Sewing Machines / Bernina Artista 200 buttonholes with foot 3A with sensor
« on: August 23, 2019, 14:42:44 PM »
Please does anyone have this Bernina Artista 200 machine along with the buttonhole foot 3A which is the slide and has a sensor on the side?
I have successfully sewn many buttonholes on this machine in the past, sometimes I have had trouble with it misbehaving and found this was due to fluff or debris up on the inbuilt sensor which is situated up in the machine near the needle and thus I now always make sure that I have cleaned away any debris - this is where a dental mirror is so useful.
However all this week I have been trying to sew buttonholes, and yesterday thought I had got this all sorted but no. I have my previous notes on how I did the buttonholes and the settings, but this time around I can do a perfect buttonhole but when I go to do another one all I get is a straight continuous line of satin stitches, it does not stop and go back up to stitch the top bar and then the second bead.
I am at a loss to understand why it is doing this, I have saved the settings and luckily I have not yet tried sewing the buttonholes on my top - anyway as it is a type of cotton lawn I do not think this would tolerate too much unpicking.
I have three other tops all ready cut out waiting to be put together and they all need buttonholes.
I am obviously doing something wrong but I do not know what - can anyone help please - thanks.
