It should be stitch #4, you just have to increase the length and the width of the stitch. Just google it, specific to your machine. It really makes it easier if you just use your regular stitch and make your own serpentine, it goes a lot faster than using the actual stitch!

I have a Bernina Virtuoso 153 and a 155, a 1006 school model and an 803 or maybe an 830? I can’t find the serpentine stitch on the Virtuoso but the dealer says it’s there. I really wish I could find it. I used it on an old machine and liked it instead of sitd. I don’t use the other stitches anymore, but maybe I will on some of the small charity quilts I’ve lately made. I used to use a stitch that had a heart in it.

I rarely use my decorative stitches, now that I think about it. Maybe I should brush up on them :)

I have a vintage Montgomery Wards machine that has a wide serpentine stitch, but I haven't used it much.

I don't use four of my machines. I only use two straight stitch only machines. The four has all kinds of stitches, don't want to mess with them.

I programmed in a serpentine on the 2144. |
I love my serpentine stitch. also the heirloom or buttonhole. a lot of the other stitches have uses, not just decorative.
I love my zig zag because I love doing applique and where would I be without them. |
My "baby" is my Bernina Artista 180, then my Viking 830 for its larger harp, then my most resent purchase my Janome HD3000. Lastly my Bailey 20" which I need to practice on. I was looking at the newer machines (gasp....$12,000 +) and I noticed some of the stitches they 'offer'. They have a lot of the same ones of which I have n e v e r cared about!!! My own personal take on these new machines is I think sewing machine manufacturers ought to for the price they are asking for their 500 plus built in stitches is to offer sewers to 'pick' the stitches they would prefer. Me...I would love to have a machine that I can have at least 30 different font types and have the ability NOT to have the balloons or teddy bear or boat built in (etc.) type stitches. For what they charge I don't see how this could not be possible.

I have a Pfaff 5.0 and it has the serpentine and blanket stitch patterns. But I cannot do a satin stitch with it. The computer will not allow me to reduce the stitch length on the zigzag enough. I find that very annoying.

How did you do that?
I'll look and see what I have in the 1471 Treadleart mags, and the 1475 user manual. The big one that showed programming and stitches. As for the blanket stitch. Look at how your Bernina stitches. Using the same method as above, enter the blanket stitch with the same number of components. I got hooked on B00L00 and had most of Elna's heirloom stitches in the 1471 |
