5 correct needle/thread combination
When sewing, the thread should travel smoothly down the long groove on the front of the needle.
too thin thread or too thick needle
The thread has too much clearance in the long groove. Skipped stitches and damage to the thread can occur.
too thick thread or too fine needle
The thread rubs on the edges of the long groove and can get jammed. This can cause thread breakage.

thread tension
Higher upper thread tension = the upper thread is tightened, which pulls the lower thread up to the topside of fabric.
Lower upper thread tension = the upper thread is loosened, which enables it to be pulled to the backside of the fabric.
Basic settings are applied automatically when a stitch pattern or program is selected. the upper thread tension is set optimally at the BernIna factory and the sewing computer has been tested. metrosene-/Seralon thread size
100/2 (company mettler, Switzerland) is used for upper and lower thread.
In case of using other types of sewing or embroidery threads, the optimal tension may vary. Therefore it may be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the fabric and the desired stitch pattern.

«Feed dog»-button 1 flush with housing.
► feed dog is ready to sew
«Feed dog»-button 1 pressed.
► feed dog is lowered
For free-motion sewing (darning, embroidery, quilting, etc.).
feed Dog and fabric feed
With each stitch the feed dog moves forward by one step. The length of this step is determined by the stitch length selected.
With an extremely short stitch length, the steps are also very short. The fabric moves away from the foot quite slowly, even at full sewing speed. e.g. buttonholes, satin stitch and decorative stitches are all sewn with a very short stitch length.
Let the fabric feed evenly.
attentIon!
pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric can result in damages of the needle and stitch plate.
Pulling, pushing or holding back the fabric will result in uneven stitches.

Height compensation of uneven layers
The feed dog works accurately when the foot is level.
If the foot is at an angle, e.g. when sewing over thick to thin or vice-versa, the feed dog cannot grip and feed the fabric. The fabric might jam.
To solve this problem, place one, two or three compensating plates as required behind the needle under the presser foot to level it.
To correct the height in front of the foot, place one or more plates under the foot close to the needle. Sew until the foot is level again and remove the plates.
Needle stop down.
Sewing corners
Due to the width of the stitch plate hole the outer feed dog rows are relatively far apart.
When sewing corners only a small section of the fabric is actually on the feed dog. Therefore it cannot grip the fabric well.
Place one or more plates of the height compensation tool parallel to the presser foot close to the edge of the fabric.
► the fabric is fed evenly
Needle stop down.

Reinforce the area to be sewn with embroidery stabilizer. The design can be drawn on the wrong side of the fabric. You can also draw the design on the front of the fabric, then follow the lines with a freely guided straight stitch and polyester, cotton or rayon thread. The rows of stitching are visible on the right side of the fabric, and serve as reference lines for the bobbin-thread sewing.
The BSR function can be used for bobbin-thread sewing. Guide your project at uniform speed evenly under the needle, follow the lines of the design. Remove the stabilizer after you finish sewing.
Sew a sample first to check what the result looks like on the wrong side of the fabric. Alter the lower thread or upperthread tension if required.
To make the lower thread slide smoothly, insert the bobbin so that it turns counterclockwise.
The lower thread indicator has to be deactivated in the Setup
Program (see page 49).
Sewing decorative stitches
Not all decorative stitches are suitable for this technique. Simple decorative stitches provide best results. Avoid compact stitch types and satin stitches.

BSR
BSr (BernIna Stitch regulator)
Quilting with BSr (optional accessory)
BSr-function
The BSR presser foot reacts to the movement of the fabric under the foot and controls the speed of the sewing computer up to the maximum speed possible.
The following applies: the faster the fabric is moved, the higher the speed of the sewing computer.
If the fabric is moved too fast, an accoustic signal (beep sound) is heard, if the
Beeper is activated (see page 101).
attentIon!
as long as the BSr presser foot is illuminated red, adjustments like threading and changing the needle, for example, must not be carried out, as the needle will engage while fabric is moved unintentionally! Without fabric feed the BSr mode is turned off after approx. 7 seconds and the red light goes off. please refer to Safety Instructions!
By activating the BSr function the sewing computer sews either continuously at reduced speed (mode 1, standard), or as soon as the fabric is moved (mode 2).
BSr function with straight stitch no. 1
This function using the BSR presser foot, allows for free-motion quilting
(sewing) using the straight stitch and a pre-selected stitch length up to 4mm.
The regulated set stitch length is maintained within a certain speed, independent of the movement of the fabric.
BSr function with zig-zag no. 2
The zig-zag can be used e.g. for thread painting. The set stitch length will not be maintained when sewing with the zigzag stitch, but the BSR function simplifies the application.
there are: two different BSr modes
̶ BSr 1-mode is the active standard
̶ the sewing computer runs continuously at a reduced motor speed, as soon as the foot control or the «Start/Stop»-button is pressed
̶ the speed of the sewing computer is regulated by the movement of the fabric
̶ through continuous needle movement, securing in the same position is possible without pressing an additional button
̶ BSr 2-mode is activated by selecting the BSR 2-icon in the BSR-display
̶ the sewing computer will only engage if the foot control or the «Start/
Stop»-button is pressed and the fabric is moved simultaneously
̶ the speed of the sewing computer is regulated by the movement of the fabric
̶ to secure press the «Securing function»-button
̶ by selecting the BSR 1-icon in the BSR-display Mode 1 is activated
034790.50.04 _2013-03_Manual_B560_EN
BSR
For an even sewing start (the first stitch) the foot control must be pressed and the fabric moved simultaneously. This also applies for sewing points and straight stitching within a round form.
If the BSR function is deactivated and later re-activated without the sewing computer being switched off in between, the last selected
BSR mode is active.
When exceeding a certain speed, adhering to regular stitch length cannot be guaranteed.
Make sure that the lens on the bottom of the BSR foot is clean (no fingerprints, etc.). Clean lens periodically with soft, slightly damp cloth.

Important embroidery information
Important embroidery information
Embroidery threads
A good quality thread is essential for embroidery to avoid poor stitch quality, thread breakage, etc.
Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.
Polyester threads
Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing colorfast thread and has a high tensile strength which is suitable for all types of embroidery.
Rayon threads
Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen and suitable for fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive excessive wear and tear.
Metallic threads
Metallic thread is a light- to medium weight thread suitable for special effects in embroidery. Reduce the speed and upper thread tension when embroidering with metallic threads.
Embroidery needle
̶ correct size thread must correspond with correct size needle
̶ replace the needle regularly
Use the vertical spool pin and attach the supplemental thread guide
(optional accessory) when using guide eyelet for metallic and silk thread. A Metafil 130/705H-MET need is recommended for embroidering with metallic threads.
Adjust upper thread tension and reduce the embroidery speed.
Lower threads
Bobbin Fill (special bobbin thread)
Bobbin Fill is an especially soft and light polyester thread suitable for bobbin thread. This special bobbin thread ensures a steady thread tension and an optimal intertwining of the upper and bobbin thread.
Darning and embroidery thread
Fine mercerized cotton thread which suits for embroidering on cotton.
In most cases, bobbin thread for embroidery is either white or black.
Some special cases require same thread in top and bobbin.

034790.50.04 _2013-03_Manual_B560_EN
Important embroidery information
Choosing the embroidery motif
Embroidery test
Scaling/Sizing motifs
Simple motifs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on fine material. Large-scale, densely embroidered motifs (e.g. with multiple color and embroidery direction changes) are suitable for medium and heavy weight material.
Always test stitch the embroidery motif on the same type material. Use the same stabilizer as will be used on the finished project. Changes colors, stabilizer type or needle if needed to suite the motif/fabric combination.
Motifs can be scaled/sized using the on-screen icons or with the BERNINA
Embroidery Software on the PC. Increasing/decreasing in a range of +/- 20 % provides the best results.

034790.50.04 _2013-03_Manual_B560_EN
Different stitch types
Important embroidery information
Underlay stitches
Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the material.
Satin stitch
The needle moves left to right and vice versa. The result is a very dense, covering zig-zag stitching to fill the shape. Satin stitching fills are ideal for narrow and small shapes. Satin stitching is, however, not suitable for larger areas, since wide stitches are too loose and do not cover the fabric properly. In addition there is the danger that with too long stitches the threads could catch on something which would damage the embroidery.
Step stitch
A fill stitch with stitches of specified length sewn in rows used primarily to fill large areas quickly.
Connecting Stitches
Jump stitches which are used to get from one part of the motif to the next.
Before and after the jump stitch securing stitches are sewn. Jump stitches are trimmed before the next color starts to embroider.

Water soluble stabilizer
Water soluble stabilizer looks like plastic wrap. Dissolve stabilizer in warm water when the embroidery is complete. Water soluble stabilizers are ideal protection for materials with a thick or looped pile such as toweling. This prevents the threads from sinking into the material and prevents the material from showing through the embroidery stitches.
⦁ place on top of the material place all the layers together into the embroidery hoop use adhesive spray to fix stabilizer if necessary for material with a pile, reinforce with additional, suitable stabilizer on the wrong side after dissolving lay the motif down flat and let dry
Application:
̶ ideal for toweling, velvet, bouclé etc.
̶ ideal for fine, sheer materials such as organdy, batiste, etc.
̶ for lace embroidery
For lace embroidery place one or two layers of water soluble stabilizer in hoop (as the motif is not embroidered on any material, only the thread embroidered motif is left). Embroidery motifs must be combined with short stitches otherwise the individual motifs may fall out.
