I can’t thank you enough for this video. I have had my 770QE for over five years and have never figured out the perfect way to chain piece until watching you and your explanation. I look forward to learning more you. Right now I’m heading to my machine to do some chain piecing.👏
Awesome details about the 97D foot and chain piecing. I just got my first Bernina last week and your tutorial gave me info I can't find in the manual. So informative. Thank you for the all the hints and details to do better piecing.
Just found you and really enjoyed your lessons!! I too have a 770QE. a few years ago, forgot half of what the dealership showed me. So to find you and follow you I refreshed my memory. Thank you!!
So thorough. I too have a Bernina 710B series. She has so many buttons and selections that I had no idea about until I came across this tutorial. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this information. Just bought my Bernina B 880 three months ago and want to learn all the tricks to make quality sewing projects. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more RU-vid videos.
Thank you thank you thank you! I am doing a quilt with small 2 1/2 squares. I have a 97d foot and I happened on you tutorial. Wow ! I have a Bernina 570 QE so that stitch is 1301.. Thank you again
FYI ….until you are able to add the upgrade to the 770+ you still need to tell the machine which foot you are using. It will not change on the basic 770 screen but the machine still needs this information and it is a safety feature also. Thank you for your take on chain piecing!
I have not heard that anywhere else. But it sounds correct and I will start doing that and looking into it further. I am all into safety and ergonomics. Thank you for the information 😀
I got the upgrade to my 770+ but I still have to tell the machine what foot I have on the machine. In fact, when I change feet, it won’t sew till I tell it what foot I have on it.
Wow, I wish I knew about your video sooner . Thank you. I loved your tips; I almost gave up on my Bernina 7 series machine because I had difficulty getting accurse 1/4 inch seams. I bought a Juki straight stich and love it. But, after viewing this video, I am going back to my Bernina and trying out these tips .Thank you !!
New to Bernina and appreciate your video so much. My machine arrives next week. Oh the anticipation! I’m looking forward to the quiet operation. Your quilting tips and machine operations are the best. My favorite machine for piecing at the moment is my 1952 Singer featherweight. Hugs 🤗 Helen
I just purchased a B710. Your tutorial was very informative, I enjoyed it very much. I did not know about the details of the stitch functions. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us newbies! You are awesome!😍👍👍
Thank you so much for this video...It's the best I seen so far you explanation is & showing us was perfect. again thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Thank you "sew" much for the great video. Your camera work was so nice and close. I use that stitch quite a lot but I didn't know about pressing the triangle with the line to go to the beginning of stitch, I just usually hit the 1324. Again, thank you!!
The stitch I am using is 1324 in my b770. Sorry if I said the wrong stitch. If you are using a different Bernina, make sure you press on the quilting icon to the right of the screen. Look for the stitch which has tiny stitches at the beginning and at the end.
This was great, thank you. Do you have a video chain piecing blocks together and what to set the program at to go over seems. I'm struggling with this right now, it wants to jam up and get off my 1/4" line.
Thank you for that! I have an issue with my last little bit of fabric veering off and therefore it loses the 1/4”. Any suggestions? I try to hold it with my stylus, but doesn’t always work, so I pick it out and try it again…slow process!
I use the Bernina machine oil. That way I know it is the correct type. You have a high end machine and you want to use high end products to keep it in good condition.
Have you ever had trouble sewing precut half square triangles together with your Bernina? I had trouble with the seams curving when I did it on my Bernina.Thank goodness I kept my older Babylock machine.
Wonderful tips. I just bought a new 570 QE and am looking forward to using the 1324 stitch. I plan to save the stitch length to 2.0 also. I’m wondering how the machine knows not to put those small securing stitches in the middle of my piece when I stop sewing to readjust the fabric. Does it have to do with pushing the reverse button? I love the knee lift, so I’m not sure how the hover would help me. Maybe sometime I’ll find it useful.
I just got the BERNINA 770QE Plus. If this is a quilting machine, I am wondering why BERNINA didn’t include the piecing foot? Also, how are you able to use that guide when, if sewing 1/4” seam, it lands right on the feed dogs?
I am working on the next video right now. It is going to be on applying binding. It is in several parts. I do all the filming and editing myself. Except for once in a while my husband will film too. So it takes a bit more time.
At the risk of asking a stupid question I’ll ask. I am new to sewing. Are you pressing the pattern begin between each piece (the start of sewing two new pieces). I hope to master this machine one day…I appreciate your time in making content.
If you press the reverse to sew the short stitches at the end of a piece, the machine "re-sets" so it will start over again with the short stitches when you start to sew.
Practice on a scrap piece of fabric. Sew then press the reverse button then let the machine finish and then begin again. That way you can get a feel for what the machine is doing. Once you get use to it, it will flow.
Thanks… I learned a lot… are you using a knee lift?? Can I only make it hover with the needle down? Loving this machine 😊 and your video is making that happen because if I don’t know how to use a really great machine well… 🤷🏻♀️ no fun…
I recently got the 770QE Plus. I am trying to get the perfect 1/4” seam allowance. I noticed you took that guide and placed it right on top of the feed dogs. Does this harm the machine in any way? TIA
I hope to do a video just on that subject. In the meantime I will explain. If you turn over the seam gauge you will see a cut out line. When you turn it over and put it on the machine notice it goes directly over the feed dogs. In other words Bernina created a space directly over the feed dogs and they will move without touching the gauge. I hope this helps.
enjoyed the video my only problem is my is my stitch 1326 doesn't look r do what u r doing????? have a Bernina 770 addition plus and this is my first bernina so I'm alot lost anyone out their please help thank you
I think when the camera turns on I seem to make mistakes which I don't normally make, LOL. The stitch is 1324 on my b770. However if it is not the same on every machine, Here is how you find it. Go to the right side of the screen and press on the icon which represents the quilting section. Find the stitch which is tiny little stitches at the beginning and at the end. That should be the same stitch. share.icloud.com/photos/043tvXB6AIAvkyJbAdzdEfMgA
Yep I my sewing machine it is 1324. sorry about the. What is important is, the stitch is in the quilting icon and it does tiny stitches at the beginning and the end after pressing the flashing icon to finish the stitch.
Thank you so much. I bought my 770QE when my local dealer was going out of business and it sat unused for 2 years because I had no training. Lately I’ve been getting my training on RU-vid and started a quilt. I just found your RU-vid channel and this episode was so well done and in-depth. I subscribed and am looking forward to watching more.
