A whole new day, a whole new way
to express yourself!
Slide Speed Control
The conveniently positioned slide speed control
allows you to adjust the sewing speed to the
particular sewing task––slow for precise work,
and faster for more general sewing.
This function can also be used during the
bobbin winding process.
Start/Stop Button
The aurora's Start/Stop Button is very practical.
Since it is not necessary to operate a foot control,
you can sew at any speed with confidence.
Automatic Needle Threader
The automatic threader makes it easy
to pass the thread through the eye of
the needle in a matter of seconds.
BSR – Bernina Stitch Regulator
The Bernina Stitch Regulator is a patented,*
state-of-the-art innovation that regulates the
length of your stitches so you can create
consistent, free-motion stitching with ease.
The presser foot has three different soles and
guarantees a more even stitch length with
variable sewing speeds. (Standard on the 440 QE.)
Separate Winder Motor
The new separate bobbin winder is practical
and incredibly user-friendly, allowing you to wind
bobbins while sewing, embroidering or quilting.

accessories including bobbins, presser feet, and
standard tools and maintenance accessories.

of the aurora for easy carrying.
Embroidery Module with Bernina Editor Lite
Software (optional)
This Bernina software allows you to customize designs
before stitching out embroidery. You can reduce and
enlarge designs, add lettering, reshape lettering,
mirror-image, change colors and more. You are guided
through the entire embroidery process with on-screen
animations, and you can follow the current embroidery
operations directly on screen.
Free Hand System
This knee-operated Bernina innovation
raises the presser foot and lowers the
feed dog, so you can keep both hands
on the fabric when guiding and
pivoting. Great for quilters.
