Before choosing a part
Compatibility essentials
Start with these documented details. Read the requirements with each answer before choosing a needle, bobbin or foot.
- Foot attachment
- Foot holder / mount
The presser-foot holder is removable and screw-mounted to the presser bar; reinstall it from underneath and to the left, start the screw by hand and tighten it with the screwdriver.
Requirements and sources →- Needle system / designation
- Needle sizes by fabric and use
Use size 70 or 75 for lightweight fabrics, 80 or 90 for medium fabrics, and 100 for heavy fabrics as general manual guidance.
Requirements and sources →- Maximum stitch / zigzag width
Not yet confirmed here: Manufacturer accessory group, Presser-foot shank type, Foot interface / generation, Bobbin type / class, Bobbin material, Bobbin diameter, Bobbin height, Hook type, Feed system, Bobbin loading direction. What is still to confirm →
Model & names
- Model
- bernette b77
Other names, regional versions and related models have not been confirmed here. A shared manual, product line or accessory group does not identify the machine's family.
What do you need help with?
How do I wind and load the bobbin?
Before you use this answer
Switch off for loading and follow the full illustrated thread path. Winding and loading instructions do not establish a replacement bobbin class or dimensions.
Documents and page references →Which needle system and fabric-dependent sizes does the manual specify?
Before you use this answer
Keep the fabric-dependent size recommendations together. Needle-system wording does not establish substitutions or unrestricted size use.
Documents and page references →How do the foot sole and its separate holder attach?
Before you use this answer
The snap-on sole and screw-mounted holder are separate mechanisms. Read the original safety conditions; standardized shank dimensions and third-party fit remain unestablished.
Documents and page references →What cleaning and needle-bar oiling does the manual describe?
Before you use this answer
Switch off and disconnect power. Read every condition and the complete illustrated removal, reassembly and marked oil points. The six-month oil interval applies to frequent use; do not use compressed air.
Documents and page references →Which way does the needle face when I replace it?
Before you use this answer
Switch off and disconnect power. Read the complete replacement procedure and its safety conditions before changing the needle.

Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
Needle
System
- Select a purpose-appropriate needle point and size using the separate fabric guidance; no other needle-system substitution is established.
Use needle system 130/705H.
Sources and pages
Sizes and fabric use
- Select the point and 130/705 variant for the exact fabric and sewing purpose; these ranges are guidance, not one universal required size.
Use size 70 or 75 for lightweight fabrics, 80 or 90 for medium fabrics, and 100 for heavy fabrics as general manual guidance.
Sources and pages
Needle insertion
- Use a straight, good-quality 130/705H-system needle with a point and size appropriate to the fabric and purpose.
Raise the foot and needle, switch off and disconnect power, loosen the fixing screw, remove the old needle downward, then push the new needle fully upward with its flat side to the rear and tighten the screw.

Substitutions
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: No unlisted needle-system substitution is established by the reviewed b77 pages.
Bobbin
Winding procedure
- Keep hands clear of moving parts; this sequence does not establish bobbin class, material, dimensions or substitutes.
Route thread through the guide and around the bobbin-winder pre-tension in the arrow direction, pass the tail through an inner bobbin hole, seat the bobbin and push the winding unit right. Hold the tail, run a few rotations and stop, cut the tail above the hole, resume winding, then move the unit left before removing the bobbin and cutting the thread.
Sources and pages
Bobbin insertion
- The diagram controls the exact thread path; this procedure does not establish bobbin class, material, dimensions, MPN, hook orientation or substitutions.
With the needle and presser foot raised and the machine switched off, insert an evenly wound bobbin so its thread unwinds anti-clockwise, pull thread into the slit and follow the arrow markings through the guide, trim it over the cutter and replace the bobbin cover.
Sources and pages
Class material dimensions
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed b77 manual pages do not state a bobbin class, material, dimensions or MPN.
Hook orientation
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed b77 manual pages do not name a horizontal/vertical hook orientation or hook system.
Native snap on attachment
- Switch off before changing the foot. This proves the documented sole-to-holder mechanism, not low-shank naming or generic-foot compatibility.
The documented presser-foot sole snaps onto the holder: place its pin beneath the holder shaft groove and push the sole upward until it engages.
Sources and pages
Removable holder
- Remove the foot sole first and switch off the machine. Holder removal does not establish generic screw-on foot or adapter compatibility.
The presser-foot holder is removable and screw-mounted to the presser bar; reinstall it from underneath and to the left, start the screw by hand and tighten it with the screwdriver.
Sources and pages
Pressure control
- These are source recommendations based on fabric thickness, not fixed requirements or universal numeric settings.
Presser-foot pressure is adjustable: reduce it for thick fabrics and increase it for thin fabrics.
Sources and pages
Presser-foot shank · manufacturer wording
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed b77 pages say presser-foot bar, holder, shaft groove and sole pin but do not name a low-, high- or slant-shank class.
Generic screw on fit
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed b77 pages do not establish generic screw-on presser-foot compatibility.
Third party adapters
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed b77 pages do not establish any third-party adapter fit.
Specifications & documented facts
Specifications apply to the named model and document edition. Read any setup, fabric or safety requirements with the answer.
Performance & stitch capabilities
Bed configuration
The b77 has a freearm with space for a large project to the right of the needle.

Maximum sewing speed
Maximum sewing-mode speed is 1,000 stitches per minute.

Maximum stitch width
- Not all models and accessory components are available in all countries.; Subject to changes in features and design.
The maximum stitch width is 7 mm

Owner features
Feed dog cleaning
- Do not use compressed-air spray; refit the removed components before sewing.
Raise the needle and foot, switch off and disconnect power, remove the needle, foot and stitch plate, lower the feed dog and clean it with a brush or soft cloth.
Sources and pages
Bobbin area cleaning
- Follow the source sequence exactly; the retained native proof contains the source typo "boobin" while the owner-facing instruction uses "bobbin".
Raise the foot, switch off and disconnect power, remove the foot, needle and stitch plate, brush the bobbin case, remove it at the needle's topmost position, and brush the shuttle race. Reinsert the bobbin case, align the bobbin-case and stitch-plate markings identically, then refit the stitch plate, bobbin cover, needle and foot in that order.
Sources and pages
Needle bar lubrication
- The source diagram controls the exact oil points; pay attention to exposed moving parts after the cover is removed, and do not generalize the six-month interval beyond frequent use.
For frequent use, oil the needle bar every six months: switch off and disconnect power, remove the cap, screw and headframe cover, apply one drop to the arrow-marked movement points, remove the presser foot, turn the handwheel a few times, wipe excess oil and refit the cover.

Care, setup & service references
Use the full source procedure and its safety precautions. A short referenced answer is not a substitute for service documentation or qualified electrical/mechanical repair.
Service-manual availability and service-only procedures remain unestablished unless separately cataloged and reviewed.
Coverage and source-review limits
Model-specific documents cover bobbins, needles, feet and care. Wider substitutions and third-party compatibility have not been confirmed.

Next evidence targets
- Establish bobbin class, dimensions and replacement applicability from exact-model OEM evidence.
- Resolve standardized shank geometry and third-party adapter fit separately from native attachment instructions.
These are research questions, not claims that the missing relationship exists.
