It has the ability to deal with a wide range of fabrics regardless of its stubbornness. From rugged sewing to intricate embroidery work, this machine can handle all type of assignments without much complaint.
Bernina, right from their inception, have stressed on producing sewing machines that are versatile and outright innovative. Also, these machines are made with intense care and advanced technology so as to feed the needs of a home seamstress.
The main agenda of the Bernina has been to produce quality sewing machines and make a distinctive name for themselves in the textile industry. Therefore, the giant company has thrived on constructing sewing and embroidery machines with superior Swiss quality.
They have reinforced their profits in order to produce innovative and efficient sewing machines. This feature allows the machine to make stitches on a consistent basis without squandering its length and the width. Free motion embroidery and quilting projects can be accomplished without creating any fuss. Every machine comes with its particular set of pros and drawbacks. Machines produced under the wing of Bernina are no different. They too have their flaws and good points too.
We went through several reviews on multiple online portals and figured out the general flaws and positive remarks of the Bernina Sewing Machines. Now that we have discussed almost everything about Bernina sewing machines, we would like to conclude our blog dedicated to the reviews of sewing machines from Bernina. For those mixed up with Bernina and Bernette, Bernina is the parent company of Bernette. They use the name Bernette to produce sewing machines for the domestic market.
One thing we found out about the Bernina sewing machines is its quality. However, with quality comes a hefty price tag which is quite obvious considering the productivity that Bernina provides.
Seamstresses who are serious about sewing or people who sew to run small-time businesses, these machines can be a boon. At no point in time, you would feel less good about the amount of money you spend to buy Bernina products. We hope that we had answers to all the questions you had in mind before reading this blog. If at all, any one of our readers thinks that a particular sewing machine is worthy of a mention on the list, write to us in the comments section below.

Best Multi Needle Embroidery Machine in We Are team of Experts and Enthusiasts. We are working on Various Projects related to Sewing. Wish I still had both those older machines. It never occurred to me that they most likely had metal parts and the newer machines probably have a lot of plastic instead!
I currently have a Viking Sapphire which is a nice machine and a Viking Diamond Royale which is basically a Sapphire with an embroidery module. I did not know anywhere near enough about machines when I bought these or I probably would have gone with Brother or BabyLock.
Laura at Slice of Pi Quilts has written many articles about adding an after-market laser and she recently reviewed a laser made specifically for sewing machines. Pricey for a notion, perhaps, but a lot cheaper than a new machine. This is a fantastic article, Julie, with lots of great things to think about. I agree with other posters that I would add reliability and ease of getting it serviced locally to the list.
That shop just went out of business owner retired so now I need a new service technician. Enjoyed all the comments on the different machines.
I have a Bernina and love it, a Singer lite weight with a lot of feet I real like and it does a good job but only had a small embroidery. The largest is 7 inches. Was looking at info on the Bernina Do not know witch model would be the simplest to work but not be limited to what it can do? Sorry this got a little long. I have an Eversewn Sparrow I love it. It has many features I love. I learned to sew on a Singer featherweight and wish I had kept it.
I have 5 machines too. It also has a stitch width of 7mm max for most zigzag and decorative stitches. The one I have is a version or two back and I was lucky to get it for a great price from a dealer who used it as a demo machine He tuned it up for me and it came with almost ever accessory you can get.
I LOVE it and it works beautifully for me. And yes, the laser guide is terrific for half-square triangles, joining borders, binding and anything else where you want accuracy. It was VERY easy to learn and has a terrific manual. One of the nicest features is that it tells you when the bobbin is almost empty. The Brother label is just a little less expensive.
I love this little machine. I use it as backup when the Brother needs routine maintenance. I also have a lightweight Brother SC which I take to my weekly quilting group get-togethers. It has just enough features for this purpose — needle-down, presser foot adjustment, easy-load bobbin, and it makes lovely stitches. Hefting it out of a closet or off a shelf would be difficult. We are all different in our sewing needs and wants. Some people are devoted to a specific brand, others look for special capabilities regardless of the make.
So much for my two-cents! Hi I took a kenmore to Laura Knowns first quilt lessons in Laffayett Ca and it wasent seen as pc but I loved that machine.
A little work horse and I made my first quilt and was hooked. I just bought a Janome Memory Craft two weeks ago. It has all the features you mentioned with the exception of the laser guide beam.
After trying out dozens of brands, most of which cost far more, I decide on the Janome. My previous machine was a Janome QDC which I still own and will continue to use especially for travel. I have had this machine over 10 years and it has been super dependable.
This may not be something you want to add to your list. But, I would add dependability. I have a newer machine that I love, but it too, is temperamental.
But,I would sacrifice some of the technology for dependability. Sysan is right. I have a message on my embroidery machine when the bobbin is running out. That would be nice. Re: Baby Lock — I tried one and liked almost everything about it, though it was a mi-range, not high end. But — I sometimes need to sew in reverse. It has a little 3 step stitch thing it does to lock the beginning or end of a seam to secure stitches, but you cannot sew in reverse.
I use my Bernina with the walking foot to quilt small quilts, and find stitching in reverse very handy. Like in the ditch around star points. I did not buy the machine for this reason. I cannot imagine that there is Babylock that cannot sew in reverse. My BLCrescendo will sew in reverse if you hold down the reverse button. Not very convenient for long distance sewing! That leaves only one hand for steering. I just bought a Baby lock Soprano,it does everything but embroidery.
It should come with the guy that does the sewing lol. I too am longing for the perfect sewing machine. I have 5 counting my serger. They each serve a specific purpose. The problem I see over and over again, are shoppers choosing poor quality models. In fact, the most popular online models, especially in the entry-level category are certain Brother and Singer branded machines.
A lot of these models are designed to be more like a toy than a tool and I mean this literally. Toy vs. Tool Plastic Housing vs. Have you ever split open a toy?
I have many times when my kids were little when they broke. It usually has 2 plastic halves with a seam split down the middle. Inside, all the components shafts, gears, electrical etc This makes the toy inexpensive to make. You also know that toys are not made to last because they don't have to. The child will most likely grow out of it or is on to the next one.
Look at the toys you still have around or hand on down to your children. They are usually very well made and built with quality materials and simplicity. Unfortunately, the average toy design is not good for a tool and that is exactly what a sewing machine is. The most popular entry-level sewing machines sold on-line commonly have a toy design. In fact, I see these same machines getting 4 and 5 stars from consumers. I guarantee you that if they sew a lot or have sewn on a machine with a 1 piece metal alloy casting that star rating would be a 1 or 2.
You cannot build a precision tool that has a year life without a solid platform or foundation. A metal alloy housing is a must.
Here are Dan's sewing, embroidery, quilting, long-arm, and serger sewing machine picks for My 2nd Bernina in - a QE which is when I started quilting. I also have an older vintage Record. My purchase experience for the first 2 was great. Both businesses I bought them from offered lessons. I have a that I bought in It is still humming along. I got a about 2 years ago used and I use it to travel to guild meetings before covid. Both buying experiences were great.
I have been quilting about 20 years or more. Sewing since I was a child on a singer treadle! Just moved, machines and fabric last to be liberated! Chose Bernina because of nearby service in my town. Bought in or so from my local dealer and quilt store owner. Love them both I own two Bernina's. A and a three fifty.
