LET'S TALK ABOUT SEWING MACHINES with Bernina Jeff

[@darlahardy3386]

Bernina Jeff is such a good person and so smart. He teaches so much and doesn't charge a dime. Thanks for having him on your show.

[@archiesbaby3181]

Woah! He is FABULOUS! It's so nice to hear someone speak who is clear, concise, knowledgeable and doesn't say 'ah' every three words. Definitely will check out his videos. Woohoo!! Thanks! 🥰

[@megegert861]

I continue to be delighted with the content of your interviews. You are the sum total of each individual interview. Without your curiosity and know how we would probably never benefit from all this fabulous information. I continue to bless you and urge you forward.

My sis got me an electronic Brother for my b-day ten or so years ago. From Wal-Mart no less. 😊 It was maybe 150 bucks or so. I love it but was thinking it was lesser than my friends who had Bernina's, Baby Locks & Janomes. I'm not tech savvy & it's a multi stitch computer machine & I've decided it has waaay more stitches than I care for. I went to my local Stitch and Vacc shop & that man said the most profound thing to me that banged my brain...most people only need a mechanical machine that uses straight & zigzag stitches. That's my goal! To find an old clunker that's mechanical with no frills. He has those but wants way too much $$$ for them.😏 The search is on.

[@gaylekerr9826]

What a great interview! You are so well prepared and ask the best questions - and Jeff is so interesting and has so many great tips and tricks.

[@whitetimbercottage-quiltin2560]

Soo valuable! Thanks Karen for bringing Jeff to the show 😊👌🏻😊👏🏻

[@pepperpaden517]

My brother lives in Grand Junction and I so wish I had learned about Bernina Jeff when I was out there last summer. We travel there often with our travel trailers I have a Bernina 830 Record that I have loved and used my whole adult life and just recently bought a Bernina Artista 185 second hand that I would love to have in for a "check-up". I'll check that May retreat for sure!

[@michelletodd7322]

How did I miss this video. It was fantastic. I'm so excited to learn more from Bernina Jeff. I have only owned two machine's in my life, both a Bernina. First one bought in 1979 and it still runs well. Just now starting to get squeaky. My last was purchased about 7 years ago and I love it so much even though it's not the top of the line. B550. I'm going to get my husband to view his videos to help me keep things running more smoothly. Thank for this.

[@FloralHeart]

I have been working heavy on my little B 380 Bernina for the last 13 years and it still on going strong.

[@tass1775]

Jeff is awesome. He has a wealth of information and is more than willing to share it. His videos are clear and so helpful. His videos have saved me many trips to my local dealer. I will call him first if I have a question. He is old school and common sense personified.

[@virginiadavidson7862]

I know him!!! Hi Fashion Fabrics was a *fabulous* store when we lived in Grand Junction--an independent fabric store with the most wonderful selection. Hello, Jeff!

[@j9everitt]

My mother owned the Bernina Sewing Center in the late 70’s/early 80’s in Grand Junction, when Mesa County lost the oil shale Industry and became the most depressed county in the nation. Broke her heart to give up the most liquid business she had. I still sew on her 930 and am a fan of Karen Brown. I felt real nostalgic watching this video. Thank you Jeff for your business!

[@zoannewilcox6112]

If it weren't for the bust I would have gotten a new machine in '85. As you know it was a challenge for some of us to find full time work and no one was really getting ahead. Your mother was a delightful person. Even though I couldn't afford a machine, I went there for thread, needles, etc. My best friend bought a Bernina from your mother and still uses it. Jeff has done right by the Bernina name. Your mother would be happy about that.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you for letting us know about your mom

[@j9everitt]

@@zoannewilcox6112 Thank you so much for your message!

[@j9everitt]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I need to subscribe. I was impressed when you said you use a 910. I thought I was the only one with a 910, a gift from my folks for college graduation. It seems to have a short in its motor that the Sterling CO dealer can’t fix ☹️. But the 930 I inherited works great.

[@beverleyavery3748]

Was that with Gary Carter?

[@debbieoglesby1431]

Great video. I love what Bernini Jeff said about the type of machine you buy. I have quite a few friends that have multiple machines with all the bells and whistles. When I got into quilting about 8 years ago, I couldn’t afford those expensive machines from the dealers and bought a Brother on Amazon. It stitches the 1/4 in seam just perfectly and is a work horse. I have it serviced once a year. I did purchase a long arm machine about 4 years ago instead of wasting money on a fancy domestic machine. I am very happy with my set up. Like you and Jeff said, there is no need to keep up with the jones’.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thanks for sharing

[@cathinuferrous2336]

Just bought a Bernina ! Love it❣️and sew glad to discover Bernina Jeff too he’s been especially helpful enabling me to enjoy my new Bernina Sewing Machine. THANKS JEFF 😊 and Karen too

[@mk-xq1tt]

Bernina - excellent machine. Bought my Bernina Favorit 740 1966 and used it for sewing clothing, patchwork and even canvas. Has served me well and still going strong. (South Africa)

[@dartal6video]

Great interview, Thanks so much for introducing us to Jeff.

[@nancyknollflorida]

I used to live near Grand Junction and bought several Berninas from Jeff. He is every bit as knowledgeable and genuine in person as he is on KZbin. He has walked me through taking my machine apart while on the phone. And getting it back together! I’m glad you found him. And I’m happy I found you!

[@daleodberg6714]

Very interesting and comforting to listen to and watch. Thank you.

[@barbararowe771]

Thank you Karen & Bernina Jeff. I live a few hours away from Grand Junction and my friend has an RV. So let’s do the workshop, Bernina Jeff! Come on down, Karen!

[@sherrylesina7224]

Hello Karen! I love Bernina Jeff's videos. I have learned so much about my Bernina from him. I saw his video on the BSR mat thingy. I want it because I have clumsy/arthritic fingers and find it hard to plug my little connector into the port. Keep up with the great interviews.

[@izzymartinez5227]

Awesome interview. I have been sewing for 66 years and I’m still learning, this guy was awesome. Learned a lot. Thank you.

[@margaretperry2015]

I love your channel and never miss a post. I thought I was such an experienced sewist that I didn’t need anyone’s tips and tricks. Was I wrong! Thanks for having Bernina Jeff as a guest! I discovered him when I was locked down, no access to a dealer and my 740 was not cooperating at all, then I got the dread 1010 error message. I frantically searched for some help, and finally found Jeff’s video on just those kind of problems. Half an hour later, my machine and I were happy together. I then watched all of his relevant videos, and I’m a much more skilled Bernina driver.

[@pamclose2638]

This video introduced me to Bernina Jeff. He is now one of my primary sources of information and encouragement and unique custom notions for my Bernina 770QEE w/Plus

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

He is such a great person

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

What an awesome guy, will be watching all his videos.

[@Lady-Seawulf]

Very good interview with Bernina Jeff. He's one of my favorite KZbin personalities (including you).

[@sandyp2485]

Bernina Jeff is a fountain of information. Thank you for having him on.

[@grandmasgarden6402]

I had a sewing machine that had the option of stopping with the needle in the DOWN position. I took this for granted when I bought a new machine and now regret I don't have that wonderful feature anymore!

[@christinewolf1797]

My favorite show yet!

[@amycoleman3994]

If you are coming to Colorado I will be there. I would be so excited to meet you in person.

[@jacquelinetouchie9218]

I love Bernina Jeff’s videos! So informative and helpful 🎉

[@marywoolley5300]

You have both inspired me to go into the garage and get out my mum’s Bernina . Thank you

[@susancortesi7916]

I found Bernina Jeff during the pandemic. His KZbin tips are extremely helpful. I have learned so much.

[@rosinyberg8747]

Just started watching them too!

[@beverlyness7954]

That's so fabulous that Jeff is giving us all his knowledge about sewing and machines through KZbin. So much of this information is a lost art for our younger people who were not educated by the Mom or a family member as they grew up. Or even in school at Home Ec. Very few kids are being educated on basic stuff like this and way too much education is centered around technology or accessing it for the career they decide to go into. Thanks for the interview with Jeff.

[@gmab4758]

I accidentally discovered him during covid shut down. He is amazing and enjoy his honest tips. I purchased some of his tools and ittle oilers. I love the round screw driver of his. its the best for me because regular ones just don't work well for me. I also love the tiny "q-tips" . I learned so much. I have a 930 Electric one that a very good friend gave me - my first ever Bernina and his information on Berninas is great. However i mostly use Brother and Babylock - and his information is still useful!!

[@SaysVeronica]

Most enjoyable interview! I discovered Bernina Jeff yesterday when I had the 'blue screen of death" come up on my Bernina 720 ... his calm and informative approach is just wonderful!!!

[@judegypsywoman3934]

Jeff is my dealer. Love him. Miss the 18,000 square foot store. He had a sale every November for a week where all quilting cotton was 10% off. The new smaller store is full of wonderful treasures. Looking forward to next May

[@jomohund]

I think I remember some parking lot fabric sales at the old big store. That was a great place!

[@hollywaddell6727]

Great interview, Karen. I have been subscribed to Bernina Jeff for a while now. I bought a Bernina 435 (their 75th Anniversary edition) because my sister had had such good luck with her old Bernina. I also bought the embroidery module for the 435 but have never taken it out of the box. My Bernina dealership is about 165 miles away and they are super knowledgeable and helpful. Thank goodness they have the next generation working with them in the service department. Now I have to see how far I am from Grand Junction ;) .

[@judegreb]

Wonderful man giving so much of himself to help us quilters.

[@cr2884]

This is Cathleen from Nevada, and I Love Bernina Jeff, but I’m not leaving my husband for him :) he’s extremely knowledgeable. I was honored to meet him at the shop and work through a few issues I was experiencing.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I really enjoyed this I interview and I hope you do too. Such a generous spirit, I wish he was my local dealer

[@jonnacrutchfield1112]

He is my local dealer!

[@ShabnamNaqvi]

Dear Karen, I'm a sewist all the way from Pakistan, I bought a Bernina 770qe from Dubai several years ago. After a couple of years I had a problem of the bobbin case getting stuck in the hook, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't detach it from the hook, obviously it meant no sewing till the matter got resolved. I had to send the hook with the bobbin case stuck with it to my dealer in Dubai (Mala is the dealer and the sole agent for Bernina there and a darling indeed) and she helped me replace the hook but I had to buy the bobbin case. Well just a couple of months ago the same fiasco happened again and guess who came to rescue? Bernina Jeff !! He has a video on how to dislodge the bobbin case from the hook. It took seconds to fix the problem. You cannot imagine my relief because Dubai was not an option in times of covid and I did not want to spend incredible amounts of money in transporting the pieces to and fro. I even wrote to thank Bernina Jeff in the comments of that video. Said all that, thank you for this interview. I absolutely love watching your videos. They are precise, well thought out and fantastically executed. Many many thanks for your wonderful input in my life. Your son is in my prayers always. One more thing, please make a video on how to make videos for KZbin of your own. I'm 52 years old, thinking of starting a quality, patchwork channel in my own language, but do not know the first thing about video production. I admire the way you use the computer images to explain piecing combinations and layouts etc. Fantastic work.

[@garnethoover763]

Ive known Jeff when we moved to Grand Junction in 1974, his mom used to cut fabric for my mom❤he stands behind his product!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@sueshast9329]

I watch Bernina Jeff on KZbin. He's very knowledgeable and shares great information.

[@carolynjenkins1557]

I may have turned into a machine collector over time. My favorite machine is my first Bernina, a 730 Record (that has recently been restored). I also own a newer Bernina, B330, a Singer 99k from 1917 and a Singer Featherweight that is my most recent acquisition. I sew garments and quilts and think this all got started from my grandfather who was a garment cutter after WW II who taught me to cut fabric for doll clothes. Loved this episode!

[@maxinecook8736]

Karen, I know this is off topic for today, but I just wanted you to know how thrilled I am feeling today. You have talked about UFO's a lot and a couple weeks ago, I just realized that the project i was avoiding was causing me a lot of stress. 15 years ago, I promised to make my husband a Civil War Reproduction quilt and talked him in to paying $300+ for the fabric. I got a good start and stopped. There it sits in plain sight making faces at me while I tried to ignore it. Then the light bulb came on and I realized I was looking at "Karen's UFO" she has been telling me about. I got it out and started working on it. As the days progressed, I realized that some of what I wanted to do with that quilt was beyond my skill level at that time, I just didn't realize, what my problem was. I am so grateful to you Karen for all you do to help us get over ourselves. Your good advice has helped me so much. I no longer feel like a twit. My project is just not done yet, but I am working on it and can see the end. Thank you so much.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Looking forward to seeing photos

[@michellecornum5856]

I am like one of his clients -- hundreds of miles from someone who could service a machine. When I was a kid, there used to be a local man who went from town to town and down all the backroads, knocking on doors. It was always exciting when he came by!

[@joanntakehara5390]

OMG! I don’t have a Bernina but just binge watched Bernina Jeff’s videos. So much great info! Thanks for introducing him

I just watched this and you both are so pleasant to listen to and learn from. Karen, your questions are wonderful and Jeff, as always is so approachable and sincere. A great interview!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I bought the first Bernina sold at a local quilt shop in my area. My Benina did not get the first check-up and cheaning free (as I was told it would get when I first bought the machine). I had to pay for it and all other services. Now I have trouble catching anyone in that Quilt shop to service my Bernina. Needless to say, I don't get that machine out and use it very much anymore. I'll be making a long trip out of town again (while school is out) to have my Bernina serviced (to be able to put some fancy stitches on my quilt tops). I use my Singer 301 the most. I also have a Singer 221, 228K and three other machines. Thank you for this video and the information about Bernina Jeff. Please stay safe.

[@jennifermott5651]

So I go to work this morning at the local Bernina dealer & quilt store and told one of the other women about Bernina Jeff, and she said, "I saw that video too!!"

[@ronidist1]

Jeff is awesome! Hi fashion was my quilt store for 15 years! Before I moved to Texas, every time I go back to grand junction I always stop by and say hello. They are family. I still send Jeff questions and ask for advice. He is always so willing to help. He is awesome!!!

[@janemariebennett3973]

I have Vikings, a Janome and of course my beloved Featherweight, but I have learned so much from this interview! I have to agree about finding a dealer who will be able to support your purchase - no one will love a machine that they can’t use easily.

[@gmsskills4330]

Holy Smokes! Bernina Jeff is my machine mechanic!!! He is a good man and very helpful to me and my Gunnison Middle School. Thank you Jeff! And I just dropped off 9 machines and I live just over two hours away. See you in a month Jeff! I do a whole humans-as-parts lesson on how the machine is threaded, how it does the sewing, and how the thread goes through the tension. We use a 4 lb yarn ball as the upper thread and a 3 in yarn ball as the bobbin. It is very effective in helping students see how it all works. I tell my students to not touch tension in class but too explain that tension can be adjusted on projects sometimes.

[@misssassifras6605]

I want to say how glad I am that I found you during this pandemic - for so many reasons. Your videos are wonderful, love the "budget" tips, how-to, and projects. I haven't missed one of your interviews - you have introduced to so many amazing people. And the information they've shared has been eye-opening, inspirational, and enlightening. Kudos for taking a mental health break - you look great in this video. Take Care

[@jeanniebee8235]

Love Bernina Jeff. While looking for 'how to' on my new B570 last summer I found his tips and I've shared them with my Bernie friends. I'm so happy Jeff is out there for us who are not close to our dealer.

Great guest , I have watched him so many times . Ordered his oil , bottle and needle holder. I hope I live long enough to go to his shop. He is so right about getting your machine from local dealer .

I am so blessed as Jeff IS my local dealer. His shop is only 3 miles from my home. I have been quilting since 2001 and as a mask maker for the past year I can tell you that my machine just FROZE and I thought oh Lord, I have ruined my machine. (17 yo Janome Memory Craft 6500)! Jeff took it to the back and came back out with it a few minutes later and said "you mask makers need to remember to oil your machines"...It runs like new again. I have taken classes at Hi Fashion and been to a few trunk shows. Now saving for a new Bernina!! Grand Junction suffered from an oil bust in the early 80's and this was like a ghost town. Now we are over 100,000 and Jeff is still here. That itself tells you the quality of his character and work! I love your you tube channel Karen! I never miss and re-watch several (color theory). Thank you for your diversity is sharing so much with all of us sewers.
