ASTERING BERNINA ® virtuosa 153 QE/163 BERNINA ® THREADS Poor quality or the wrong type of thread can cause poor stitches on any machine. Thread passes through the eye of the needle approximately 37 times in a “see-saw” action before it forms a single stitch. Poor quality thread results in crooked and looped stitches, puckered seams, frayed thread, and/or needle breakage. ASTERING BERNINA ® virtuosa 153 QE/163 BERNINA ® NEEDLES Along with thread, needles are very important to stitch formation.
Many “mechanical” problems and damage to fabrics can be traced to a bent, damages, or incorrect size or type needle. Approximately 60% of all needles made are discarded at some stage of production.

Continue stitching the remaining steps of the buttonhole. If I continue sewing I have a super long line of narrow heavy zig zag. This manual does NOT tell me how to continue the steps. Such as 'Now that you have reached the end of side 1 press??? And make the bar tack then press?????? To make the 3rd side.
When you get back to the top of the button hole press???? And make the top bar tack. Now your button hole is complete". So I am sitting here needing to make 24 button holes and am going to go get my Montgomery Wards sewing machine out because their manual lists each step and how to do it.
I guess I could always use this one and do each step by pushing different options like sew the button hole side then switch to a wide stitch zig zag then switch the machine back to #9 and press the back button then switch it again to a minimal length wide zig zag to make the top bar. Your manuals aren't very good. L Frey Dec 20, 2014 07:34.
