## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this machine be used to sew bags? Bags consist of faux leather, flex foam interfacing, duck cloth and strapping.**
A: Yes, it can be used for those materials.  You may want to switch to a heavier needle, such as a topstitch, denim or leather needle depending on material.

**Q: Can you upload images from computer?**
A: You put the designs onto a USB stick from your computer, then put the USB stick into the machine and it reads the designs from there.

**Q: Is there good book to help learn to use this machine?**
A: I don't know about a book...but anytime I need an answer or help in using my machine, I look it up on YouTube. There is a lady who shows how to use all the different aspects of the sewing machine as she is sewing a bag. It's super helpful!

**Q: How can I get the embroidery arm to go back to the left side of the module, so I can store it in the box it came in?**
A: I don’t store mine in the box 
Sorry

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love love love this machine
*by L***8 on November 4, 2017*

I love love love this machine. I use it almost every day and it works like a champ. It’s quiet for how light it is, the embroidery option works great, and everything is so easy to use. I’ve had it about a year and I haven’t had any major problems with it.The only reason I’m giving it 4 Stars is because sometimes the tension is a little finicky and it will skip a stitch every now and then. But as long as you test the fabric out before you start your project and make sure you get the tension right on that fabric, you should be fine! Also, my feed dogs stopped working once, but I was able to fix it. Again, no major problems! Everything is pretty easy to figure out and fix if you do run into a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value High Functionality
*by A***E on May 14, 2018*

I have had the Bernette Chicago 7 for less than a week and am very happy with it. Very capable machine that can do lovely embroidery. Operator error is a big cause of problems with doing embroidery. Improper threading, bobbin setting, stabilizer issues and i’m still trying to figure out all the things that I can control that fouls up my embroidery.I’m still figuring out the software—trying to figure out All that I can do. I have to go buy a new USB stick because the stick needs to be formatted by BERNINA. I’m also trying to determine if I can make my own designs on photoshop and import. How to do border designs, cutwork and appliqué? Craftsy.com had a free streaming weekend so that was very interesting—so much potential!! The built in designs on the sewing machine and on the software are lovely and will keep me happy for awhile. I’ve never tried another embroidery machine so I can’t compare, but this machine seems very fun/well-designed for casual embroidering. I’m happy I bought it.I bought this machine with my own money and for my own entertainment.Update: Still happily embroidering. One glitch that was a bit difficult was figuring out the USB stick. I'm not sure the recommended way to solve the problem, but I ordered very low memory sticks (1.8 GB) or LESS THAN 2 GB and my modern software was able to format them to FAT. A high capacity USB was automatically formatted to FAT32 using modern software and it didn't work on the machine as far as I could tell. I think the sewing machine doesn't like FAT 32 so don't format to that if possible. The file that finally worked was Bernina EXP.The software that comes with the machine has the ability to import and change the designs, but not create anything. I think this software actually does what a very high end machine does on the sewing machine. USB stick delivery isn't too bad when you're saving thousands of dollars....One other issue was asking for help from Bernette.com. They said sorry we only take questions from the USA and they rejected my emailed question. I live in Seattle so I guess Bernina thinks there's another Seattle somewhere else in the world. I will have to phone them with the next question.

### ⭐ Poor Quality
*by F***E on November 28, 2019*

Machine broke after about 15 usages. The power cord and foot peddle do not work and I have exchanged them with other cords and it still won’t work, which indicates there is something wrong the motor. This machine was very expensive and I am hurt that my money was taken with little thought given to the quality of the the product by the manufacturer.
