Thank you. I got my B77 in 2023 and it’s been a wonderful experience so far. I’ve made many things very quickly!! I just tried everything here in the video demo that you showed and it was fast and easy to make quilted panels for a backpack that I’m working on. Thank you! This changes everything! Also, in a year, I had not even used the computer guide to show the foot, thread, needle and stitch suggestions!!! 😅

Thank you. I am going to give this a try. I am so glad I found this video first!💜

I actually tried to FMQ with the feed dogs UP and it actually worked just fine. So much easier than removing everything to lower feed dogs. (my machine is built in so this was a very welcome discovery for me. Thanks for the video!

Thank you very much. This is just what i needed to find for my project. I have a beautiful machine that has sat a year or so and not having a hard copy instruction manual out of the box is a big drawback to the Ease of Use, for an otherwise great product, and i really appreciate the videos on the b77/b79.

Thank you so much for the videos featuring the Bernette b77. I’ve had the b77 for a few days now (April 2023) and these videos are very helpful. I am excited to try the free motion sewing. When you turned over the piece to the underside, the stitches looked pretty much identical to the top frontside stitches.

I do have a question about normal sewing of two pieces of fabric, not a sandwich quilting set up for free motion.

So when I put two pieces of regular quilting fabric together to do practice stitching, I really like the front topside of the stitches. They look exactly how they should, however when I turn the piece over, the underside stitching does not look the same. I downloaded the b77 sewing machine manual and I’m having a very difficult time trying to fix this. Everything I read here on You Tube as well as in the manual, says to increase the tension. I have the upper thread tension set at 7 and the underside stitch still isn’t as perfect as the top side stitch. Do you have any suggestions for me? I would truly appreciate any help. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making this video! I too purchased my b77 recently and appreciate all the help I can get in learning how to operate her, especially since it’s my first computerized machine. I am also a beginner quilter and have a question….after lowering the feed dogs to practice fmq, I can’t get the feed dogs to come back up again….even after taking a few stitches. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for the video!😊

My machine does not show the diagram like yours did when threading my machine.

It's very difficult to see what you are doing, when changing foot, etc. The camera angle would be better with a close up, and not showing arm, hands, etc which hides what you are doing. Other than that your delivery is ok.
