BERNINA sewing machines tend to be passed from one generation to the next, and many of these machines are still stitching as happily as ever. This section contains the Owner's Manuals that are sadly, no longer available in print. These scanned manuals are available for printing and downloading so that you may get the. Mar 28, 2014. I only have one 'stitch plate' for my 1530. There is a slotted hole and a small hole in this one plate. I sew in the slotted hole all the time and do not know how to access the 'single hole' position you recommend for quilting. I have read my Instruction Manual but, so far, have not been able to find how to get my.

Bigger quilts are more difficult to managethat's why we all quilt easily on a 16' practice square but free motion becomes much more challenging on a larger quilt sandwich. Sue is correctwhen quilting at a sit-down machine, any type of DRAG IS YOUR ENEMY. The key is to support the weight of the entire quilt on your table (or adjacent tables). Some people fold or roll a larger quilt; most of us puddle or pool the quilt so that we can work on a small, supported section at a time but all of the surrounding quilt is resting on the table. Some find it helpful to use a tool: either Sharon Schamber's hoops or the Martelli rings to help your hands control movement of the quilt sandwich without strain or fatigue. On the smaller DSM (as opposed to George) you need to make sure that the quilt sandwich is not getting hung up at the base of the machine, either.

That's why extra throat space gives you such an advantage. Lucy gives good advice too. A straight stitch throat plate will help make a better stitch quality during free motion. Try thinking about starting very slowly and taking your first stitch in the same hole before moving on. It takes awhile to master starts & stops. You'll get it!

Nancy in Tucson. Hi.don't know your name. Does your machine sit down in the table (sewing surface even with table surface) or on top of the table?

Sinking it into the table or cabinet is huge. Just that 3' differential of the machine on top of the table can create major drag on the quilt sandwich. But your machine itself is terrific. I use my Bernina 1530 almost every day.

I quilted on my 1530 for many yearseven king sized quilts! It is much more difficult physically on a DSM (I developed a lot of pain in my shoulders & upper arms) but it can be done and done well. If you hold the quilt in your lap (or sling it over your shoulder) there must still be some 'play' in the part that is on the bed of the sewing machine so that you can move it freely. It's a pleasure to quilt on George nowstill sitting down and moving the fabric under the needle but with a substantial table space and a 20' throat.

Please let us know how you do with our suggestions. Best, Nancy in Tucson. Drivers Tacho Card Ireland here.

Hi Nancy My name is Pat. My 1530 sits down in my table with a Lexan top. I am going to change the throat plate this weekend and see how that does. I did quilt a queen size quilt for my husband and had to roll the quilt and throw it across my shoulder.it turned out fairly nice. I have quilted some baby quilts using the darning foot and moving the fabric but my stitches were not all that good, some long, some perfect. I can not even imagine using my 1530 for a king size quilt. I was told by quilt guild member that all that can be done on my 1530 is straight stitching, so I just stick to that type stitching now.

I have to say I love my 1530 and wouldn't trade it for anything other than a longer arm machine. Thanks for your input. Pat in Texas. Thanks Nancy. I only have one 'stitch plate' for my 1530. There is a slotted hole and a small hole in this one plate. I sew in the slotted hole all the time and do not know how to access the 'single hole' position you recommend for quilting. M Macbeth Serial there.

I have read my Instruction Manual but, so far, have not been able to find how to get my needle into position to use the single needle hole. Any advice on that? I have made a couple of baby quilts using my #9 darning foot that came with the 1530, but had difficulty keeping my stitches uniform so went back to straight stitching again. I am sure it is just me and not having (or taking) I time to practice, practice, practice. I have the oldest Bernina in my quilt guild. Almost all of them have the 'top of the line' Bernina's. Thanks for your input.

Pat in Texas. Pat, The stitch plate with the single hole is one that you purchase from your Bernina dealer and just switch out with the one that came with your machine. Just remember to change back again before you use a zig zag or decorative stitch or you will get a rude awakening and a broken needle! I use one when I am piecing as the fabric doesn't get pulled into the needle hole on the plate. Your machine probably works better than some of the newer models. My older Bernina is much more reliable than the newer one.

I will go to my local Bernina dealer and see if she can get me a 'single hole throat plate'. I am glad to know I need to buy one as I was starting to think I was just missing it, over and over, in my book. I will also ask her to get me a #24 foot (old style) and make me some practice sandwich blocks to practice on. I can see that an open toe would allow a better view of the quilting area. I truly want to thank everyone that has given me information on this forum. There is so much to learn about machine quilting. I will also try to find a copy of Sue Nickels machine quilting book.

I am just blown away by what I do not know. You all make It is easier to ask questions here than at my guild meetings because I always feel like I am the only one there that doesn't know anything - I am sure this is not so, but I feel like it.

I am going to follow all your advice and I will get back to you all later and let you know how I am progressing. Again, Thanks Pat in Texas. Pat, you have been given some great advice.

Other than Emmeline (my 2011 Freedom SR), my 'youngest' machine is my Bernina 930 that I bought in 1984. (I also have 2 Featherweights.) I can't even imagine how fancy your 1530 is compared to my Bernina, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I also learned about the straight-stitch throat plate after I started quilting, as well as the open-toe darning foot, and they did make life easier. Classes at a quilt shop that was also a Bernina dealer really helped me learn about my machine, and that was 12-15 years after I got it, so it definitely was not top of the line anymore! One trick I use is to tape a piece of colorful paper over my stitch width dial (yes, I have an actual dial for this) when I am using my straight-stitch throat plate. That way, I can't change the stitch width or needle position without moving the paper, and then I remember to change my throat plate, too. You are right about this forum being a great place to ask questions.

I have learned a lot from the generous and knowledgeable members here! Pat, I did most of my early sewing on my mom's Bernina 830 she got around 1973. Truth be told, I used it more than she did! So when I got my very own Bernina, I thought I knew everything. Even now, I have to check the manual every so often, and discover something new in the process.

I think classes from a dealer would be really helpful for you, or maybe you could find some tutorials on You Tube. Also, if you'd like some Bernina inspiration, check out Lori Kennedy's In Box Jaunt blog.

She does fantastic free motion tutorials, and has lots of good ideas, all on DSM Berninas without stitch regulation. Someone else posted a link to her blog a couple of months ago, and I have been loving it!! I will look up Lori Kennedy's in Box Jaunt blog. I would love to see someone doing free motion on a Bernina that does not have stitch regulation.

I have been looking at a website, of Leah Day, and get weekly newsletters on how to do free motion quilting, but haven't tried any of her tutorials yet. Even tho I look at it I am not all that sure I can do it. When I get a better foot and single hole throat plate I am going to try out some of her samples and for sure I will look at Kori's website. Thanks for the information Betsy.
