you so much. Your explanations were precise and easy to follow. I especially love the ability to be able to slow you down a little bit so that I could follow step-by-step. I finally feel confident enough to tackle labels.

The thimble works best on your middle finger! I’ve used one for years!

I have been looking for just this instruction video to learn how to use my 570QE. Thank you! Thank you!

Another clear, relevant and watchable video - thank you, Gail

Oh this is so neat! I needed a new machine when my Janome literally died on me while quilting so I did find a really nice one on eBay, used, but new for me. I'm still learning about it. At the moment I can't think of the one I have but these videos will help learning more of what my machine can do. Thank you.

I was grateful of this you tube wanted to sew Happy Birthday on my sisters birthday. Thank you your videos are brilliant. 😊

Really enjoy your video. Great explanation of how to use the combo mode. I have struggled with this and now that you have shown how to do it I feel more confident. Thank you.

Not only educational, but fun! You have it! Thanks.

Thank you luv all your quilting tutorials 💓

Hi Gayle, this is Linda. I appreciate all your videos. This was a good one. I'm learning Berninas at work and was too intimidated by them, until they offered me to take a B570 qe home to practice on it. OMG!!! I'm so in love with this machine. Your videos are great and so helpful. Thank you for your quirkiness, love it.

I really enjoyed this tutorial! Thank you❤️

Great video! Thanks Gayle❤️

Fantastic tutorial - I have learnt so much and very easy to follow your instructions.

Thank you. I haven’t tried lettering on my machine but will try this with your video at my side! Wonderful..

Excellent info. You always do a great job explaining things

You have taught me SO many things in your videos!!!!

As usual, lov;e your tutorial, even your hand sewing. I don't know of many people that do like it when we have these machines that do almost everything for us. BTW, you're just too cute.

Thanks for the great information!

I just found your channel. This was my first video to watch. I thought your hand sewing was perfect. I hate hand sewing too. I'm a Husqvarna Viking baby and it's fun to see how other machines program. 30 years + sewer/tailor. Not a big quilter but I love heirloom clothing and there are so many hand look stitches that can be reproduced by the machine. When I have to hand sew running my thread through a bounce dryer sheet really cuts down on the tangling. But seeing you sew with silk thread I think I'll have to try it.

Thanks so much for clarifying what the user manual explains.

Thank you. Sorted all the steps out for me after I experimented last week and became vague with the manual open in front of me. Keep looking beautiful, Beautiful

Thanks for the tutorials!

A very helpful video Gayle, just as others have been for me. Thank you! I am now a subscriber to your channel.

Great information

I have tried lettering and was confused. Thanks for the tutorial. It was helpful.

Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!!

I can’t thank you enough for this tutorial! I have tried SO many times to use the combination mode on my 770 to do the lettering! I just installed my plus upgrade last week an am experimenting with the cool triple stitch. So much fun! Would you consider making more instructional videos on the 770 QE’s upgrade? Like the embroidery?

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you .

Thank you soooo much!!! 😊

I found that when making labels on my 750QE machine that it often changed the font sizes from one line to the next, which really spoiled the look of my labels. I struggled with this a long time, but realised that rows of writing with ‘descenders’ - like ‘This quilt was’ etc then the font size was small, but without ‘descenders’ - like ‘November 2021’ then the font was huge. Now I add a space at the end of the words I’m writing and add a ‘g’. Since I started doing this my labels are much better - no change of font size 👍👍 🇬🇧

I can make the labels by machine ok, it’s the sewing them on only. I don’t like the way they look with my hand stitching. 🥴 But, I love the machine stitching so much better. Having severe inflammatory arthritis makes it difficult, sometimes. So I’ll stick with my machine labels 🥰. The labels are ok, I just like sewing by machine much better. Have a great day Gayle!

I have recently purchased a 570 QE and am trying to learn how to make labels

Excellent video. Two questions. You mentioned that you prefer your 20D. Until my budget allows, I have a 1D and a 20C for my 570QE. Which is better the the openness of 20C or the dual feed feature of the 1D? Also what is your preference for needle type on the cotton linen/quilting cotton: do you use an embroidery needle, Bernina universal or other? I am making labels for my neighbor who makes quilts. Thank you!

Hi guys! Your videos have been so helpful, I’m new to the Bernina machines. I have a Bernette B79, I use the fonts for my garment labels, works great but is there any way to edit the width between the letters? I feel like there’s a lot of space between each letter when I’m sewing. Any advice would be awesome! 🙌🏻

Is it possible to make the stitch wider? I want the words to be taller. I have a Bernina 535.

I need this tutorial for my Bernette!!!!!!

Does the 880 have the same instructions?

I’m doing as you directed have put my name in but it shows a blue line only

I do not have a 1D foot however I do have a 20C which looks the same as the 1D. My machine is giving me an error and telling me the foot I have on the machine is a 1C which it is not. Is there a way for me to tell my machine the actual foot that is on the machine. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello! I'm trying to make 2 words with a space in between but I don't see any instructions for that. Can you help? Tks, SK

I have the 770QE Plus but I don't seem to have the counter you have on yours telling you how many letter you have, is there something I've done wrong please?

hi are using a mouse for clicking the touch screen ???

Can I use my 39 foot or my 20 C foot if I don’t have a 97d foot?

This is so helpful. How do I insert a space between two words?

Does the 820 as well

How to go from 5.5m to 9 mm?

Mines not working right. I have broken 2 needles.
