In Part 4 of BERNINA's series of longarming for beginners, they discuss two critical factors for quality stitching–needles and tension. As a longarm quilter, you’ll want consistent stitching on every project. But you’ll find that if you are using different types of batting, fabric and thread, you may need to make adjustments to get a perfect stitch.
Part 3 in BERNINA's series of Longarm Quilting for Beginners deals with threading and basic techniques.
A person new to using a longarm is always interested in the threading of the machine. Some longarms are a little different from others. Here they share with you how easy it is to thread their BERNINA Q Series machines. Both the Q 20 and the Q 24 thread the same way. The threading is all in the front, so there is no need to go to the back or reach all the way to the back.
Part 2 is a discussion about the frame and rails.
Part 1 gave you some things to think about if you decide to purchase a longarm on a frame. The later blogs will touch on basic techniques, feature highlights of the BERNINA Q Series and BERNINA Q-matic Longarm Quilting Automation System.
