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.

[@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.

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

[@lanapayne593]

Thanks for the tutorial. Well done!

[@steffany9309]

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?

[@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.

[@user-ml3os6sx7u]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! So helpful.

[@user-pc2ov6tj6v]

Thanks so much you're a good teacher

[@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.

Fantastic 😊

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

[@robertward8037]

[@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?

[@ALFREEDATV]

[@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 🙂

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)

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@carleen4you851]

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