BERNINA Domestic Quilting Tips

[@brysonwest93]

I love your teaching style. Very easy to follow and very friendly. Thank you!

[@janbosold8270]

This set of You Tube videos are the best I have ever experienced. I have had questions about some smaller details on my machine that have finally been answered. This is definitely going to be my "How To" site from now on! The way Gayle presents takes the scariness out of quilting and gives me a "can do" feeling! Fantastic job, Gayle

[@loismichielli8321]

Thank you so much for these videos. I just recently got a BERNINA 570 QE and I feel like a deer in headlights! There is so much to learn and the manual doesn’t show it all. Classes haven’t started yet, so your videos enable me to experiment without too much fear!

[@toniacain2015]

Thanks Gail. You are such a fun presenter and very informative. These videos really help people like me who are new to machine quilting and embroidery. Well done!

[@christinegregory2171]

This was interesting snd entertaining. THOUGH i have been sewing for 53 years (mostly garments) I am retiring and diving into embroidery and quilting. I feel like a kid in a candy shop! I look forward to more of your videos!

[@marytessmer1173]

Gayle was very helpful to the beginner in quilting. Good sense of humor and tips she shared kept my interest! Will look for more tutorials offered by her! Thank you Gayle!

[@cindylake7193]

I know I am Miss Tarty to the party but you are amazing! I just received a Bernina and was completely intimidated by it. You helped me and I have actually started sewing with it. Thank you SO much. I hope you see this.

[@ericmel99]

I love how real your videos are. Plus you make me laugh!!

[@marywlodarski3318]

Loving my new machine and your videos are a must for this new enthusiast! Can't wait to try out your techniques on some projects!

[@priscillaniceley7490]

What a great teacher and video Gayle! I have had my Bernina QE 570 for several months now and have been challenged to learn what I want in these pandemic times. You make it seem possible and fun!! Thank you!

[@connielentz1114]

Using a patterned fabric as the backing and then following the design to quilt is brilliant!

[@amyblossom7486]

Such a great video to learn about different quilting techniques. I am a new quilter and this helped me understand so much about the many quilting options available. This one is going right into my Bernina reference file! Thank you!

Nice video for a lot of quilting and thanks for showing the backing so we could see what you have done ❤️

[@cvan1075]

I smile while watching your videos. I have been in Naperville before ever learning about Bernina and so I feel connected to your effort to teach and enjoy your lessons. I am using a BSR and do not understand how to judge foot pressure because 74 and 42 is showing the bobbin thread alot!

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

That’s not foot pressure, that’s tension. So the BSR has its own tension adjustment because it is considered a separate stitch. So if you tighten the upper tension on it, when you put the #74 foot on, that’s gonna be with the actual #1 straight stitch. Also, what model BERNINA do you Have? What type of thread? Is the tension eyelashing? There are so many things hinges to consider.

[@wendymckinnon692]

Thank you Gayle for giving such informative information in such a fun manner!

[@msnelson98]

Hello, new subscriber here 👋🏻. You’re a great teacher, I find the details and actual hands on demonstrations so helpful. I just purchased a used Bernina 830 Limited Edition and have lots to learn so I’m really happy to have found your You Tube channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 🥰🙋🏻‍♀️

[@sdcgren6301]

Can I use this quilting foot on my bernina 530-2 record? I think I need legacy feet for it. Help please.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

The 530-2 is a very old machine. You reached out to our store and I am drafting an email to you explaining that. This is not the forum for this conversation.

[@maryjones2443]

Can you purchase the stitch in ditch for the walking foot

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Yes, if you have the walking foot style that allows you to switch from open toe to closed toe. Here is the item: www.berninaofnaperville.com/products/walking-foot-sole-with-central-guide?_pos=3&_sid=5a39cbacb&_ss=r

Hi I’d love to have a walking foot ,but but my Bernina is model 530-2 Record, any suggestions are much appreciated.

[@hapagirl1976]

Wonderful video!!! I love how you explain all the feet. Do you have info on where you got the pattern for the penguin? Would love to have the pattern and if you would do a video on putting it together. ❤️

[@hrhosmer]

Great idea to use the backing fabric for your quilt design. I’m thinking I might use cheap gift wrap paper for the design work then tear it off. Whatdaya think? Tell Bernina we want a ruler foot for our BSR.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Wrapping paper will make a mess. I prefer to ruler work without stitch regulation as one typically goes slower. The Q16 is awesome as it has the regulation at the needle plate for the 360° movement.

[@alisoncurrie1438]

Brilliant video. Will be returning lots!

[@AnnieElle]

How did you quilt from the back and avoid quilting through your flamingos? Or did you just quilt right through them? It looks like somehow you managed to avoid them from what I could see.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

I stitched in the ditch from the top with water-soluble thread.

[@tammyeaton4791]

Is there a sole for the walking foot that has a quarter inch guide for piecing?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

BERnINA has full shank feet. The #57 and #57D have a metal “splash guard” on the right to block your fabric to keep it 1/4”. I show it in the video

[@tammyeaton4791]

@@BERNINAofNaperville Nice. Thanks.

[@cherylwilliams42]

What is the largest size quilt that you quilt on your domestic? I own a 590.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

It depends on the fabric and batting thickness. I have heard customers say that they have done queen size. It’s about trial, error and practice.

[@kimnambiar5884]

Do you need it if you have the BSR

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Hi. Need what?

[@kimnambiar5884]

@@BERNINAofNaperville the “walking foot”

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Walking foot is very useful for straight line and match stitch quilting. Also sewing the binding on. Although some of the machines also have dual feed, the walking foot can get a better hold of the top material in some instances. The BSR is for free motion quilting like following a motif or stippling. Not as east to do straight lines.

[@alisoncurrie1438]

What number is the foot in this video for quilting really puffy projects. Thanks. Alison from Scotland.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

You can use the #74 adjustable cup clip foot or the clear larger plastic sole for the BERNINA Stitch Regulator.

[@nileremsing3382]

How did you lower the feed dog on the 880+?

[@nileremsing3382]

Also how thick is the ruler? Thank you.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

When you add the BSR to the 880 PlUs the feed dogs automatically drop, otherwise the feed dog button on the left side toward the bottom of the touchscreen puts the feed dogs down. Rulers are the Amanda Murphy good measure rulers in 1/4” thick for Longarm used with the #72 adjustable ruler work foot.

[@esperansaloughran693]

do you need to do 'micro' stippling with the microstippling foot? or can you do other FMQ using that foot?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

You can use others, but this one is nice because the height is adjustable and it has a larger opening with matte finish metal that reduces glare.

[@pamclose2638]

@@BERNINAofNaperville I understand that, but my question is 'can you use this foot (microstippling) to do other types of free motion quilting? Such as larger stippling, ribbon candy, feathers, loops, and spirals, etc. etc.?
