Thank you for tip on sewing heavy fabric and strapping. Wish I would have seen it a month ago when I was repairing a bag made out of heavy material thrifted from an old green army duffle bag.
Thanks for the info from Rita in Pennsylvania. I am the original owner of a Bernina 930 and no matter the fabric from Swiss batiste to vintage upholstery this machne never disappoints.
I have a tomato pincushion i marked with a Sharpie into smaller wedge sections. Each section is marked with a needle size I use. Then I have 5 long pins, each eith a flag for one of my machines. I always know what needle is in rach machine without having to pull out my jeweler's loop. I made an ironing station from a snack tray and use the same stram iron you show. It has served me well through shoulder replacement surgery because it is so light weight!
AWESOME video Jeff! Thank you I have visited your store since 1980's when my daughter was growing up. We would visit from crested butte. Finally I am moving to GJ from Crested Butte and begin quilting I'll be at your store a lot. Thanks for being here all these years!!!
One of your best! Loved it. The portable sewing station - love it; the iron - just waiting for someone to give me a tip on which to buy; the needles - good to know; needle minder on machine - love it! You need to be cloned!
I have the original My Pad and really like it. The flower-head pin is my reminder of what needle is currently mounted in my machine. This newer pad has many more designations which will be very helpful for those of us who do more than one type of sewing. Thanks for all your helpful videos.
MY PAD!!!! is an incredible tool. I had a pattern to make my own but never got it done. However, I used to put the needles back in thecase and marking the slot with a sharpy. However with a 570 go through that heavy fabric? I made a removeable table cover for a table. I think the pattern was on Missouri star Quilting.
Hi I need information about a Bernina 330 that I bought in the UK about 10 years ago. I need to sell it and can't seem to find a second hand price. The machine hasn't been used much, because I am used to the old Bernina minimatic and Elna SU. This modern machine felt so light and I did a lot of sewing on the manual machines and couldn't get used to the light machine. The people in your area are so blessed to have you and your shop, because in the UK you buy the machine and no classes. I'm South African and in the 70s when I bought my machines, you had a week of very informative lessons. I always take a look at all your handy gadgets and information and wish we had that here. I would really appreciate it if you could give me info, I paid £600. Take care Anita
If I hadn't found you I wouldn't have known about the Steamfest recall. Mine is a 2013. The serial number is not clear. Will call them tomorrow. I ordered a new one from you. Thanks so much!
I love your ideas. If possible please give links to the screwdriver, screwdriver holder and the needle grabber. The older I get the less I can manipulate my fingers to do these tasks
Is the 790 plus capable of sewing those thick layers? I was thinking of getting a Juki TL to make bags. If the Bernina is capable I won’t bother getting the Juki.
Thanks for another informative video! I love the needle case holder and the screwdriver holder. How about one for a small size seam ripper? I am always losing that one too! Thank you!
Can I use a v92 polyester thread? I generally use it on my LZ1 industrial machine for sewing canvas. Little fixes would be great on my 790+ as that is what is set up 90% of the time. I have been concerned that the thread is too thick for the bobbin.
Hello Mr Jeff. I love your videos. I did make a ironing board like you did awhile back and I do use the little steam iron for quick pressing. I wish you were closer. I live in Colorado Springs. I have a Bernina 770QE. I have a question. I have a Bernina 1630 from 1996. It sews beautifully. But the light behind the screen is dull. Is that fixable and replaced ? And what do you estimate the price would be. Thanks, Carmen Maldonado
I had a 1360 for 30 years. My motherboard went and the part is no longer available. Went to a 480 and within a year traded it for a 790 plus. Have your dealer or service person check/look at it. Dull screen is how my issue started. Darn good machines.
Different subject! I have a 2008 Bernetta series 56, could you do a video on a the best way to make a button holes? I'm having a hard time getting the hang of it. Thank you!
Just put in an order for a bunch of stuff! Question: So are you saying we do not need to use upholstery thread when sewing canvas things? Just those needles?
Hello Sir, I have a quick question about the 6:00 mark where you told us to not use #69 Nylon thread or it would damage our homeowner machine. I need to know why because that is my preferred thread. I have an early 80s vintage Kenmore 158.15251 that I use Strong bond Tex 70 Nylon thread. The machine favors that over all my standard polyester threads of every brand. I just tried it on 9 layers of NYCO 50/50 cotton and nylon mil grade fabric. I bought the Strongbond heavy nylon for backpack construction using 500 D Cordura. Can you kindly tell me if there's a particular reason why I should not use it anymore? Thank you very much sir for the great ideas! 🪡🧵🙂👍
Thanks for the response. I was concerned. Yes, the tension top and bobbin is different for it over the standard threads. It was a learning curve but usually happy with the results. BTW, I had to buy the manual and replace a couple of parts on my ex girlfriend's Bernina. I was extremely impressed with the precision of her machine. It was an extremely nice work of engineering. It's very generous of you to provide such valuable information. May the Lord bless you! th-cam.com/video/2sObUZM2KD4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jeff, I have B740 machine and I wonder if you could tell me if there is a way to lenghten the bobbin thread when you pull it to the top. Mine comes up but barely. 1/4 inch maybe.
Thanks! So help as always. When you mentioned the company that makes magnetic pin holders, it reminded me that I’ve always been told not to use one near my machine, which is a bummer. I have a 770 QE plus and would like to put one on the throat to the right side as I see. Is it safe after all?

Wow cool! I make sand bag weights for my sons photography business. I love how strong my Bernina machine is!
That is awesome!

I have the Dritz mini iron. They all look alike, think they come out of the same factory

This is a timely video for me! I have a purse strap needing repair thanks!

It’s worth about half of what you paid for it. Jeff
Lylamae here, I just made one of those mini ironing tables, to go with that mini iron you recommended!
Thanks for watching

Wow! Love Bernina! Can the 5 series sew through that thick of fabric too? Or does the new Pro have extra strong piercing power?
Perfect timing I have to sew double layer of heavy canvas and was wondering what needles to use.
I love your ideas. If possible please give links to the screwdriver, screwdriver holder and the needle grabber. The older I get the less I can manipulate my fingers to do these tasks
It’s coming
Is the 790 plus capable of sewing those thick layers? I was thinking of getting a Juki TL to make bags. If the Bernina is capable I won’t bother getting the Juki.
I made an ironing board cover with 2 layers of duck cloth.
That works great good job
You are the bomb! I don’t know what I would do without you!
Thanks

@@mabelbrooks9881 there is one coming to fit the seam ripper
@@berninajeff ok I will be placing a order for sure! Thank you!

Do not know those numbers of thread I recommend 50w on domestics
Great information. Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Learn so much from you!! Thanks!

I don’t have that model sorry

Only UV quality if outside
Did you alter the tension or the foot pressure to sew the heavy fabric?
No change just standard settings
Brenda from Mount Scrapmore recommended your channel 😊
Thanks for watching
How do we find out if the iron we own is on recall. I have one of the older ones I bought about 5 years ago.
Look up their website
Thx for th great info- debating whether to trade my 880 plus for th 790 pro?
I heard there’s a new 880 coming either end of this year or next year…….
@@crocketp thx for tht
Yes
@@berninajeff should I do tht trade?

🪡🧵🙂👍
Most sewist do not know how to adjust tension for 69 bonded thread, sounds like you are fine. Continue as you are Kenmore old styles are tough
Thanks for the response. I was concerned. Yes, the tension top and bobbin is different for it over the standard threads. It was a learning curve but usually happy with the results.

Hi Jeff, I have B740 machine and I wonder if you could tell me if there is a way to lenghten the bobbin thread when you pull it to the top. Mine comes up but barely. 1/4 inch maybe.
That is the only length it can do. I keep my Bernina tweezers handy to grab that thread.
Jeff do you ship to Switzerland
Very interesting, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks! So help as always. When you mentioned the company that makes magnetic pin holders, it reminded me that I’ve always been told not to use one near my machine, which is a bummer. I have a 770 QE plus and would like to put one on the throat to the right side as I see. Is it safe after all?
Modern machines are magnetic shielded now it’s safe to use normal sized magnets around and on your machines so I was told by Bernina Tech department.
😂My idea of paradise, exactly...❤❤❤
Will this technique work on a leather watch and?
It should
Can bernina 325 sew thick fabric? Thank you
Where would I buy Gold Jeans needles in Australia? Thanks
I sell there
I sell there
I put an ironing board next to my left side!
Where are you located at
I prefer Singer COLOR CODED needles.
Good
'Vroeg vogel' 😂, that isDutch and means 'early bird'. 😊
What is duck cloth
It’s a light canvas
I wish you lived in Ohio.I just bought the new Bernina and I have no idea how to use it.
Me patient and watch lots of videos.
