I hope someone can help me..I have a Bernina Artista 180 which I love and all problems so far have been operator error which I also hope is the case here. Here is the problem; when I sew with my walking foot i get the teeniest, tiniest stitches and no matter what I try I cant adjust the stitch length. I can adjust the stitch length with other feet on though.
It isn't normally a problem unless I have to try to unpick stitches and that is almost impossible and takes forever.
On the upside it is great for paperpiecing as the paper comes away so easily!
Hope someone has encountered this problem and can help me!
Note: I just measured the stitches and I can fit 5 stitches in a quarter inch.

This has happened with my Bernina, I was told this is a feed dog problem.
One thing I would check is if it is installed right. If you have a instructions, check them
If it works right for the other feet and not that one.. that is the only thing I can think of.
I have put mine on wrong before.

Do you have the screw that holds the needle in place on your machine between the bar on the walking foot that has a big "C" or some may call it a big "U" on it's side ??? THis bar goes up and down. Just take the foot completely off and then put it on again with the needle clamp in this big "C" and it will work. Sue
