    Here are some of the most observed problems I have seen over the many years when helping customers on their BERNINA machines. Some of these issues you may have never had a problem with but many people have. So here I figured if I were to bring up these issues that people have encountered maybe it will help people avoid these issues or help them through it. :)
    Here is the typed up list mentioned in the video.

    Cody, I love how organized and well-spoken you are. Well done. This hit the nail on the head for a number of issues I have had. Thanks for the clarity and keep up the good work. I also loved the video showing your beautiful goats and the lovely quilt you made to show binding. Lovely colors and workmanship. Very inspiring. I can't say enough good things. Somebody stop me! Take care and be happy.

I had watched several and was convinced you had a squeaky chair and each time you moved, it squeaked! Well, I was surprised to see Pete in this video and now it all makes sense. I was about ready to start a collection to get you a new chair!! :)

    Thankyou so much, Cody. Today was my first day home alone with my Bernina 770 and I had many of the issues you have mentioned. I put it down to a learning curve and was as gentle as I could be in removing my birds nests from underneath my fabric. I have taken all your valuable knowledge on board and will start afresh tomorrow with less problems I'm sure.

    Not sure if you have covered this topic previously, but I need to know how to predict or calculate how many decorative stitch units to fit on a given length. Like for a border.
    I get a lot of education and new ideas from your videos. You're a very good teacher when you give such practical advice and demonstrations.
    I have a Bernina 765. I make mostly quilts, but also make placemats, masks, bowl cozies, mug rugs and other household items.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the great info. You hit all the problems I've had. One FYI, my Bernina instructor said to be careful when transporting your machine. The buttons on the front of the machine are fragile and can be knocked off if you bump them. I can't wait to go to in person classes again.

    It is so very nice to meet you Pete! Guilty as charged 🙋🏻‍♀️for calling my Bernina dealer in a panic only to learn my bobbin winder was engaged. 😂. All great tips and a comment. Manual bobbin thread cutter inside bobbin case on my 350 was razor sharp. It’s dull and crappy on my new 475. Such a tiny thing to be bummed out about but it’s an important one and disappointing for a new machine of this caliber and expense. Keep up the great work Cody. We appreciate you! ❤️🌵🇺🇸

What brands of thread would you consider "Good" thread? I'm currently using Gutermann and Aurifil. I used to use Coates and Clark until I was told it's bad for the machines. By the way, I love Pete, he's so cute!

    I have a new Bernina 335. I am using it for free machine embroidery using the special darning foot, material tight in a hoop. I have done a few samples successfully. Suddenly the bobbin thread started to show too much - eyelashing. I rethread both the top and bottom threads. I changed both threads. I decreased the top tension - Going as far as zero. I cleaned the bottom bobbin area. I tested on normal calico material with normal straight stitch and its like it is doing light gathering. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Could you suggest what else I could try?

    And yet another issue…… really big rats nest of top thread on the backside. Let me ask this also, I’ve had tension issues. Is it weird to have to set top tension back to 1.75? That seems to be where I’m not getting bobbin thread showing on the top. But I wonder if it’s a little too loose and possibly causing the nesting catastrophe on the back. Thank you very much. BTW I have a deco 70 machine just purchased 1/22.

But making cording requires the needle to be very close to the cord so I use the 4D zipper foot. What am I doing wrong?

  • @MrFloydroy
    @MrFloydroy Год назад

    Regarding skipped stitches, also check the presser foot for damage, especially the 34d clear sole foot. Thread wears into the clear foot sole after extensive sewing and causes skipped stitches. Perhaps this problem is exacerbated from gutterman or metallic thread. Fortunately, the foot soles are easily replaceable.

    • @sewingwithcodyandpete8651
      @sewingwithcodyandpete8651  Год назад

      Yes all current model bernina machines can have the screen calibrated. Before you turn on the machine hold down both needle position buttons "located under the stitch width and length knobs" then turn the machine on.. Make sure you are still holding down needle position buttons and when the machine boots up and the screen turns solid white, then you can let go. Now you will see a little circle appear use your stylus and click the center of the circle, it will then appear two more times in two different locations. Now your screen has been recalibrated. :)

    Help!! Bernette B70. Lets say I have black thread on top and white bobbin thread. When I embroider, the white bobbin thread is on the TOP and bottom. I have changed needles, threaded and rethreaded, decreased top tension, using bobbin thread. Its making me CRAZY!!! Please help. Thanks

    • @sewingwithcodyandpete8651
      @sewingwithcodyandpete8651  2 года назад

      This can be tricky to diagnose without having g the machine in front of me but it could be a couple of things.
      1 something is wrong with the upper tension and it’s not release and is too tight so it’s pulling up the bobbin thread. Butttt you mentioned you decreased the top thread tension and still is the same so that most likely isn’t the issue but still a small possibility.
      2 the bobbin case isn’t getting thread just right so not getting enough tension. We see this to be the case 8/10 times with customers with this and similar machines.
      3. The bobbin case’s tensioner is broken so it’s able to apply the correct tension.
      Okay he only case where nothing is technically wrong is when we see customers decrease a small design so small that the bobbin thread is too thick to just stay on the bottom and is forced to show itself on the top. We see this a lot with thin fonts. So the only way to fix the issue if that’s the case is to use a very thin bobbin thread like “decobob” by Wonderfil threads.
      Hope this helps
