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 b…

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!

Hi Group,
I am looking for some help with My Bernina 155. I would like to know how to program The Initials SP so I can sew about 100 tea towels with out doing it one letter at a time. Can this be done?
hope someone can help. x e

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.

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.

There is a Dressmaking group on sew-whats-new. If you don't get an answer here, you may want to direct your question there. Good luck with the dress. It sounds like a pretty design.

I am making a prom dress for my daughter. I am excited that she asked me to. She has picked out a ready made dress picture and now I need to recreated it. It looks simple, straight dress almost like a simple sundress. It is short but at the bottom of the dress there are "pick-ups" (not a truck) but a little bit of material tact to a linning. Does anyone know how to do these little "pick-ups"?

I am on my second Bernina. I have a 730 and bought the design software and to date, I still don't know how to use it. Their software is so expensive and not user friendly at this point, but I LOVE my machine. I will not update again. I am satisfied with the 730.
