Features Benefits
Stitch Package •14 practical stitches, 2 decorative stitches and 1 buttonhole.
Hopper Mechanism • Helps to hold fabric in place during freemotion work; prevents flagging.

Features Benefits
Stitch Length 0-5mm •Infinite stitch length selection; match the stitch length to the fabric and thread
selection.
Stitch Width 0-5.5mm •Infinite stitch width selection; can adjust for any type of fabric; smooth,
step-free satin stitching for appliqué.
Thread Cutter •Conveniently located on the left side of the machine; cuts and holds the
threads until sewing resumes.
6-Step Buttonhole •Both beads are sewn in the same direction for even stitch density. Density is
adjustable for perfect buttonholes on any fabric.
Bobbin Winder •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.
Accessory Case •Stores presser feet, bobbins, needles and sewing notions; fits onto the
machine and extends the sewing surface.
Carrying Handle •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.
Slide-off Stitch Plate •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.
Soft Cover •A soft cover is included to protect your machine from dust.
Stitch Selection Panel •Readable at a glance, the panel indicates the correct presser foot, needle
position, stitch length and width for successful sewing.
Consistent Thread Tension •Conveniently located; easy to use because a red line indicates the normal
setting. On most fabrics, the tension does not need to be adjusted.
External Dial to Lower Feed Dog •Easy to use for freemotion work and delicate fabrics.
Free Arm •Easy to work on small, cylindrical areas such as cuffs and collars.
Expandable •Add feet and accessories as you need them. BERNINA offers the widest variety
of feet and accessories to meet all your sewing needs.
