Benefits
•Infinite stitch length selection; match the stitch length to the fabric and thread
selection.
•Infinite stitch width selection; can adjust for any type of fabric; smooth,
step-free satin stitching for appliqué.
•Conveniently located on the left side of the machine; cuts and holds the
threads until sewing resumes.
•Both beads are sewn in the same direction for even stitch density. Density is
adjustable for perfect buttonholes on any fabric.
•Stops automatically when the bobbin is full so there will be no overfilling of the
bobbin. The handy thread cutter at the base of the spindle helps make bobbin
filling easier.
•Tie off stitches at the touch of the button.
•Stores presser feet, bobbins, needles and sewing notions; fits onto the
machine and extends the sewing surface.
•The retractable handle makes it easy to transport your machine, yet is out of
the way when sewing. The handle also has a supplemental thread guide for
specialty or unruly threads.
•With a matte finish and glare-free guiding lines, the stitch plate has inch
markings for accurate seaming. 5/8" lines in front of and behind the needle
position make it easy to turn corners for accurate placement. The plate
is easy to remove for thorough cleaning of your machine.
•A soft cover is included to protect your machine from dust.
•Readable at a glance, the panel indicates the correct presser foot, needle
position, stitch length and width for successful sewing.
•Conveniently located; easy to use because a red line indicates the normal
setting. On most fabrics, the tension does not need to be adjusted.
•Easy to use for freemotion work and delicate fabrics.
•Easy to work on small, cylindrical areas such as cuffs and collars.
•Add feet and accessories as you need them. BERNINA offers the widest variety
of feet and accessories to meet all your sewing needs.
