Sewing Machine for Beginners | Bernina 830 Record | Learn How to Use a Sewing Machine

[@MargaretHendrickson-o1c]

My mother-in-law gave me this machine when she down-sized. My Singer just broke and I didn't look forward to "learning" a new machine. I read the instruction manual and was just playing around online when I found this video. Thanks, Carleen, for this resource. I have a project that I need to complete posthaste for my new book. This will make the learning curve much less curve-y!

Pink banana😂 I just inherited this machine. So excited to get it tuned up and ready to roll! Thanks for the great video.

Pink banana!! Thank you for teaching me how to use the machine I just inherited

[@SharonSoko-z3g]

Thanks so much you're a good teacher

[@henryguveya3233]

Pink banana. Someone gave me this type of machine. I am a learner, and it's very easy for me to operate. Thanks for your educative video.

[@susankennedy5739]

Carleen, this is an excellent video, thank you! I just bought a Bernina 830 Record and love your slow-motion close-ups in threading the bobbin (my immediate concern!) and your beautiful directions for opening up all the parts of the machine.

This is really helpful. You are a good teacher

I inherited this machine from my mom a few years ago and just love it. I had a cheaply made 1990 Pfaff before that which was mostly plastic and I can really tell the difference with an all metal machine. The old ones are the best! My bobbin tension is messed up and I can't sew stretch knits very well. Any tips for these issues?

[@MelanieSturgeon-n2p]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! So helpful.

[@mehere779]

All of the 800 series machines were SO good. The 830 was top of the line as it had the most stitches, and a slighlly wider throat space than the other 800's (but only ~ 10mm). They were expensive (very) at the time too.

[@lanapayne593]

Thanks for the tutorial. Well done!

[@zaphod_beeblerox]

i have this machine my mum got when i was born we both just turned 52!

Pink banana 🎉great video!

[@lisagreen2532]

This is an excellent video. I have a 50-year-old 830 Record and I love it so much. I would love to see a video about using a double needle with this machine. Would it create a cover stitch?

[@mehere779]

It will create two lines of stitching on top, with a sigle thread zi-zagging across underneath. Not a genuine cover stitch, but it will stretch. You may have to drop the top tension a bit or increase the bobbin tension to get it the way you want it to look. That's a bit trial and error.

[@vaughngaminghd]

Pink bananas and thanks for the informative video. Fantastic machine for 50 Euros!

[@arrowheadrox]

Fantastic 😊

[@madonnadefore3239]

To sew buttons on do you drop feed dogs and do a zig zag?

[@carleen4you851]

I would sew buttons manually, just to make sure they are properly sewn 🙂

[@maryannwise2179]

Pink banana! How do you oil this machine? Thanks for an informative video !

[@carleen4you851]

Yes, I should've shown how to oil the machine as well ☺

[@mehere779]

Open the top (pull the "nose" outwards to the left then lift the top - it just clicks open) Open the top of the arm (press the lever inside the bobbin area - top left). Turn the machine by hand and oil anything that moves or rotates. You can do more, but for routine maintenance that'll be enough. Use high quality oil made for sewing machines. Don't overdo it as it will attract dirt and lint. Oil the bottom of the hook race - as a rule of thumb - for every new bobbin.

[@farzanehheidari-ic7yw]

Hi,thans,how to remove old oil from bernina mashine ?

[@mehere779]

Kerosine will dissolve old solidified oil. Penetrating oil may help if something is seized, if that fails heat (hairdryer - heat gun if you are REALLY REALLY careful as it will ruin paint if you get things too hot)

[@williamyoung4641]

Pink Bananas!! Woohoo What do you think would be the necessary needles and foot accessories for making a heavy duty bag with webbing straps?

[@andreamontoya3974]

I’m sewing on a fleece material. My bobbin thread is loose, what is causing that?

[@Jimthetraveller]

What is the best needle for this machine? Singer type???

[@carleen4you851]

You can buy it from Bernina and I would recommend 130/705B needle

[@cuitebapounakini-kp3pz]

Please why is my own different stitches not coming out? Mine only sew on a straight line please help me

[@youpeng100]

You have to put the right hand lever on top of the machine on 1-20 and you also have to put the machine on zig-zag.

[@denamathias1773]

Wrong!! The Bernina 830 is far from being a "beginner" machine. Yes, it's a basic machine, but it's a work horse. Why do you think they've held their value and are still happily stitching at 40 plus years old? I consider myself an advanced seamstress, having been a costume designer and builder for over half my life. My Bernina 830 is my "go to" machine of choice (over all these modern, computerized, plastic, pieces of garbage machines). The 830's stitch quality is incomparable, and it will sew through almost anything. Please stop calling the 830 a beginner machine. Do your research.
