  Michael CarterAug 21, 2025
  Skipped stitches on your Bernette Sewing Machine can be caused by several factors. Ensure you are using the correct needle system 130/705H. A blunt or bent needle can also cause this issue, so replace the needle. Using a new BERNINA quality needle is also important. Check that the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side to the back, as far up as it will go into the needle holder, and that the screw is tightened. Finally, ensure that the needle point matches the texture of the material you are sewing.

  Travis LangAug 22, 2025
  Uneven stitch formation on your Bernette Sewing Machine can occur due to several reasons. The upper thread might be too tight or too loose, so try adjusting the upper thread tension. The needle could be blunt or bent, in which case you should replace it with a new BERNINA quality needle. It may also be caused by a poor-quality needle or thread, so ensure you're using quality materials. An incorrect needle/thread combination or incorrect threading could also be the cause, so match the needle to the thread size and rethread the machine. If the fabric has been pulled, make sure to feed it evenly.

  Ann HaysAug 26, 2025
  Faulty stitching on your Bernette Sewing Machine can arise from a few issues. Thread remnants might be lodged between the thread tension discs; to resolve this, fold a piece of thin material and slide the folded edge (not the raw edges) between the thread tension discs. Ensure the machine is correctly threaded by rethreading it. Also, check if the thread is caught in the hook; if so, remove the upper thread and the bobbin case, turn the handwheel backwards and forwards by hand, and remove any thread remnants. Finally, verify that you are using the correct needle/thread combination.

  Needle breakage on your Bernette Sewing Machine can occur if the needle is incorrectly inserted. Make sure to insert the needle with the flat side to the back, pushing it as far up as it will go into the needle holder, and then tighten the screw. If the fabric has been pulled, ensure you feed it evenly. Pushing thick fabric can also cause the needle to break; in this case, use the appropriate presser foot, such as Jeans foot No. 8 for thick material. Finally, knotted thread can lead to breakage, so use quality thread.
