Bernina Sewing Machine Tips

I owned a Bernina sewing machine shop for 22 years and the most common reason people came to me for Bernina repairs was that they have not been threaded correctly i.e the thread is not seated into the tension disks in the upper tensioner or that the thread is of very poor quality and has varying thickness and slubs / knots.

Always ensure your needle is sharp and the correct size/type for the fabric being used and seated correctly in the needle clamp.

Clean and oil the shuttle race and clear feed dogs regularly. A vacuum cleaner is great to remove dust and lint.
With top load models always ensure you stop with the needle up to avert thread wraps and tangles.

Bernina sewing machines can penetrate up to 8 thicknesses of denim and as with all makes and models a service will help you to achieve a great sewing experience.

All sewing machines need to be serviced regularly and we recommend yearly if using often or every two years with infrequent use.

That will help avoid costly bernina sewing machine repairs.
