That's my biggest issue with the older Bernina I use now...there's no way to change the pressure on the feet....I just bought a used Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 830....and once again I can change settings on it. By the way...that 40+ year old Kenmore still works like a new one!

You know since I posted this I can't find the pressure setting on my Bernina....I have a 350PE....I don't think it has one....I was so looking forward to messing with this too....I'll have to give the LQS where I bought it a call...I've only had this machine for 3 mths....I may just have to live with my puckering after all.

I have reduced the pressure on my foot when quilting and it really does make a difference. Good results for sure.

Valuable information and simple enough directions that even a beginner like me could understand it!

Thanks.

Thank you for the great tutorial

Very good information, thank-you for the link.

This sure was timely information for me. I just finished quilting a donation quilt and had a terrible time with puckers for the first time. I realized after seeing this video that I had changed the pressure setting when working with jeans fabric and never changed it back! Thank you SO much for posting!

Thanks for the link...

Is this information still relevant if you are using a walking foot?
