BERNINA Perfect Patchwork Seams 

I love those pins. I never knew they made them

Gayle - I just want you to know how wonderful you are at these videos. I watch all your videos and I learn so much. You are very detailed and you always add tips/comments that most others forget to mention. Your experience and passion shine!

Gayle, found you on Facebook about 2wks ago. I love your videos. They are so informative and easy to follow. I live in Texas. Wish you were here. I would take every class & be in every club‼️

I just happened on to your videos and soooo glad I did. I bought my machine at Quilt Con in 2020 and needless to say right after that the whole country shut down. So I didn't get any help with getting started with a Bernina (past Pfaff user) until I found your videos. Keep up the good work and you have a viewer for life!!

Awesome Gayle, always good to revisit the basics, you learn something new :)

This is such a great video! Love the new terms. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!

Love your content as well as your personality. Thank you

I'm still learning...thanks Gayle! Great advice.

Love your videos...they are very helpful! Thank you!

I love your teaching approach, and I love those fork pins!!

Your so knowledgeable and fun to watch.😊

Thank you. It has been very informative as I am considering updating my old Bernina for a new one.

You are such a patient teacher. I have learned so much with this video!

What a fun video Gail! I’m having fun collecting feet for my new Bernina 880 Plus. Great description of the feet! Adorable quilt block too.

Thank you! Great video and very informative and taught very well.

I have a 780 and just received my 97D foot. Can't wait to use it! Thanks for all your tips.

Great tips for the extra places to find 1/4" seam guides, on the Stitch plate, notches on the feet. Love watching your videos....(cleaning isn't my fave either---too many other fun things to do).

Another wonderful video packed full of information. Thank you. I have those pins but haven’t mastered using them yet. Remember.....”A clean house is the sign of a broken sewing machine” ♥️🤣✂️🧵♥️

Great demo!

Love the pins, never seen them. Hope the machines are not as noisy as they come across in the video. Thanks Gayle, I like your natural and normal way of teaching and talking into the camera. Has made me feel more at ease about trying some more of what I thought were complicated quilting techniques. HATH

Good info, easy to understand

Thanks! That was super helpful

So clear and fun! I’m going to find those pins😊

Love it - thanks!

You inspire me wi th your work!

Very helpful!

What a fun video. I love your videos. You are always so sweet and positive. Wish I could buy a machine with you.

Thanks so much

37D is my go to.

i love your videos and your sense of humor. In all the sewing years with Bernina machines, I never knew about the tick marks on the side of the pressure feet. Cleaning my house isn't my FAV, but someone has to do with 2 german shepherds at hand. I learn so much from your videos. Never got the type of training that you provide here in your videos.

I have a Bernina B530. It is my favorite machine to piece with. My machine is not so smart that it overrides what I prefer to do: I piece with #57 foot + straight stitch plate + 1 needle click to the right for a perfect scant. If my machine were smarter, it would sense the plate and not allow this. I have plenty of room on both the foot and the stitch plate...could even go one more click over, but don't need to. The gated foot is an MVP for me. It also works great when sewing HST's...the gate sits out in front and allows you to follow the line so easily.

Wow, I've been doing the "floppy doppy and snuggle butt" for decades and never realized there was a name for those! And, I use the #37 with the seam guide butted up against it, move the needle over one space, then I get my perfect quarter inch seam (I use a Bernina Artista 180)

If I ever take up patchwork or quilting I will remembr ghese instructions and feet. I inherited a 1970 vintage 730 Record a few years ago and it is the quietest machine I own. I have still to use many of the feet it came with. lol

Hi, just recently found your channel and I love your enthusiasm! One thing I didn't quite understand...I notice you do not use leaders. When you say to line up the fabric at the mark on the foot. Is that the where your seam will begin? Not sure what you meant. I have the B550 QE and I always have to use leaders or I will get a thread nest. Maybe the more expensive machines don't have that problem?? Thanks for any suggestions. I enjoy your videos and learn a lot!!

Thanks for the detailed information you are sharing with us. I bought my machine during Just before Covid hit us, so I was not able to take any new sewing machine lessons. I have a 790B and I love it. I am wondering what stitch plate you are using, and what does it matter what one you use? When I do my piecing like you are doing here I use the single needle hole, instead of the oblong one.

Hi Gayle, thanks for the great tutorial!! I just bought my 770 QE plus and it came with the 97D patchwork foot. Can wait to try it out. Are you using the straight stitch plate too?

Hi Gayle, just found your videos! Us 770 owners are having problems with the 1/4" seam. I am using the 97D with the side guide and I am getting less than 1/4" seam. It seems to me that the fabric is getting scewed as it goes through the machine. I wonder what stitch you are using? I use the no. 1.

if there is anybody else who could answer my question or any other idea i would love to hear from you Junanne

I read your comment about the table you are using. Thank you! Do you have a recommendation for a table that have the same abilities as that table. I have very limited space to sew, but would like to have something different than a folding table from Sam's Warehouse. 😉👍

Since my B 770QE does not recognize which foot I have on, should I just buy the plain 57 not the 57D? (is the D is more $)

What table do you have your sewing machine in?

I have a 150 Quilters Edition. Can you tell me some good stuff about this work horse?

Hello Gayle I have often wondered how to use the diagonal markings on the needle plate can you do a video on it please thanks junanne

I love your videos, I just purchased my first Bernini, a 790 crystal edition, haven’t used yet, got yesterday. I am learning watching your videos, can’t stop watching. I have a question, where can I find the magic pins (in the coffin) that you use for butting please, I tried to find them on line “butt” no luck. Thanks

I own a B570QE and was thrilled to just find your channel and especially this video. I have all of the feet you demonstrated, but sometimes my seam just doesn't want to stay at 1/4". I start out fine at the top of my strip but once the end of the strip approaches the foot, the strip tends to veer off, most of the time to the left, leaving me with a 1/4" seam at the top of the strip and 1/8" crooked seam at the bottom of the strip. I have tried the seam attachment that butts up against the foot, guide tape, the lines on the table...you name it. Do you have any other suggestions for me to sew a consistently straight 1/4" seam? Thank you so much.

I would also love to know what your settings are for your cutter. Mine seems to take longer & I hear more processing on my machine. I have a Bernina 770 QE.

Who makes the black table in the background? It would fit nicely in my small sewing area. Thanks from NY.

What kind of iron is that?

What kind of table are you using? It looks like it fits the Bernina table into a flat surface

What table are you using?

Hello Gayle; I would love love love the table that you use on this video, it seems like you drop machine in and still be able to use extension of machine Can you telll me the make I am from Cheshire in the heart of uk love Junanne

Hai r we get all these foots with b700

1/4” has always been a problem for me. 🤞

I always thought it was called nesting….

When my Bernina 830 sounds like yours, I clean and oil. Just saying.

I love your videos and you are great but that 770qe needs oiling...lol
