… and thousands of stitches! That’s what is included on my new Bernina 790Pro machine. I like to have a visual of what a stitch looks like, so for this machine (as for my previous one), I’ve made a stitch book, following directions on the WeAllSew site. Yes, it takes a long time to do this, but the results are worth it. Not only can I see what any stitch will look like, but I can rearrange the numbered stitch cards as stitches are added or eliminated from the firmware of the machine.
I used to have all of the stitches for my previous machine in a 2″ three-ring binder, but I’ve had to expand into a second one; the first one simply wouldn’t close with all of the additional stitches on my new machine! But the book(s) is/are done now, and I love having this reference.
This is what the pages look like:
And you can see how many pages are stuffed into these binders!

Oh Sandy what a chore! I started one for the 790 Plus & got a few pages done & of course got sidetracked with different projects. I admire your work ethic. I have been procrastinating with quilt tops & ignoring the quilting. My next step is to finish about 20 plus tops. Then maybe back to completing stitch samples.
It’s definitely worth doing, Candice — at least, that’s my opinion. But I can certainly understand getting sidetracked! 🙂
Wow! Great job Sandy!
Thanks, Deena! I love having this resource. 🙂
An excellent job, Sandy! Very neat and tidy. Like all your work, it’s BRILLIANT!
Thanks, Dianne! I wish I could take credit for the idea, but it came from the link in my post. 🙂
You are so ambitious Sandy. When I got an 830 many years ago I made a book, but I never did for my 790. Comments work today!
Yay, Kitty — I’m so glad it worked today! I decided to do the book again (I did it for my previous machine), simply because I referred to the previous one so frequently. This one seemed to take forever, though. 😉 Still, some of the stitches were the same as before, so I just “recycled” those.
