Bernina matic 810 - Basics

[@JoanneMomsen]

In Stitches, thank you very much for sharing very important, yet basic instructions on this old but strong Bernina model sewing machine in such a clear and simplistic way. Highly appreciated.

[@spaghetticonfetti5522]

This video saved me thank you. Working on this machine that's older then me that came with no instructions!

[@MrWhiteamin]

Thanks for the video, I was donated a Bernina 807, and after wathing your video ,many things became clear! For me it's mostly basic use, but you inspire me to do more stuff! Thanks again mate!

[@cathleenfarrelly7150]

Thank you so much, I have had my machine for 30+ years and didn't actually know about all those oiling points!

[@dianereeves2619]

Thank you so much, I forgot how to put the needle in thanks again best video by far 🤩👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@shorn.]

Absolute lifesaver! I have my mum's old 801 model and this video was enough for me to figure it all out

[@InStitches]

Great to hear!

[@kimwarburton8490]

i was just given a Bernina minimatic 807 today by my nan -grandad sure knew his mechanics!

[@Shona632]

Thanks for the sewing tips & the maintenance and oiling tips. I understand my Bernina so much better now. I inherited my 810b three years ago (it belonged to my grandmother-in-law as well as my mother-in-law) & with good maintenance it will keep going for me for many more years to come.

[@InStitches]

Excellent. They are very good machines.

[@jodyearl1458]

Thank you so much for the tutorial It's given me so much confidence to attempt making buttonholes . Loved Molly , I now want a cat haha

[@SR-yk1ir]

Thank you so much! Just borrowed this machine from a friend - and your video really helped me using it! Greetings from Bavaria :)

[@hannahcoleman2940]

Thank you great demo 🙏💚☘️

[@stellariethmuller4808]

This is so helpful. Thank you! Love your cat too!

[@adoracioncosta9865]

Thank you for all the instructions!! I hope to be able to use mine now using your instructions. I love to see the cat around and about🐱

[@heliilona7417]

This video of yours was so helpful. I got my 810 from a friend and it did not work at all. She told she got it as present from her mom in the year 1979, and she has not oiled or cleaned it ever! Luckily I find your video - You are amazing :) Thank you :)

[@InStitches]

Glad it helped

[@FirstPinkGirl]

Great sewing machine, great video to remind me the how and what - thank you!

[@yvngsoto2603]

Subscribed! Really helpful video, so thank you! Adding time stamps would make it EVEN MORE helpful.

[@koko1974ify]

Thanks so much for this, its definitely opened new horizons of possibilities with my machine.

[@InStitches]

I'm please it was helpful.

[@ursulafatton6990]

C’est magnifique même que je comprends pas tous ! Votre chat est une aide précieuse ♥️

[@InStitches]

Merci. Je vais le transmettre à Molly le chat. (google translate)

[@ursulafatton6990]

In Stitches oh ça me fait plaisir long vie à Molly et bonne continuation à vous meilleurs salutations 🥰♥️🌹

[@SpeedLockedNZ]

Brilliant. Inherits Nana's 802, now grandsons pocket only has the mandated hole, thanks @In Stitches & Kia Ora from the distant land of NZ

[@SpeedLockedNZ]

Trying to get Bobbin to thread up without needle threaded was never gonna work, following the steps & bingo, now to put the 30 preloaded bobbins & 7 various feets to some use.

[@Lindahentzen]

I got mine as a high school graduation gift in 1977. Still going strong. It's like the Kitchen Aids and original Cuisinart machines a lot of metal and nylon components - not plastic. They can weigh more than their plastic sisters, but they last forever! Thanks for the video - I've never opened my machine up, but I'll give it a try. Also - I love your feline supervisor!

[@InStitches]

Thanks. I'll also let Molly know.

[@elanorlb8852]

Thank you a lot, there is no tutorials about that old machine anymore.... Thanks from France !

[@InStitches]

Thanks. I'm pleased it helped.

[@bekesize]

Awesome demonstration!

[@thewanderer8]

Excellent vid. You covered everything, except what I was looking for - how to adjust the top and bottom tension!!

[@InStitches]

I plan on doing a video on adjusting tension.

[@gretagXxx]

Same. But thank you - I learnt many other things. Much appreciated.

[@wellingtonalves1774]

Excellent video well done thank you very much!

[@susanohrstrom6120]

I love this little machine . I have several other old Berninas, but tent to use this mainly. Thanks for yr video.

[@InStitches]

Thanks.

[@claudiatang7669]

Thanks for this (and thanks Molly, you're the real star)! I just bought a refurbished Bernina 802S and am coming back to sewing after a long hiatus away. I was able to download the manual from the Bernina website (tip: it's in two parts in a zip file), but it's an old photocopy and some of the details weren't clear. I also couldn't figure out how to move the top lever until I watched your vid!

[@InStitches]

Molly says thanks.

[@beverlykagan1870]

Very good information and a pretty kitty😊

[@helenl3731]

Thank you, I just bought an 810 and this was so helpful!

[@InStitches]

Great to hear!

[@warpingaily]

Thank you this was very helpful. They don't build them like this anymore.

[@InStitches]

I'm please it was helpful. They certainly were made very well.

[@heidiconroy7259]

So helpful, and with a great accent, and a kitty to help with the sewing! Thanks a bunch!

[@InStitches]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrlionel1965]

I picked up a 440 a few years ago for $40. It is a great machine to learn on. It seems very similar to this one. Buttons are in a slight different place, but very simple to use.

[@Blazinkj]

Very informative, thanks for creating and posting!

[@beverlyroberts24]

So helpful, thanks so much.

[@navymarqz4559]

EXELENTE. MUCHAS GRACIAS SALUDOS DESDE SAN QUINTIN BAJA CALIFORNIA

[@AllieinSK]

Perfect video. Thank you!

[@alexpaterson9323]

Thanks! This video solved my upper thread issue. Had the needle wrong way round.

[@lindsayanngrubb]

Thank you! Super helpful

[@nickymcleod4993]

Thank you thank you thank you for this amazing tutorial 🙌🏽

[@warpingaily]

Thank you! Very helpful for my newly acquired 801 matic ( not Sport ) which has one more stitch ( scalloped satin ) and a button to make the top pop off, and a dial for 5 step button holes - but otherwise identical I think. I agree these are great machines if you can find one for sale.

[@InStitches]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hilti503]

The cat is the best!

[@gilliganberry]

Just purchased an 807 and am loving it. Trying to remember all my 'old school' home-ec training. This video is awesome, thank you. Would like to know more about the tension adjustments. The 807 has a +/- wheel at the top that I assume is for tension adjustment. Anyway, thanks again - great job.

[@becky-ss]

Thanks for much for this tutorial !

[@infinityplusone72]

Thanks for this tutorial. I bought a Bernina Automatic 800 for a bargain price of about $10 (I'm in South Africa). It pretty much looks the same. So in love with it already, after electronic machine nightmare. I totally appreciate your guidance. Stay safe #covid19

[@InStitches]

Thanks and you're welcome.

[@Amakas_space]

Thank you so much

[@cylviarietveld8783]

Thanks so much! Really helpful. The machine of my granny has a little bit of a problem: the feet won’t come down anymore. What can I do? Do you know what to do to fix it?

[@libh8956]

I found one in the wild! 😊

[@wendyannerose1072]

Thank you very much. Love your cat.

[@InStitches]

Our pleasure!

[@IamMintChocChip]

Thank you so much!

[@craft8378]

Beautiful, well made video! Thanks

[@InStitches]

Thank you very much!

[@h.o.y.o]

thank you, very helpful

[@alizaattaly1963]

2 problems- the ornamental stitch selector (9 in machine book) and the needle displacement lever(13 in machine book) are not moving at all. how can I make them move? the machine works really good

[@daniellesimone7769]

Thank you IN stitches! I have sidelined my little 810 for several years in favor of my 401A. Now - I will reunite with my 810, thanks to your thorough explanation of it's versatility and strength. You are a super teacher; explanatory and comprehensive in your coverage of all parts of this little workhorse's abilities. Do you have any newer videos, possibly with a Featherweight?

[@InStitches]

Yes, I have this video which is part 1 of a 4 part series where I resurrect a Featherweight here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5TXf5abZr5nkLc - Thanks.

[@adrielrowley]

Wonderful presentation. If repeating a previous comment, please excuse me. The screwdriver must be used to tighten the needle screw when using a even feed attachment. I didn't and the screw almost immediately worked itself out.

[@InStitches]

Thanks. Yes, I seen that happen.

[@ralph9987]

Is this similar to the 710 810 series and which would you choose compared to the Janome mc6000 series to do heavier multi layer canvas denim work? Thanks for any tips

[@ursulaschutter9602]

Vielen Dank für das Video, ich nehme die Katze ;-)

[@michaelaminkin9682]

Would anyone know how to fix the stitch length leaver? Mine has got jammed.

[@InStitches]

If you take the lid off, you can see down to where the lever pivots. Try getting sewing machine oil on to there. Thanks.

[@robeasy13]

Hello…..I have a Bernina 910. What’s is max length for this machine. It was recently serviced but maxed out seems short compared to other machine?

[@InStitches]

Not sure exactly but it is reasonably long. Maybe take it back to your service person to check. Thanks.

[@samirsabih2177]

شكرا جزيلا الشرح مفهوم

[@alexabotha5392]

Hii how does the button hole foot look like ? Or what number is it 🙈

[@tashfaccio1638]

Hi Do you know if it is possible to reduce the pressure on the presser foot?

[@wayneessar7489]

When the top is removed it exposes the wide screw head you need to turn to adjust that pressure. A high quality screw driver with a good end is best, Wera brand or some other ones.

[@lisamccaff9217]

This is such a great tutorial for those of us lucky enough to have a Bernina 800 series. Mine is an 801, bought it for 70euro a year ago, absolutely covered in dirt and dust. After a clean up and a service, it didn’t need much - it runs like a dream. I’ve since collected lots of feet for it- most recently the walking foot and the ruffler foot. Such a pleasure to sew with this machine.

[@marywoodgate7060]

Where can I buy the adapter and attachment holder for my Bernina 1031

[@bsfb3ar]

How old is your sewing machine. I was old by Bernina manager that the 810 is he only all iron sewing machine made the rest are mostly plastic so it is a lot lighter .Bernina no longer made the iron because it is oo csstly . have you heard any like that? You look like you know your machine very well. Do you know off hand how much it is worth?

[@twinstar9]

How would you compare this to a 730 or 830 record?

[@theresapassarelli1599]

Hello, would you be able to tell me what a fair price would be for the Bernina 810? Thank you for your help, Theresa

[@InStitches]

I would say around $200 USD for a good one that's been serviced recently.

[@theresapassarelli1599]

@@InStitches thank you!

[@trondaroselius4026]

Any idea what would be wrong if The backtac knob won’t go up to backstitch.

[@InStitches]

Make sure the knob is unscrewed and try again. If that doesn't work maybe the mechanism is seized?

[@ngoziihejieto6257]

Can i overlock with this machine?

[@andreaward6411]

Would you show how to sew a button hole on this machine? My mother inherited this machine and I really want to try sewing a button, but I haven’t figured out how yet. Thank you for this video it was very helpful. :)

[@andreaward6411]

I didn’t watch the full video when I commented. Thank you so much!

[@ruthasmith212]

How to install jumbo hook race

[@bonnie9644]

I have the Bernina matic 810 and it doesn't have that speed control button and it goes really fast. Does anyone know how to slow the speed?

[@InStitches]

There may be a problem with the foot controller if it just takes off on you.

[@cherryT55555]

Be careful with your kitty they can swallow the thread and it can cut off their digestive system. Can be fatal. I’m sorry I’m really not trying to be “that commenter” just giving you a heads up. I had to take my kitty to Emergency because of thread.
