Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use off-brand bobbins?
We recommend to use only BERNINA quality bobbins because using off-brand bobbins can cause unsatisfying thread tension and other problems.

My Stitchout App cannot find the machine
  1. Is my machine a BERNINA 790 PRO or a BERNINA 990? No other model currently offers this feature.
  2. Is the machine's WiFi turned on?
 
  1. Is the machine connected to the desired WiFi? Compare with smartphone. The name of the WiFi (SSID) must be absolutely identical on the smartphone and the machine.
  2. Is the machine in stitchout mode? Only then can the connection between the machine and the smartphone take place.
  3. In a guest WiFi, the devices may not be able to connect to each other.
  4. Is the machine and the smartphone logged in to the same WiFi? Turn WiFi off and on again on the machine and smartphone. Try again.

The Stitchout App finds my machine, but can't connect it
  1. Is the machine in stitchout mode?
  2. If this happens frequently, please enter the machine manually with SSID and password. See the operating instructions «Setting up WiFi connections»
  3. The WiFi regularly reassigns the IP address and therefore no longer finds the machine. Turn the machine off and on or reselect the WiFi and enter the password.

The Stitchout App does not show the embroidery progress
  1. If the smartphone was in sleep mode during embroidery, the machine must be connected in the app or Stichout app must be restarted.
  2. If the smartphone is no longer within range of your WiFi network, the embroidery progress can no longer be displayed, you only receive the messages.
  3. If the number of stitches in the embroidery design exceeds 100,000, the pattern preview will no longer be displayed.

How often should the machine be oiled?
The frequency of oiling depends on the number of the sewn stitches. We recommend to place a drop of oil onto the hook race before sewing for a longer period, but at least when the machine prompts you. When sewing bigger projects, you can oil the machine once a day.

The machine is running very slow.
Check the slide speed control on the front of the machine and move to the right. Here you can set the  maximum speed setting when sewing with the foot control or use it to adjust the speed when working with the start/stop button.
 

My machine doesn't see/find my WiFi network
  1. Is my machine's WiFi activated/logged in?
  2. Is my router turned on? To check: is my smartphone or other device connected to my WiFi network and working? Usually indicated with LED's on the router.
  3. Is my router enabled on 2.4 GHz? If not, please turn on/enable 2.4 GHz on the router. Many smartphones show in the WiFi settings which frequencies are set. For the check, access via a browser is usually necessary or the service provider can provide information.
  4. The machine is too far away from the router! Please compare with your smartphone (show the signal strength on the display) and, if necessary/possible, place the machine closer to the router. This is at least for verification.
  5. Is my WiFi hidden SSID? If so, then please set the configuration to visible or, alternatively, the SSID can be entered manually into the machine, see the operating instructions "Setting WiFi connections".
  6. Turn the WiFi router off and on again.
  7. After changing the name of the machine in the setup program, the machine must be switched off and on so that the connection can be activated and established.

What should I do if the message with gears appears?
Cut off the upper thread, raise the presser foot, carefully lift the fabric to cut off the lower thread and any twisted threads. Do not pull! Remove the fabric. Remove the bobbin case, open the hook to check whether any thread is tangled in the hook area and remove it. Also check whether there is any thread under the needle plate. Replace the hook, bobbin case, bobbin and needle plate. Check whether the upper thread is threaded correctly and rethread if necessary.

My machine can't connect to my WiFi
  1. Does the router have a filter for MAC addresses? If so,
  2. Include the machine in the MAC addresses filter or
  3. Enable/disable the MAC address filter in the router.
  4. If the WiFi network is a business network, then a higher encryption may be required, e.g. WPA3 Enterprise. The BERNINA machine cannot do this, it supports WPA2 and WPA3 Personal.
  5. Re-enter the password for the desired WiFi network (SSID).
  6. Turn the WiFi router off and on again.
  7. After changing the name of the machine in the setup program, the machine must be switched off and on to connect.

The screen is not responding
The screen needs calibrating. Select "Setup", "Machine settings" and "Display calibration" and follow the instructions on the screen.

Whats the use of the vertical spool pin?
Necessary when using a second thread for example sewing with the twin needle.
For stacked (parallel wound) threads, use the vertical spool pin to allow the thread to evenly feed off the spool.
Important: use the foam pad as base.

The lower thread indicator is not responding
There may be several reasons for this:
The door of the hook cover is open. Close it.
The sensor of the lower thread indicator is dirty and needs cleaning.
The lower thread indicator has been deactivated in "Setup". Select "Setup", "Monitoring functions" and "Activating the lower thread indicator".

When is 'Manual Threading' used?

Whenever 'Automatic Threading' isn't possible, i.e. when using a twin or triple needle, a wing needle, needle no. 60 and when using the following presser feet: #50, #55, #80, #85, #86, #93.
