1. Bernini 801

   Posted by Dorothy Briddock on 27th Mar 2014

   Universal foot patrol fitted to Bernina 801. Previous connection to machine had three cables. I used black cable and I think brown cable. Other cable I think blue not used. Best to try cables before loose onto terminals to see which cable not to use. Definitely black with brown or blue. Machine O.K. but my only reservation is why three cables before. Now only two. Can only hope for the best. Review and work done by husband Tom.

2. Difficult to fit, but worth persevering.

   Posted by Unknown on 3rd Feb 2014

   Quick delivery. Bought control for Bernina 900 with a 3 wire foot pedal and my husband at first failed to sort out the wiring. But he persevered and my machine is now up and running, thank goodness. A very cheap solution to the problem. It would have been very helpful to have had a diagram and/or instructions for wiring different machines, particularly as it is advertised as a universal foot control for most models.

3. Very Good Price & Product

   Posted by Unknown on 9th Dec 2013

   Bought this for a Bernina 930 Electronic with a two wire foot pedal. The original pedal had suffered through age and had got very brittle (the pivots had broken). The new pedal is not quite as 'progressive' as the original but for the price is excellent value & quality!

4. Universal foot control

   Posted by Mrs J P on 9th Dec 2013

   An excellent £15. well spent when my local dealer quoted about £150. to replace my Bernina foot control which no longer worked. Only gripe - NO INSTRUCTIONS for connection.
   Comments from other purchasers were reassuring and, luckily, I have an electrician for a son-in-law who managed the job for me. His only comment being that the little metal grips, used for fitting to the end of the two individual wires, for then fitting to the new foot control terminals were really A SIZE TOO SMALL.

5. Brilliant foot

   Posted by Unknown on 2nd Dec 2013

   I'm really pleased with this new foot. My old bernina foot had decided to operate at warp speed only! This new foot is better than the original ever was...more sensitive and therefore easier to use. Many thanks it's definitely a bargain.

   The quality , price and delivery speed of this product were all excellent. Like other reviewers discovered instructions could have helped enormously but another reviewer saved the day.

7. Bernina universal foot control cost14.99 pounds

   Posted by William on 13th Aug 2013

   Having read other purchaser's guides to this product on the Bernina shop site, I decided to try the control.It seems well made and appears simple to reconnect as a replacement.My machine is an old model Bernina 801. Comments offered by users have been a great help since as previously no connection instructions were enclosed when my foot control was delivered. Suggestion. "Surely Bernina could arrange supply of connection instructions with an order." ???!!!!! Thank you to Bernina / Purchasers. Definitely a bargain. !!

9. renew the foot pedal..

   Posted by Mrs M Marshall on 17th May 2013

   I found this universal foot pedal very good. I have had my Bernina for 40 years. I bought this machine when I lived in Zambia in the 1960.s and made all clothes on it. My husband found it easy to fit.

10. A lot cheaper than an 'Official' Bernina foot pedal and does the same job

    Posted by M.B. of Wincanton on 22nd Jan 2013

    Having read the reviews from K.H. West Sussex and Mick A. below,(many thanks to you both for the essential information) I decided to give the Universal Foot control a go for use on my 30+ year old Bernina 830. My machine has 3 wires to go into the foot control so after a lot of fiddling about (who designs these connections? They're so fiddly) I finally got it to work using the black and brown wires from the sewing machine cable and leaving the third (blue) wire carefully insulated and tucked out of the way of the others. Each wire needs pushing into one of the tiny clips supplied (they came as one clip and you have to snap them apart to make two), then tighten the clips by squeezing them closed and then slide each onto the protruding metal bits that are one each side of the green square thingy inside the pedal. (You will deduce I have no technical expertise.) The foot pedal now works perfectly and saved me £130. Brilliant!
