Dear Sherri, welcome to the Bernina world. I've loved Berninas since my first one in 1997. I know you will love the precision, dependability, and the fabulous stitch quality in every Bernina. I have several Bernina machines and I wouldn't give them up for anything. Please keep us updated on how you love your new machine.

Congratulations on the new machine! I got a combo embroidery/sewing machine from my hubby for our anniversary a few years ago. I love it! He got a great deal on it but, it was almost the price of a small car. I could not believe he bought it! He told me we were going to look at it and it was there waiting for me to bring home! I cried right there in the store. I still have my first machine that a neighbor gave me when my children were small. Back then all I thought I could do was sew curtains and make Halloween costumes. Now I embroider and quilt every day and I love it!

I love you guys! I was gifted a Brother Pacesetter 23 years ago and purchased a new Brother se 600 a year ago. My 94 year old Memaw, we call her The Memaw because she is responsible for creating our great family, unfortunately we had to put her in a nursing home as she no longer could stay by herself. Now we are preparing her house to sell. I am the only one that sews, so guess where all her sewing things went?? Yep ME!!!! 3 sewing machines from before 1980,one is a JCPenney brand and one Kenmore, a a Singer, 2 sergers and a black one that's missing 😢, 30 tubs of fabric and almost 20 bolts. Both JCPenney and Kenmore machines are all metal and sew beautifully, better than my Brother! And i have her mother's (my great grandmothers) sewing machine, she did so much sewing. She made clothes for people and did alterations as well. Billy asked what's the difference between sewing machines of back then and now. I love the bells and whistles of newer machines but found I love the hearty feel of sewing on the older ones. Most newer machines have computers and so many things can go wrong with computer driven machines. The older ones are like work horses they each have a few different stitches available but no computer. I honestly wish I had gotten one of her machines a while back. Anyway, you guys are the best part of my Mondays!!! Thank you!!

Chelsi - I have almost exclusively used Husqvarna Viking machines for the past 40+ years. Given that PFAFF, Husqvarna Viking, & Singer are now all under one "umbrella" (aka, SVP Worldwide), I would suggest that anyone looking for a new machine think of the brands like this: Singer is the budget-friendly line; Husqvarna Viking is their mid-range, and PFAFF is the top of the line brand. The good news is, Viking & PFAFF dealers will take an older machine as a trade-in, which will reduce the price. Parts are interchangable (for the most part) between PFAFF & Viking. That said, there is now a PFAFF model which is not only WiFi capable (as are many of the lower priced models & Viking models), but it also has a Siri-like AI component - you can now talk to your top of the line PFAFF! However, all of that comes with a pretty heavy duty price tag - around $20K. But, these machines are absolutely amazing, and real workhorses.

I started with my mom's Necchi with cams. Fast forward to post retirement, I got back into sewing with a Brother and once I started quilting I needed something heavy duty so I sold my Brother and got a Juki TL18-QVP. I needed another machine that did more than straight stitch and being my age and this will be my last machine purchase I got a Juki DX-4000 has a 12" throat space and lots of features 🤪 so very Blessed

Thank you all for this episode. I have gone back and forth on what I want in a new machine. I have a Kenmore that is about 30 years old. Was gifted another from a friend's mom that is over 50 years old. I am ready for a machine that will make buttonholes without me having to stand on my head! I also see the Juki TLs and think they would be good to have as well. Retiring in 5 months and will have more time to sew. Therefore, I want good...but not to break the bank. Love that you get floor models and/or buy from a friend. I am so tired of sales people who seem to look down on my refusal to take out a second mortgage for a new machine...or two.

I had a Singer I bought in 1980… used it until 2007 when I found my BabyLock Ellure Plus on sale and my daughter told my husband about it and he bought it for me for Christmas that year. I used it to sew dresses and outfits for my granddaughters and I embroidery shirts, towels and gifts. I began my quilting journey on it maybe 8-9 years ago? I still have it but now I also have the BabyLock Accomplish which looks just like the Juki. I use them both, depending on what project I’m working on. I just made my granddaughter a pillow from your Laura Ingalls panel and added some 2 1/2 inch squares around the panel for her graduation gift. I can’t wait to give it to her!

Love that machine, but for traveling I have a simple Bernette Sew & Go. Also have a ‘54 Singer featherweight that sews like a dream.

Enjoyed this show so much, and congratulations on 100,000 followers! That is quite a milestone. I have had a series of Bernina's and have loved them all except for 1. A few years before I retired I decided to upgrade my Bernina & got the Bernina 880 Plus. It cost me a small fortune. I moved out of state a couple years later and no longer lived near the dealer who sold me the machine. And, to add to it, the dealer who had sold me the machine passed away and her husband closed the shop. During the pandemic I was asked to make Christmas stockings for 3 of my grandchildren. I like to appliqué them and thought the new machine (I had never really used it that much so still seemed brand new to me) would do a great job with that. Oh my goodness! What a mistake. I almost lost my mind. That machine was just way too much for me for quilting. The foot pedal was programmed which I did not realize and thought it was possessed. It would sometimes just cut my thread right in the middle of me doing a decorative stitch. I had no idea that where I pressed that pedal would cause it to do so many things. I called a dealer who was local to where I now lived and told her my machine was possessed. She was so patient and kind. I wanted to buy a machine from her right then & there, but she actually talked me out of it and said I should take some of the mastery classes which were now online due to it being during the pandemic. I did what she said, and that is when I realized the machine was NOT possessed. I just did not know how to operate it correctly. I plowed through the classes and was able to finish the 3 Christmas stockings. However, I never really felt good about that machine. It weighed a ton, and I only utilized a small portion of what it could really do. I like to quilt and had no desire to do clothes making again. A couple years later I got rid of that machine and got a Bernina 770 QE. I loved that machine. And, then when the Kaffe Fassett machines came out, I went back and got the 770 Plus QE with embroidery unit. I have never looked back. Both machines are just awesome, and the Kaffe machine is so pretty as well. Sometimes getting the BEST or top of the line machine is not the greatest idea in the world. I learned a big lesson (and an expensive lesson) by buying the top of the line machine.

I love my Pfaff and recently bought a new one. I love the IDT system - you don't need a walking foot. The new one cuts the thread with the touch of a button which I didn't have with the old one. Saves a lot of thread. My old one (about 23 years old) still works so keeping it for backup. The past few years I have really gotten into hand piecing which I love so the machine doesn't get as much of a workout as in the past. Love listening to you all!

Not a bad price for a beginner and It is so heavy duty especially when sewing layers and my foot control cuts my thread!! Love it! I use it mostly but my Bernina is a beautiful machine too! I love all of the things that can be done with it❤ plus embroidery! I was fortunate to buy a used Bernina with little time on it for $2500 a few years ago and back in the earlier 2000’s it was around $16,000! Both machines are great but everyday use for me is my Juki😊 I bought it for my birthday last year and no regrets!

I have been a Bernina girl for 25 years and currently sewing on a 590. One thing I love about Bernina is the vast selection of feet. There are many that are wonderful for quilters. You may want to look into purchasing The Big Book of Feet it is wonderful and goes into great detail on every single foot that Bernina makes. Foot 71 is great for binding and there are a few videos here on KZitem that will help you understand how to use it. There are a few choices for 1/4" feet and many videos on them. I know you will become a big fan of Bernina the more you get used to your machine. I am so happy for you!! You also should check out Bernina Jeff - he is our KZitem king when it comes to Bernina machines and how to care for them. Sewing with Cody and Pete is another wonderful Bernina channel. He is very thorough with his videos - just like you are!! I am getting ready to use one of your patterns to make my precious 85 year old housebound mother a lap quilt. I just have to decide which one. Love your channel so much and thank you from my heart for all the videos.

The cool thing is the attachments that came with it. The ingenuity of those attachments is remarkable. I also have a Baby Lock Crescendo which is a quilter’s edition machine with a huge throat and came with 13 feet including a digital walking foot. Love the needle up/down option, the auto threader, and the knee lever to lift the foot. What is cool is I have an attachment and can use my BL feet on my Featherweight.

Kept that til it died several years later and then purchased the Juki QVP2000 - my forever machine, if I won the lottery tomorrow would buy another for a backup. It has s few more features than the Singer, otherwise would have bought another Singer Confidence Quilter, it sewed like a dream, just happened to go to a quilt show a few days after it died and found tried out some machines there. The Juki hummed along like the Singer but had extra features that I love and use all the time, cost $1500 at the time but worth every penny.

I think you’ll like having a Bernina with the maximum stitch width of 5.5 mm. I upgraded to a 9 mm stitch width machine, and it is difficult to get an accurate 1/4-inch seam allowance on. Everyone needs to discover their own method. If you do any quilting or binding you definitely need a walking foot.

Sherri, My husband is not happy with you as I just bought a new sewing machine. I have the Bernina 440 QE actually three of them with one out of state in our vacation condo. I went to look at the Bernina's specifically Sherri's model mainly for the thread cutter and larger bobbin. Previously I considered getting a Juki but, I don't even sew at full speed on my Bernina. I ended up getting the Bernina 570QE because of the dual feed. Hopefully my nesting seams will not flip as much when piecing and I won't have to put on my walking foot as much which is a pain. I also like a little larger throat on the 570QE and it will still fit in my old quilter's dream sewing cabinet.

Chelsi, the person who turned around and said " you don't know how to fill the bobbin should be ashamed of herself; you never do that to someone especially a younger someone. You could make that person feel so dumb that they stop sewing. And what go me into quilting was me, I am a very driven person. When I was growing up I wanted to sew so bad I could taste it and the only sewing machine we had was my grandmother's old 1929 treadle machine, but it needed a new strap that moved the needle up and down from the pedal and we didn't have it and my mother was always hung up on "we can't afford that" or she didn't know where to go for it. Because honestly right now they are under $2.00 so back in the 70's they probably just about gave them away. When I was pregnant with my first baby I went out and bought a used sewing machine and made bumper pads for the babies cradle, no pattern I just did it. My voculary didn't include I don't know how if I didn't know how then I was just going to learn. I sewed lots of clothes and crafts and clothes for myself and in my early twenties I decided I wanted to make a quilt and of course it couldn't be an easy one it was all appliqued and I hand quilted it, it was a queen size quilt, crazy woman lol. Sherri congratulations on your new sewing machine. And Chelsi I am not sure if I bought your lazy daisy pattern or not I will have to check my Etsy account and if not I will be getting it, I love it. Thanks for the great pod cast as usual. Tracy in Idaho

I was like Chelsi- talking about sewing machines?? 😂 But I really enjoyed this episode! I have a question about needles for your machine. Do you use a different needle to piece your quilt versus machine quilting? And what size needle do you use? 90/14 or 70/11 etc.?

?? Thanks so much for another great episode. I have two Berninas. One is a 220 which is a small sewing machine that I take to retreats. The other is an 880 which is an embroidery/sewing combo. I have still not mastered a quarter inch seem and was thinking about getting a Juki to help with that. I have also looked at the machine Sherri just got. Like you, I love the color. It’s so bright and cheerful. What would you recommend for someone who can’t seem to get the quarter inch seem right? Thanks so much!

That's funny that you all have been quilting for so long and you are not familiar with other sewing machines that have the bells and whistles. I would think that you would familiarize yourself with the other machines in the brand that you use. I definitely do my homework. You never know when you may need to upgrade. Some of use quilters refer to computerized sewing machines as having a Brain!😁Sometimes I forget how to fill my bobbin. I have 2 machines and flip flop between the two so, sometimes I have a brain fart. And I love change! If I don't something I get bored. 😋

For some reason I noticed the ladder rail behind Chelsie, and now it bugs me . . It's the same color as her hair + looks kinda weird. Pls move it! Love you guys!

I have a Bernina and I like that you do not need a screwdriver to change the presser foot. You just push back a lever and switch it out.

I have a Janome Continental M7 and my reason for the purchase shy of $5,000.00 is because of the 13” throat space that I need to do ruler work and free motion. I will always be doing my own quilts so that helped justify the price of the machine and I do love my machine. I also have an industrial brother that I love as a back up for just basic sewing. Congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers love your videos and quilts, fabric designs. Thanks for sharing all that you all do. 👍❤️🙂

I use a featherweight sewing machine when I go quilting every week. I love it and it is small enough to care.

I have been blessed to have several machines ranging from a featherweight and treadles to computerized and embroidery machines and a mid arm. … I still tell family that none of them come with features for mending. Wink wink. 😉
