I just got my 830 LE today and think the bobbin is absolutely brilliant.I love it! It is just as easy to do as this clip shows. This video is not misleading is any way. If you take your time and have your dealer show you...I have never in my lie used Bernina before-got my machine today, had my maser class scheduled before I picked it up. SHe had me thread the head and bobbin a million times each-both sewing and embroidery...not a lick of trouble with the bobbin.
@c5869y Sorry to hear that threading is causing problems. You will find more detailed threading instructions on the bernina 8 series website. Unfortunately you will have to switch to the German language version. Click on "Probelauf" and you will find the videos. I will see if I can get hold of the videos and post them here. Kind regards form Steckborn.
Hi Teresa, we still offer an old-style Walking Foot, see our accessory catalog at www.bernina.com/en-US/Support-US/Product-Catalogs (walking foot with article no. 008 968 73 00 is compatible with category "A" and hence with most vintage BERNINA sewing nachines). It is not sold in a hard case anymore though. For more information, please get in touch with your BERNINA dealer. He will be happy to help you.
Has anyone had problems with the 830 screen not responding? From what I’ve read, I must have put the machine in “eco” mode, and can’t get it back to normal sewing mode. None of the icons work. I’ve also tried recalibrating by holding the 2 needle position buttons while the computer boots. A target appears, but won’t recognize being touched with the stylus. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Dear Patricia, thanks for asking. If possible, please check which firmware version you have running on your B 830. The latest version is: V34.21.56. If you are using an older version, please go to bernina.com -> support -> BERNNA 830 firmware and load the new firmware version. If this is not possible and you can't find another way to solve the problem, please get in contact with your dealer.
@@kathydoty2621 Dear Kathy, please make sure you don't have a straight stitch plate selected in the security program (see page 159 of the user manual: www.bernina.com/bernina/media/Support/Sewing_Quilting_Embroidery/8_Serie/BERNINA_830/Documents/EN/032299-53-04_1204_B830_EN_online.pdf) as this would limit your stitch width. If you can't solve the problem by changing the settings in the security program, please carefully clean your machine as shown in th-cam.com/video/JhGCEML2h1s/w-d-xo.html. If this doesn't help please use www.bernina.com/dealersearch to find a dealer near you and please get in touch with him.
I do not like BERNINA 830 - it has small embroidery's field - Jumbo hoop. PFAFF Sensation has 360mmx350mm -approximately a square field of embroidery. The prise is too high. The machine looks awesome.
Agree with c5869y. The bobbin assembly must have been designed by a watchmaker , way over-engineered and fiddly. The German language version did not help much, very sparse. There is a good tutorial by FreshThread on this site. I'm having to stash my 200 (best ever!) upstairs to force myself to use the 830! And only because of the bobbin threading nightmare, otherwise the machine is a joy.

I have had nothing but problems with my 830! Spent all of money on it and cannot replace it.

My 830 has been a nightmare: the bobbin in the problem. Been serviced many many times. The tech said it will be back shortly due to the bobbin.
