      I don't know what. Is meant by "auto quilting.". Do you mean quilting designs I the hoop or do you mean machine quilting with the Bernina Stitch Regulator? I waited until this year for my 830 and I have been beyond thrilled with it. Most of my skipped stitches problems with BSR are not exclusive to my 830 and is generally due to using wrong needle for my batting or thread combinations. There is no one magic needle for all machine quilting so have a nice stash of quilting, embroidery, top stitch, microtex and metallic needles on hand to try.

      As for the binding attachment, I have used mine with mitered corners and I will try to find the tutorial and post it. Works well! I must say, I use this attachment for baby quilts, or quilts that I know will be simply used and enjoyed. If the quilt is heirloom or competition, I would take the time for corded bonding,

      The attachment does seem to need to use bias strips rather than straight or cross grain strips. Bias just seems to fold and apply better. Ask how I know... :cry:

          Lili, I think you must be talking about using the Bernina quilt frame together with the Quilt Motion software available for the Bernina 830, but I have no experience with this, but a lot of things--including mistakes on the part of the user--could cause skipped stitches. I would encourage you to learn to free motion quilt though. It's part of the fun.

              Lili, I sent you a response, but in general it looks like you need to loosen your top tension and tighten your bobbin tension. Make sure your bobbin is threaded for embroidery, then loosen your top tension a bit and try again. Keep loosening the top until you make sure it can't all be done from the top. If it is still looking kind of like that (pulling to the top), you will have to tighten your bobbin tension. Look this up in your machine manual to see how that is done for your machine. Usually it is turning the screw on the bobbin case slightly to the right. Just keep working with it until it is right. And then make notes for yourself so you can set it up like this again when you want to work with these threads again.

                  I agree with BettyJo about the 830 machine. I have had one for several years now and most of my problems are me and not the machine. The machine reminds me of the software program, Photoshop, because it has far more to it than I will ever master. The Designer software (that came with the machine on the sales promotion) for embroidery, appliqué and quilting is fabulous but it also had a steep learning curve. I have also been trying to master the binder attachment too. Again, it is more often me than the binder. I find starching to be very important. I am still mastering corners but the latest edition of Through the Needle from Bernina had an article on it and I haven't had a chance to try it. My wonderful dealer had found a German article, lots of pix and translated, that I had been using until now for corners. I am still learning.
