How to program stitch counter

[Paula M.]

I have watched the video on sewing hexies by programming the stitch counter repeatedly and can't understand how I can program my 820 to sew the same number of stitches and stop. Can anyone help me?

Sorry, I can't. My 730 has been in the shop for over a month waiting for Bernina on a back ordered L panel. :evil:

I hope when it is finally fixed it works better than it did!

I watched the video also and was disappointed that they didn't show how to set the stitch counter. I'm sure if you call you dealer they can help you.

Hi,
On my B820, the stitch counter symbol is to the right of the mirror up and down symbol at the bottom left of my touch screen. It is basically a rectangular shape with 1,2,3 under it. Press this symbol to activate and your stitches will be counted.
I am excited about sewing hexies this way, as to be honest, I hadn't thought about it, and I do not enjoy English paper piecing.
You will have to look in your manual what the symbol is on later 7 and 8 series machines, because the computer system has changed and some of the symbols are different.
Hope this helps some of you.
Happy sewing,
Heather

PS
I should have added (see previous post):
When you have stitched the number of stitches that you wish to repeat, press the reverse button. This will now stitch every row of stitching the same length.
To turn the stitch counter off, touch the counter icon again and your machine will return to normal sewing.
