This instructor is awesome! She is easy to listen too, articulate, and a cutie pie too! Hi Caity!

[brendariaharvey]

The most informative set up video for my Bernina Embroidery machine that I have seen! Thank you so much! I have been struggling, but have learned so much from this beautifully clear, precise and well presented tutorial. You do a brilliant job!

[carolynberkram]

Unboxed my module and tried to learn from book. Ugh. Then I watched this video and was fairly comfortable with my set up in no time. Thank you!

[Mglw]

Very well done! Appreciated an instructor that takes their time teaching and does not assume that you know the in between steps. I will review this often as an excellent resource!

I got my Bernina 880 Plus in July 2019, I got 2 classes on how to operate the machine before Covid 19 shutdown happened. I have been doing garment sewing, making quilt blocks, etc. I had my embroidery module put away too scared to touch it until I watched your videos & you made it look so easy. You answered all my questions
.Today 8/22/2021 I am embroidering & loving it! Thank you Thank you Thank you! (You are a wonderful instructor!)

[andreamarshall]

Such clear and complete step by step directions. Thank you for not assuming I know tech and understand things then skip over them! Well done!

[barbarajohnston]

Teaching is obviously one of your gifts. Clear presentation, thank you!

[johannebrunner]

Very well organized and informative. With no class this is a life saver.

[pjfountaine]

Thanks. And the tip to watch it first all the way thru sounds like a good idea haha

[elainemcatee]

Caity, your Bernina videos are the best I have found, you speak so clearly and concisely and no talking just to hear yourself talk! I brought home my new Bernina 790 Plus Crystal Edition yesterday and you have gotten me jump started! Thanks so much!

Your teaching is so awesome, so clear and very understandable. I've been sewing for years on Berninas, but I'm newer to embroidery. My husband surprised me with a Tula 770qee last winter. I have to say, the Embroidery Basics class I attended from my Bernina dealer was nowhere near as thorough as this one. I've learned so much through your video. I immediately subscribed to your YouTube channel and can't wait to learn more from you and actually start using my embroidery module with confidence. Thank you!!!

Wow - I just picked up a Bernina 880 Plus. You, young lady are an AWESOME instructor. Not only do you tell us how to do something but WHY we should do it that way or the options for changing somethings. I’m so impressed. I just calibrated all my hoops and touched the screen along with you. It appears that the 880 has a few more icons than your 770 but I’m sure that there is help for that on YouTube. I’ve learned enough for one day anyway! I’ve had top of the line Janome Machines for 30 years, so switching to a Bernina is a little mind boggling at the moment (mostly on the sewing side). I’ll look to see if you have a “sewing basics” Vlog as well…. Thank you so much for your time and clear tutorial!

[judyholbrook]

Wonderful video! Thanks for a great explanation and step by step instructions! Perfect for beginners!

[mollymuzette]

You are an excellent instructor! Thank you for creating these super helpful videos.

[mabelbrooks]

This is the best video on Bernina "Getting Started" Embroidery lesson. Your a great teacher! So glad I found this video tonight! All my questions were answered. Thanks! looking forward to the next lesson.

[sueb]

This is amazing! Thank you. I’ve had my unit for 6 months and been worried about it. And now my daughter is getting married. First job linen serviettes. Thank so much.

[theresaford]

Caity, thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I attended my first embroidery class at my Bernina center yesterday, and frankly, it was a bit overwhelming for a lot of us who knew nothing about our embroider machines. I'm so happy I found your video this morning. You clearly and concisely reviewed everything our instructor presented yesterday, so this was a fantastic way to review the basics. The close-ups of your Bernina were extremely helpful as well. My confidence level has grown a lot already. Again, thank you!

[terrywaters]

Great tutorial. I got my Tula Pink Bernina 570 QE May of 2020 and because of Covid my dealer was not able to show me any of the basics for the embroidery attachment. Took me a couple of months just to unpack the attachment and then several more months before actually attaching it to my machine. With your tutorial I now have enough confidence to try using it. Thank you so much!!!!

[deniselauffer]

This is the most informative tutorial package I’ve ever seen! wOW!! Thank You, THANK YOU!

[ROBINSNAILS]

Cathy, I just want to say I was so afraid to use my new embroidery machine but you have certainly help me to have more confidence and in no time I know I’ll be doing beautiful in embroidery. Thank you and please keep them coming. I appreciate you so much.
