Boy…wish I lived near you..I’m in Michigan..I’d be giving you all my business and take every class you offered..you are a excellent teacher..thank you soooo much for your videos…💖
Me too!!
I had no idea that tension discs could be cleaned till a few months ago, cleaned with dental floss and works well now.
I love your visual demonstration prop to help me understand the tension mechanism.
Thank Bernina Jeff out today and VOTE for his Store ASAP ....
You are the best, Jeff. Thanks for helping us love our machines.
Great video packed with so much information. Thank you, Jeff!
You saved my sewing project!! THANK YOU FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
I'm so happy to be able to watch you today as I hand quilt! Thank you for posting this video!
You had me when you used a Star Wars analogy for the multiple types of tension components!!! ❤️
I was wondering if anyone would comment
This information should be in every sewing machine manual!! Thanks, Bernina Jeff!
Now you can find it all the time
Thank you so much! I have wrestled with this problem so much.
Fantastic lesson in upper thread tension troubleshooting- you make it so easy! Thank you!
Glad to help
Best and clearest information I've seen for what to do when that nest happens. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your quick trouble shooting video. I’m just now getting into sewing so this really helps.
Thank you so much for explaining how/why the tension works the way it does. I am one of those sewers like you mentioned, that pulled the bobbin casing apart, gave it a good clean on the underside of machine, only to still have the problem. I was worried about how far to turn the upper tension when quilting, only going as far as 6.5, but you have given me the confidence to go higher now. Thank you, you would make a great teacher, the way you explain things so easily for me to understand
Thank you for your video and easy to understand way to clean the tension. I NEVER knew it could be cleaned. Great money saving tips! 💕
Great
I was working with kettle cloth cotton fabric and I was getting a tangle in my bobbin case. I was sure I was inserting my bobbin wrong or it wasn’t the right size. I never thought to check my tension. Great tip at a perfect time. Thank you for your video.
Thank you very much for your shared knowledge, and tips. Your way of explaining, with your visual aid prop are a big plus, keep it up!
You answered many questions I had in one video, such as the way a divider is set within the tension discs. I'm subscribing right away!
Thank you. Love the tension model!
Great video as usual….thanks Jeff!
Thanks so much for explaining the connection between the upper tension and birds nests! I was able to get a friend's machine back in working order with your help!
Wonderful!
Great tutorial Jeff thanks so much!
I always appreciate your videos. So helpful!
Thank you. Wonderful lesson.
Omg thank you so much! I had thread that was loose on the top for ages and tried EVERYTHING the internet said but no where did it say clean out the tension mechanism. Found a giant tangled red thread (haven't used red since February) in there. Cleaned it out with a tool that came with it and all my stitches are perfect now! I have messed up and cost myself a lot of money on customers shirts and this has saved me so much aggravation! Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Best demonstration I’ve ever seen! ❤
Thank you, I’ll check this on two of my machines.
Hello. I live near Morehead, Kentucky. Brenda sent me. I own a Bernina Patchwork Edition that I bought new from the Bernina dealer here. It's going to take me a while to get through all your available videos. I
I need to learn how to deep clean and oil my Bernina. I don't use my Bernina very often. I save it for doing special projects. My Bernina hasn't been serviced for a while. I was told that I am never to open my machine to clean and oil it myself (by the repairman at the dealership). However, another woman told me that she does open, clean and oil hers. Because I have been told different stories by the people that I bought my machine from, I now do not trust them anymore.
This last time I was in their shop (for a class) the repairman wanted me to trade in my machine. I like my little Bernina. I don't want one of those big machines they were selling at the time. I can't lift them. I'm 75 years old. The repairman did not know that I had overheard a woman telling her husband that she wanted a little Bernina like mine. I also overheard the husband ask the repairman about getting them a machine like mine. The repairman told him that they were not made anymore.
Someone else told me that the computer inside my machine is now out of date and cannot be replaced. If any of the information that has been given to me is correct, I may never buy a modern sewing machine again. I do most of my sewing on antique Singers. The old machines are easy to open, clean, and oil. I would love to be able to do the same for my Bernina.
I like old mechanical machines too, but the features a computerized one has are nice. Clean and open what you are comfortable with do not adjust things and use a good oil. Computer machines are good for as long as they work like a cell phone if they die get a new one. Jeff
I only watched the first minute and a half and it solved my problem!! I needed the advice of using two different colors of thread so that you can see which on is the problem. Thank you!!
Thank you for learning us all about tensions that most of all my problems I stop sawing because this problem maybe I start using my sawing machine again..
Thanks Jeff, very helpful video
Hi Jeff!!! Great that you have a You Tube Channel.
Such a useful video! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was having a lot of issues with a new machine. Turns out fabric was stuck in the tension plates. I was searching for answers for hours!! 🥹
Thank you Jeff! Great video!
This is exactly what is happening on my 770. In addition, my fabric gets stuck and I end up with a load of cut thread in bobbin area. I wish you would have demonstrated how to fix tension on the 770. I do appreciate all your video. They have served me well. Thank you very much.
Love how you demo DIY Thanks
Nice explanation for beginners, like me. Thanks
It worked! It worked ! The windex and pipe cleaner worked ! Thank you ! Thank you ! The nearest repair place is over an hours drive away.
Glad it helped
Absolutely wonderful information as usual, thank you Jeff. Can you help with my very recent problem, I have a Bernina 590 that has just started to shred the upper thread, I use 50wt Aurifil for piecing with 1.5 stitch length. I sew fairly slowly but still shreds, have tried using Bernina thread stand, have undone everything & checked what I can, also lowered thread tension from 70 to 40, new needle, no luck. Seems to shred & break down lower end opposite presser foot left button etc. Any ideas would be such a great help 😀🤞
So helpful!! Thank you! Blessings
Great video. Thanks and greetings from 🇨🇭

Great video! Thanks, Bernina Jeff....
Loving your work shop and so big. Xx
Thank you sir on all those suggestions. I just had mine reparied for the same issues, I wish I saw this video, I would have saved 159 dollars. But next time....
You are welcome
TYVM Jeff, great video!
Fantastic video 🎉
Fantastic thank you 💐
Thank you I will try this technique cause my machine bunches underneath and it is frustrating 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for all your demos . Where can I get one of those scissor holders to put on my machine. (always misplacing my scissors)
Very helpful, thank you so much. Now, a quick question. Can you help with stitches not forming. Long runs of thread, and the odd stitch? Hoping you have a video on this. I'm wondering if it is a hook timing issue or a tension issue. Meanwhile, I'll go and find a pipe cleaner. Thank you!
Thanks for the great info
Thank you, thank you! Your the best for sure. 😊
You are so welcome
Thank you thank you a million times thank you.
Hi Jeff, so glad I found your channel. I am going back to sewing on my Bernina 950 and I have always had an issue since I got this machine where the backstitch always gobbles up the tread. I think it is the speed of the machine. I just cleaned my upper tension like you showed and am still getting the breaking of the tread once I do a couple of backstitches and then go forward again. Do I have to unscrew that area under the plate to release something or clean it? I did take a dust blaster to it to try to clean the lint out. Appreciate your advice.🙏🏻
Wow your favourite machine Bernini 770QE+ deserves top prize at £3,700 UK price. Whew! Top Dollar machine.
This was great. Thank you.
You are fantastic!
Watching from south America love yur hints thanks for sharing but I would like it if u can share some hints for the top tread cutting
Thank you. I have a Bernina 770qe which sewed well for two years. Now, the thread continues to slip out of the check spring. Have gone in multiple times, but is always “user error”. I feel it is threaded correctly. This can happen every ten minutes when sewing. Can I call you,for help?

Thanks Jeff
Just found you my chance. Thank you. !
Jeff I have a Bernina 770 and I’m trying to quilt with my BSR which works good but it’s pulling the bobbin thread up. I suspect it’s the Minky because it’s red and my bin is white. What do you recommend? 1:35
Thank you for that brilliant tip. By the way you have an amazing shop. I’ve never been in one that big.
would you recommend useing a can of compressed air to clean disk area or not?
Thank you!
Thanks Jeff. Is your newsletter available to regular people? How can we get it.
I have a Brother sewing machine. Having trouble getting the correct set up to make certain stitches. Any tips?
I have found that the cheap cotton thread creates dust. The better brands of thread do not.
Thank you!!
Where have you been all that time? I am so glad to find you! Thank you!
Thank you! Our quilting classroom machines are not expensive and this same "rat-nesting" happens frequently so I'm going to try this as soon as possible!
Is this the same for an 880 plus Crystal Edition?
Thank you
I hope you can help me. I cleaned and oiled my brother machine yesterday and started to sew today and my kid turned the tension nob all the way around and around. Now I can't get it right unless I set it to 9 it was at 3 yesterday. now what? New threads and new needle (19) could it be the needles to high
I would love how to do that on a 770qe clean tension disc
Hahahahha! …”like the bar scene in Star Wars …!! 🤣🤣🤣
Whats the name of the tension tool you were using to measure thread tension?
Thank u
I hav 3 machines and no money to solve this problem
Great video, as usual?
Hey there, I have a question. What if it is at zero and there's major tension? The thread breaks and it's very hard just pulling on it. Can you please help? Thank you🙂
Do you sell the hook tool that you used to clean the upper tension?
Hi Jeff.Ihave a Bernina but my friend has a brother.it does the same thing you are demonstrating.How can I help hear?
Thanks for the video explaining tension. I've got a Bernina 330 and have a question about removing the thread. Should I cut the thread near the spool and pull the thread out going forward, or could I just take the spool and pull the thread backward through the machine? Thanks for your videos!
I recommend cutting by the spool and pulling out from the needle less build up of debris that way
Hi there. Thank you for the great videos you provide. I would be grateful if you could please help me out with a query regarding a 730 bernina record. I can't seem to get the straight stitch to centre itself. I was thinking if it was an off set stitch to the left. If I move the knob to centre it for straight stitch it will do zigzag. I've checked manual set it up as directed but zigzag will always occur.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Debbie
Check to make sure all the tabs on the right side are in correct position they control button hole functions then make sure the middle smaller knob is straight up with the outer knob to the far left they can get gummy
Dear Jeff, I have watched many of your utube videos and learnt a lot. I do have one question, my new Bernina 770QE Plus of three months, the cutter is not working when I press the scissors button. The machine is all clean with no threads, but it still won’t cut. Can you suggest anything please?
Many thanks. Maureen

That’s a fix for a Bernina tech
Thanks!
Is there a video on how to relieve tension of the foot? When I’m quilting, it seems I have to "drag" my quilt, as the foot pressure is too strong? TIA
??
Wonderful lesson. Thank you. New subbie.
Do you have a video on the feed dog? I have a different brand to what you work with (Brother) but I was wondering if there is a way to find out why mine is staying down without taking it into have it looked at a second time - first time did not fix the issue sadly.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
which Brother do you have? some have a button on the side of machine that you can push in to drop feed dogs. Then push it again to put the feed dogs back up.
hey Dawn, mine is the Star 110 it has the control switch to the right and below the bobbin cover but on the body of the machine. Does that make sense? I'm going to give a call to a machine service guy and find out what the costs will be. I saw an amazing plate that goes over the top of the existing plate to cover the feed dogs and you can then free motion sew 😮 I thought that was a pretty cool idea and a possible option 😀
EXCELLENT- MASTER
So it will bunch if lack of tension?
Mr. Jeff, can you tell me why the top thread always pulls out of the needle when I start sewing if I am not holding I to it? I watch you tubers sew every day and they don't have to hold on to their string.
Thank you .Where can I find the tool with the hook ? Please tell me the name of it please .? Thank you
