Important points to note concerning sewing machine needles

The needle size required depends on the thread selected. The needle must match the thread.

When sewing, the thread lies in the long groove to the front of the needle (Fig. 1). If the needle is too fine, the thread will not fit into the groove (Fig. 2) and skipped stitches will result.

Setting zig-zag

The stitch width and length can be altered during sewing or when the machine is stopped. Needle must be out of the work when the machine is stopped.

Oversewing edges

1 Generally, the zig-zag should not be too wide or the stitch length too long. Start by cutting a neat edge. Guide the edge of the fabric to the centre of the foot so that the needle goes alternately into the fabric and then over the edge.

Satin stitch - close zig-zag

We recommend using the Embroidery foot No. 6 (additional accessory).

2 To set the stitch length, turn stitch length knob to the right until it locks (Fig. 2). By rotating HALF a turn to the left (mark at the bottom), the basic setting for satin stitch is obtained. Adjust the stitch density according to the fabric.

Buttonholes with gimp cord

1005

Gimp cord strengthens the buttonhole and is especially important when sewing any type of knitted fabric. The loop of the gimp will lie at the end of the buttonhole where the button will pull.

1 Lay the fabric under the foot and lower the needle into the fabric precisely at the start of the buttonhole. Do not lower the foot yet.
2 Hook the gimp cord over the centre prong of the buttonhole foot and take both ends back under the foot. Sew the buttonhole. At position 2 (reverse straight stitch), the cord comes away from the prong of the foot. Therefore, it is advisable to hold the loop of gimp down LIGHTLY with the finger.
3 Finally, pull the loop of gimp through. With knitted fabrics, thread the gimp ends through to the back with a coarse hand sewing needle and tie or sew in securely. In woven fabrics, the gimp ends can be simply cut off.

Cutting open the buttonholes

4 It is best to cut from each end of the buttonhole towards the centre to prevent cutting through a bar tack.

3 Select stitch width 2 and needle position LEFT. Check if the needle is in the centre of the presser foot. If not, turn the handwheel. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the needle so that it enters the fabric at the exact point where the buttonhole begins (Fabric edge should be in front of the presser foot.) Sew the first bead, lower the needle into the centre of the foot, raise the presser foot and turn the work. Lower the presser foot and raise the needle. Adjust stitch width to 4 for sewing the bar tack. Hold the work and sew a few bar tack stitches. Raise the needle. Adjust stitch width back to 2 and sew the second bead. Raise the needle. Adjust stitch width to 4, hold the work and sew a few bar tack stitches. Adjust stitch width to 0 and sew a few securing stitches.

Buttonhole with gimp cord

1004

Gimp cord strengthens the buttonhole

Gimp cord is especially important for all knitted fabrics. The thickness of the cord depends on the fabric. Suitable cords are: Perle yarn No. 8, thick hand sewing thread or fine crochet cord.

Position the work under the presser foot as illustrated. The loop of the gimp should lie at the end of the buttonhole where the button will pull.

Sewing with gimp cord

1 Using the handwheel, lower the needle to check if it is in the CENTRE of the presser foot. If not, turn the handwheel through one complete turn to raise the needle again. Place the fabric under the foot and lower the needle so that it enters the fabric at the exact point where the buttonhole begins. Do not lower the presser foot yet. Place the gimp to the left of the needle so that it lies in the left groove in the presser foot when the foot is lowered.
2 Sew the buttonhole. After sewing the first bead, lower the needle into the centre of the presser foot, raise the foot and turn the work so that the gimp lies round the needle. Lower the presser foot and continue as described.
3 When buttonhole is complete, pull the gimp loop through. With knitted fabrics, pull the ends through to the wrong side with a coarse hand sewing needle and knot or sew in securely. In woven fabrics, the gimp ends can be simply cut off.

Use the sewing table. Whenever possible, use a darning ring. Lower the feed-dog. Always work from left to right, moving up and down over the hole. It is important to guide evenly when darning. Guide the ring as shown in Fig. 4.

Darning technique

The three steps:

1 Work across hole then turn work through 90^
2 Work again from left to right then turn work through 180°.
3 Fill in the darn, but only across the "hole". The stitches will be in the same direction so that they blend in with the second row.

Fault prevention

If the sewing machine does not sew properly, it is usually due to incorrect use.

Check whether:

The upper and lower threads are correctly threaded.
The needle has been correctly inserted with the flat side of the shank to the rear.
The needle size is correct. See needle and thread table.
The machine is clean. Brush away any thread remnants.
The hook race is clean and lubricated.
Any remnants of thread are trapped between the thread tension disc and beneath the bobbin case spring.

Upper thread breaks

The upper thread tension is too tight.
Poor quality needles. Ideally, needles should be purchased from a BERNINA dealer.
The needle has been incorrectly inserted. The flat side of the shank must be to the rear.
The needle is blunt or bent.
Poor quality thread, knotted or dried-out thread.
- Stitch plate or hook tip damaged. Take to a BERNINA dealer.

Lower thread breaks

The lower thread tension is too tight.
The bobbin is jamming in the bobbin case. Replace bobbin.
The hole in the stitch plate has been damaged by the needle. This must be repolished by an expert.
The needle is blunt or bent.

Needle breaks

-Needle clamp screw not sufficiently tightened.
Fabric withdrawn forwards instead of backwards under the presser foot.

• When sewing over a thick area, the fabric was pushed while needle still in the fabric. Use a Jeans foot.
  Poor quality thread, unevenly wound or knotted.
