I just bought a used 830 and was absolutely lost. Yours was one of the only videos that made sense. I wish you had more about the 830 and if you do please replay. Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation about using rulers and free motion quilting.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial! This really addresses the need for ruler feet on a Bernina. These feet will work on several different brands of machines.
Thank you for these clear instructions. I don't have a Bernina 830, but appreciated your comparison of the three sizes of Westalle feet and especially your emphasis on safely using them at 9:18 to 9:40 in the video.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It's full of clear instruction and concise information. I have the Bernina 880 and just received my Bernina Q20 sit-down long arm. Haven't used these feet on either machine but you can bet I will be watching your videos and playing.
Patsy, I was extremely impressed with the quality and thoroughness of your presentation. I have both a Bernina 820 and 830. While I was considering the Westalee ruler feet, I may now look at the Janome since the dealer I will be working with sells both types of machines and I hope can help answer any further questions. Thank you!
I wish I saw this before I got my set up...I got the Westalee low shank for my 830. I think I'm going to get the Bernina 96 foot as there are a few rulers from Quilters Apothecary I'd really like but didn't think we could use traditional rulers. Thank you for a great tutorial!!!!
Hi Patsy, I wonder if the Bernina #72 Ruler Foot was out yet when you made this video. I expect it would be the one made for your 830. Also, I see you made several work well but you never mention if you were able to use your single hold needle plate with any of these feet and I’m dying to know if you could or if the amount you had to move your needle caused you to need to use the wider foot plate. By the way, I’m a big fan of your free-motion quilting work although I’m not as familiar with your ruler work. Thank you!
Hi Jen, We made this video back in the days where no proprietary ruler feet were available for home machines, so folks were trying out different machine feet on different machines to see if they could work. Bernina has a great ruler foot now! I can't answer your question about the single hole throat plate. I sold my Bernina 830 many years ago and it was the only Bernina model I've owned, so my Bernina-specific knowledge is very limited. Sorry!!
Curious if you made any adjustments to your bobbin tension on your 830. Is it threaded for regular sewing or do you tighten or loosen the bobbin tension for ruler work?
Patsy, after watching this and your DVD on TQS, I was have a question. What do you think about getting a Westalee long shank for my Bernina 830 & 730 and cutting the top of the shank of to make it open. (like you did with some of the feet)? Would it make it more usable/versatile then the medium shank you liked? Thank you for all your teaching aids.
+Judeen Izzard I would not alter the short shank as it would not make it more versatile than the medium shank and it would be tough to do because the metal on the Westalee feet is very durable (unlike the metal on the Janome ruler toe.)
Thank you for answering so quickly. I did buy the med shank as you suggested. I am having difficulty with my 830 skipping stitches and shredding the thread. I am using your suggested settings. I put my #26 foot on with it's normal settings and FM, no skip stitches. This is a little scary for me because I do not want to hurt my 830 in any way. Next week I am getting my new 880. Any suggestions? Other then wait. :)
+Judeen Izzard I would look at 2 items, 1 at a time. I know that the Westalee feet can cause skipped stitches if the foot is not mounted at "just the right spot" on the ankle, or in your case, on the Bernina #77 adapter. I would experiment with how high up it is mounted. Start by placing that little thing that comes in the package below the foot and mount it so that's all the space that's there when the foot is lowered. Stitch w/that for awhile and if you have skipped stitches, gradually move it up just a tad bit higher. Once you find the right place, make some kind of a mark so you always mount it that way. I believe this is probably where the poblem lies. 2. I took a webinar with Sew Steady (US dealer for Westalee products) and they said when folks have skipped stitches, it is a tension issue. If you don't have success with what I wrote above, my next move would be to play with the tension settings. Remember, tension will vary with every combination of threads you come up with, so the settings I used in the video will likely NOT be ideal for you.
Ich habe die 780 und 380er Bernina . Wie komme ich an diese Quilt-Füsse. Möchte gerne mit den Schablonen arbeiten ohne diesen Fuß ist es aber nicht möglich.
I would love to be able to quilt with rulers, but after visiting a Bernina dealer and a quilt shop, it doesn't look possible with the manual Classic 830. Do you or anyone else out there have any information that could help me be able to use rulers without purchasing a new machine?. My sewing machine was bought in 1981. It still purrs like a kitten and a new machine is not an option. I would appreciate anyone sharing their knowledge.
My original Bernina was an 830 purchased in 1980. I was able to use other manufacturers feet (for example a roller foot that Bernina didn't have) by using an adapter like the one used in this video. You would have to check with a Bernina dealer to get the correct adapter since the connection is different on the older machines. I would think that that would work. Good luck to you. Keep that classic 830 going, they are rather highly sought after. Even Bernina says it is one of their best machines.
Personally, I would avoid the low shank. The medium shank will give you the most versatility as far as being able to accommodate the biggest variety of batting lofts, but I use the high shank myself. There is no "correct answer" to your question as it boils down to personal preference, but what I've given you above is my personal preference.

Really GREAT, thorough info! Thank you!
Glad to hear you liked it!

Patsy Thompson, Thanks for replying so quickly! I’m curious what brand of machine you are using now? And how do you like it for free-motion quilting?
@@1229Jen I have a Babylock Ellisimo and Babylock Destiny and they are both great for FMQing!
Curious if you made any adjustments to your bobbin tension on your 830. Is it threaded for regular sewing or do you tighten or loosen the bobbin tension for ruler work?
+Pam Varner
I just left my bobbin tension "as is" for normal sewing. I did mess around with my top tension, though.
Pretty sweet machine you have there, Patsy! Love it!
love how you explain
What settings did you use with the low shank Westalee foot? Thanks so much for the info!

+Patsy Thompson Thank you. I will try those suggestions. When I succeed I will let you know.
love the video.. can you tell me where I can find this foot for my Bernina 830q? I have been searching the Web with no luch.
oh-la-la super machine and foot ! I love your machine !
Ich habe die 780 und 380er Bernina . Wie komme ich an diese Quilt-Füsse. Möchte gerne mit den Schablonen arbeiten ohne diesen Fuß ist es aber nicht möglich.
When I lower my presser foot to 0 or lower on my Bernina 750QE the thread shreds. Any clues on how to address this problem?
Do you use 72 yet on the berina 830
can this be used with my Juki F600 do you know? my shank looks like a low shank. thanks
thank you so much for this video!!!!
I did not know Bernina made a long arm ruler foot!
great job! very clear!

Might also want to add that using non Bernina accessories and feet will void their warranty.
