Which Bernina 830 are you referring to? (Yeah, it was crazy of Bernina to use the same numbers to identify different models...). There is the old Bernina 830 Record and the new computerized Bernina 830.

Have you tried rethreading the machine? If so, be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. Verify the thread path is correct.

I figured out the solution for this issue. It all has to do with the threading. And I mean literally follow the instructions word for word. Most importantly is the Bobbin thread. make sure to thread the bobbin through the case eyelet.

Make sure the chain stitch thread is threaded exactly as it should be, make doubly sure the thread comes off the bobbin vertically and runs through all eyes smoothly. Any faults in the threading causes extra tension at the needle despite what the tension is set on.
If this is not the cause then the needle depth and the looper timing needs checking.

It could be that there is a loose piece of thread, or some fluff which is obstructing the tension gauge. Try blowing around the theading area (or even run the hoover pipe near it to see if you can **** it out). I cleared mine by folding a piece of non fluffy material and rubbing gently between the tension dial and machine.

Good luck

Bernina 830: When making a buttonhole... the zigzag #1 stitch on left side looks nice... then the #2 bottom bar tack looks good...

Please tell us which Bernina 830 you have--old mechanical Record or new computerized?

Here's a recommendation from a Bernina owner (Ellen Rosenthal on Yahoo Group "BonosBerninas":
I agree about the buttonholer. The reverse stitching never looks as good as the left or forward side. I “hack” this by pivoting my fabric and only
going forward-avoiding the reverse stitch. Also helps to do the whole process twice and to use some tear away or wash away interfacing.

There is another Yahoo group called "BerninaThirtySomethings" that is a great resource.

What does hi, 'upper thread inserted' mean?

Try contacting your Bernina dealer. They should know what that error message means.

My Bernina 830 will not switch stitches. It says the number but shows straight stitch and sews straight stitch

Is it a new 830 computerized model or the older 830 Record mechanical?

If it is the 830 Record, it needs oiling--1-2 drops of good quality sewing machine oil (specifically concentrate on the stitch selector lever and oil the metal parts that move against other metal parts) Do NOT oil the cams, plastic gears, any rubber parts, ie belts, bobbin winder wheel.

How do I enlarge decorative stitches on a Bernina 830?

The only way (that I'm aware of) to enlarge decorative stitches is by increasing the stitch width and the stitch length. You might try a thicker thread that will cover more. The only other way might be to use embroidery software.

I have a Bernina 830 machine. When I sew the upper and lower stitch does not match Top looks normal but the bottom stitch is very loose. Please help

Sounds like you are threading the machine incorectly, try this
Rethread the machine all the way to the needle but not the needle eye.
Pull on the thread and lift and lower the presser foot at the same time.
You should have tension on the thread when the foot is down and no tension when the foot is up.
If this is so then start sewing and all should be fine.
If this is not the case then your machine needs some adjusting.
Hope this helps, if not let me know.

How do i use the zigzag stitch on my bernina 830

Hi, open the top cover and if you watch what goes on inside from the top when you move the top change lever you will see part of it goes through a fork or U-shape part. This part is probably stuck and needs some oil. After oiling and working it back and forth a bunch eventually it will start snapping into the notches its supposed to. I beleive then you will have your zigzag back.
Either that or you have the stitch width set on zero.
