Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend to use only BERNINA quality bobbins because using off-brand bobbins can cause unsatisfying thread tension and other problems.
The embroidery motif should not be enlarged or reduced on the machine by more than 20%.
The function "Virtual positioning" was not activated when selecting the hoop. Activate the function so the hoop moves during positioning.
Place tear-away stabilizer underneath the fabric to stabilize it and carefully remove it once you have sewn the stitches.
The frequency of oiling depends on the number of the sewn stitches. We recommend to place a drop of oil onto the hook race before sewing for a longer period, but at least when the machine prompts you. When sewing bigger projects, you can oil the machine once a day.
The "Cut connecting stitches" icon in stitching mode is not active.
The cut length of the connecting stitches is set too high. To change this, go to "Setup", "Embroidery settings", "Automatic cut" and reduce the value.
Always use the smallest possible hoop the motif will allow.
The bobbin winder is activated.
Cut off the upper thread, raise the presser foot, carefully lift the fabric to cut off the lower thread and any twisted threads. Do not pull! Remove the fabric. Remove the bobbin case, open the hook to check whether any thread is tangled in the hook area and remove it. Also check whether there is any thread under the needle plate. Replace the hook, bobbin case, bobbin and needle plate. Check whether the upper thread is threaded correctly and rethread if necessary.
The screen needs calibrating. Select "Setup", "Machine settings" and "Display calibration" and follow the instructions on the screen.
No presser foot is attached.
The 9 mm needle plate is not activated.
The last 24 stitch patterns sewn and their settings are saved and can be selected directly.
There may be several reasons for this:
The door of the hook cover is open. Close it.
The sensor of the lower thread indicator is dirty and needs cleaning.
The lower thread indicator has been deactivated in "Setup". Select "Setup", "Monitoring functions" and "Activating the lower thread indicator".
Combi mode is active ( "+" icon on the screen). Select Combi mode again in order to get back into Single mode.
Yes, but only in combination with using the buttonhole foot with slide #3A.
Formats of various brands can be used:
EXP, DST, PES, PEC, JEF, PCS, SEW, XXX
When the machine is used for the first time.
If the center needle position does not match with the actual center of the motif.
Check the slide speed control on the front of the machine and move to the right. Here you can set the maximum speed setting when sewing with the foot control or use it to adjust the speed when working with the start/stop button.
There may be several reasons for this:
The feed dog is down.
The stitch length is set very small.
The purple or orange template is used, depending on the model.
From the 7-Series, although the Jumbo Hoop will have a limited embroidery area.
The "reverse sewing" function is active. This can be activated or deactivated under "Information".
Necessary when using a second thread for example sewing with the twin needle.
For stacked (parallel wound) threads, use the vertical spool pin to allow the thread to evenly feed off the spool.
Important: use the foam pad as base.
Click on "Setup", "Machine settings" and "Select language" and select the desired language.
Both threads follow the usual threading path, but one passes to the right and the other to the left of the tension disc
Check if there are any pieces of loose thread in the path of the upper thread and remove them.
Touch the appropriate icon to see what changes have been made. Most changes can be undone with "clr".
For attaching the seam guide.
Calibrate the buttonhole foot slide. Select "Setup", "Machine settings" and "Calibrate Buttonhole foot with slide 3A" and follow the instructions.
This is a specially developed bobbin case with high thread tension for the BERNINA hook that is particularly suitable for embroidery and quilting.
The attached Embroidery foot #26 and the needle plate have to be selected.
For attaching BERNINA accessories such as the binder attachment, circular embroidery attachment, hosiery darning hoop, and much more.
For bobbin winding when the machine is threaded for sewing. The thread stands on the horizontal spool pin and is threaded first through the eyelet and then the pre-tension stud.
Use the right kind of stabilizer and, if necessary, several layers depending on the fabric thickness.
The pressure foot hovering height is not set to 0.
Select "Setup", "Sewing settings", "Program buttons and icons" and set the value of "Adjustable hover position" to 0.
A Jumbo Bobbin holds approximately 100 m, depending on the thread. The lower thread sensor notifies you when there is 10% of the thread remaining. This means that there is still approximately 10 m of thread on the bobbin.
The "Fit to screen" function is active (bottom left icon on the screen). Press the icon to deactivate the function.
There may be several reasons for this:
The door of the hook cover is open. Close it.
The sensor of the lower thread indicator is dirty and needs cleaning.
The lower thread indicator has been deactivated in "Setup". Select "Setup", "Monitoring functions" and "Activating the lower thread indicator".
