How to Thread a Bernina Sewing Machine 

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Definitely the best tutorial on threading a Bernina that I could find. Now I can move forward on my sewing journey.

Thank you so much! Just received a new to me used machine from my Mother-in-Law!❤

I’m currently in a high school textiles class and I’m so confused, so I’m watching this lol.

Super helpful thank you! Just picked up a Bernina at an estate sale!

Very helpful. Used this video to help wife with threading issue on a Bernina 135 Activa

Thank you, you saved my life. A beautiful woman who can sew - we need more of you!! 😊

Thanks so much! Haven’t touched a sewing machine in about 20 years and this will be verrrrry helpful as I endeavour to set up my Mum’s Bernina.

Bless you heart. Best tutorial out there, hands down. Thank you for taking the time. You're helping people 6 years later😁

liked the fact I could 'see' the close up step by step set up! Thanks!!

I purchased a Bernina Aurora 430 maching and shortly thereafter, moved. I have never felt comfortable/confident in using my Bernina and was glad to find your video. Thank you. I'm hoping I'll be able to watch more videos and find some classes.

Was super clear and helpful! Watched a different video and couldn’t quite understand where the thread was supoosed to be going but with this i got it!

thnank youuuuu. i tried so many vids, but htis was the best one

I have not used my machine in years and I forgot how to do that take up lever. Thank you .

You explained it to me like I was 8 but you got me there and I appreciate you for that. Thank you, friend

I have struggled to thread my machine for ages until I came across this video.Thanks to you I can sew again!

Finally a complete video on how to thread the bernina. I watched other treads that just show how to spool the bobbin or how to put it in the case

Thank you very much for your tutorial. You make it very eas and understandable. Excellent.

Ugh!! The most helpful video! My manual was NOT going into enough detail. THANK YOU! Please make more. ❤️👍🏻

OMG I inherited my moms machine and just discovered the needle threader! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for this! I've got my moms machine, but she's no longer here to teach me to use it, and I am ready to learn! Thanks for getting me started!

First utube video I've seen that I actually can follow and understand what she is talking about. Thanks so much!

I tried this without watching a video and I completely forgot a step. This was super helpful! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Watched this tutorial and was up in running in 5 minutes. ❤️

Thanks for such a great step by step explanation, and close ups on how to thread the machine, and how to use the automatic needle threader!

This is such an amazing video!!! I've checked all over RU-vid for half an hour and read the bernina instruction hand book thing and I couldn't find nothing till I found this video!!! Thank you 😉

Thank you for providing such clear and up-close video. I don’t have great eye-sight, and it makes such a difference!

Best video on RU-vid for this subject! Thank you for the excellent close ups and thorough instructions!

This video is going to help me so much! My MIL is having memory challenges now and I’m having to teach my FIL. The book isn’t helping so I’m going to save this for them! I even learned some things about the gadgets on this machine and possibly my bernina! Again Thank You! 🙏👏🏻

Really appreciated your video. I purchased my Bernina Bernette 65 probably 6 or more years ago and before I had a chance to even break it out of the box, I was hospitalized and had to have lung surgery. I am just now, believe it or not setting up my machine. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you.

Awesome video!! Thank you so much. It had been 15 years since I was able to use my Bernina because of many life changes. I was so excited to get it back and start sewing again but I could NOT get it threaded! You saved me! Now if I could just figure out if it is making too much noise when I sew LOL. Make more videos girl-you saved my sanity!!

Thank you so, so much. Showed so much detail with clear explanation.

This was terrific. Thank you!!

Hi informative and friendly I should thank you, it looks simple gives me confidence I can do it

Easy to follow! Got it all first time!

That was excellent! So clearly explained and visually demonstrated.Thank you!

Well done with the explanation.

Very helping darling ...I was having a big problem thanks..God bless you

Thanks. You did Bernina proud with this vid. Excellent! I so appreciate no competing music or other customers talking, etc. You let me focus on some wonderful close-ups and simple narration. (PS-I rarely take time to send kudos but you deserve this). Do you have a list of other vids that you have made? Thanks

Thank you! This was detailed enough for me to find where I went wrong

Super super helpful! Thank you!

That was very helpful ! Thank you so much 🙂

great video, thanks hope your cold is better

Nice job. Brief and to the point but with tons of great close ups and good info. I got it right first try while watching video. Thank you :)

Very helpful - thanks!

This was so freaking helpful

I'm still trying to use the auto threader. If the rest of the tutorials are as good as this one this will be fun!!

This was so helpful thank you

Thank you so much for your tutorial, exactly what I needed. Very well done! Truly amazing👍❤️

Amazing video! I have been wanting to make something similar for my high school students. I think I will just show them your :-)

Thank you, very clear and understandible even for foreigner (Russian)

Thank you for this video!!!!!!

Omg this helped me so much

my vision is not the greatest and the close ups let me clarify what I could not see on other videos PERFECT!

helped me alot thanks

Diddo on what philisophe said. EXCELENT!! INSTRUCTIONS.

good video, remember to mention that to use the auto needle threader to put the presser foot in the down position, someone may not know that.

I so needed this. I have a machine that sits idle and I forget so much!

Hi.. I just found your video about threading the Bernina 430. First of all, great job! Truly, your pictures were awesome.. better than Bernina..I have had my 440 QE, for quite a few years now. Since 2006. Just now, after all these years and many many stitches later, I am having tension issues.. did you ever do a video about tension for this machine? I am trying to avoid taking it in, but maybe it's just time. Thanks for listening. Kate.

super epic!!!

Omg thank you -I got rusty there

I am a teacher and this is wonderful to use in a class of 30+ students. One suggestion. The camera wiggles a lot. But the teaching is great.

Thank you so much for this video. I believe something I’m doing is still wrong however, because the part that holds the bobbin case keeps falling out. How do I put that back in correctly? Everytime I start to sew it all falls apart.

Loved the threading tutorial, but cannot figure out how to attach the spool holder to the body of the machine. There is a tiny metal piece that secures it. Can you tell us about this? Thanks so much.

With my machine it is recommended to have the pressure foot raised. It will separate the tension disk and thread tension will work easier.

Would like to know purpose of finger on bobbin case if you do not thread through the small hole in its end.

Do older sewing machines of a same maker tend to thread the same? Or... maybe I should have worded it ... do makers tend to have most or all of their sewing machine models over the years tend to thread the same? And could you use this to figure out how to thread older models by using a younger model's instructions? Thanks.

Do you know of any good tutorials on the activa 135? You have the best tutorial I've seen but when it comes to the lay step of threading the needle, I see no lever

Hello - the tread broke and when I pulled it from the top of the machine - it broke inside the machine. Can you show me what to do to get the thread out? thanks

Ok when you di this is the pressure for up? Needle up? No.one says that

what is going on in the back of the machine! okay I have the thread on the spool does the thread come off the back or front? Where do I go next? I despise the machine.

Excellente vision pour savoir le faire correctement, ces très petit ,sur la machine , et plus des yeux de 20 ans

I need some help mine failed to work can't remember what buttons I pressed 😞😰

Ha! Wait until you're my age. You'll want that dang automatic threader, and maybe several pairs of reading glasses because you can't thread a needle without them unless your arms are extremely long!

love the close ups.... so wish you had gone just a tad farther to show exactly how to get both threads to the back. I am thinking the lower thread just comes up and goes along the plate to the back and the upper thread goes into the notch and goes back. The book is not too clear. Everything else you did make up for Bernina's lack of clarity. Many thinks!!!

We know these tips in school we have bernina

did not work

This automatic needle threader is complete bullshit. It makes things even more difficult and takes more time than just using your hand and a well-cut thread.

Thank you so much! Very helpful!
