Binder and binder foot

I have an 1130 which I purchased in 1988 and still love it.  It does everything except embroider.  I've decided it's cheaper to purchase iron-on appliques of all types.   Now I want to purchase the…Continue

Welcome jane. I too am new to embroidery. I bought my first bernia a year and a half ago. Love my 630! Still not comfortable with the embroidery yet.

just got an artista 200 that has been upgraded. I have always owned Vikings so am brand new to Bernina, and to embroidery. I am definitly taking advantage of the free classes. Looking forward to tips here.

Just joined the group...new to this site, just stumbled upon it, but really excited about the content.  I just bought myself a used Bernina 1130, and am looking forward to getting acquainted with it.  Glad to see this group of dedicated Bernina users, so I know who to go to if I have questions about how to use my Bernina.  I have been sewing for many years, but never owned a Bernina.

Just joined the group. Have a 630 and posted two photos of the first two blocks of the Sunbonnet Sue Redwork quilt for my great-granddaughter. I'm so new at this that I don't know how to tell to locate the photos. Will post more photos as I progresss getting the qujilt together with the sashing, etc.

New to this sewing world and hoping to learn a lot. I have a Bernadette 66. Any advice or help would be great.

I want to make a quilt with embroidered blocks. Any suggestions on how to do this? I am new to embroidery just bought my machine a few months ago and am pretty clueless here.

Do you cut the blocks first? do you just use large pieces of fabric and cut later? How do you center them correctly? I tried to trim a block after embroidery was done and found it hard to center the design and my ruler didn't sit flat over the stitching..........help please!

Try taking the bobbin case out and clean, also check to see if the bobbin is in correctly, check the book, I can't remember if it should be clockwise or counter clockwise, it does make a difference.

Help! I'm trying to embroider on my Aurora 430 and it keeps saying the thread is broken. It works about 10 stitches and then starts beeping at me! Ahhh! The thread is not broken. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Alanapr - that's exactly what I hope to do with my Janome feet. I'll keep looking.
Alanapr Comment by Alanapr on February 2, 2010 at 6:03pm
For Rosie - I, too, have an Artista 170. I was able to buy an adapter foot (I think it is a 95) on Ebay. Now, I did get lucky in that a lady was selling off some of her Bernina stuff, so I got a bargain. The adapter lets me use the snap in feet that came with my Pfaff! So I get to use feet I am familiar with.
