Why is my Bernina Sewing Machine creating uneven stitches?
Uneven stitch formation can occur if the upper thread is too tight or too loose, so adjust the upper thread tension. Also, a blunt or bent needle can cause this issue, so change the needle, ensuring you use a new BERNINA quality needle. Poor quality thread can also lead to uneven stitches, so use quality thread. Ensure that the needle matches the thread size. Rethread your machine. Make sure you feed the fabric evenly. Finally, using the incorrect bobbin case can cause this problem, so use the supplied bobbin case with triangles.

Poor quality thread can also cause breakage, so use quality thread. If the stitch plate or hook tip is damaged, contact your BERNINA specialized dealer to eliminate the damages. If the thread is caught in the area of the thread take-up lever, change the stitch plate.
