Bernina
With BERNINA, you have a choice. BERNINA understands that creativity is not "one size fits all." As such, they provide different machines to fit your creative sewing needs. Click on the "made to create BERNINA" logo to go to the website and compare the machines. Because we are a "small" store, you may be surprised by our "small" prices! Come in today for a quote.
BERNINA 8 Series
Sewing, embroidering and quilting with exceptional precision, the BERNINA 8 Series machines offer everything you need to create professional-quality projects. BERNINA 8 Series sewing machines are characterized by maximum ease of operation and precision, and offer a wealth of professional features, such as the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) and extensive memory functions for your own stitch creations and combinations.
BERNINA 7 Series
With the launch of the 7 Series, BERNINA presents a world’s first, the BERNINA 9 Hook (B 9 Hook). Combining the two best hook technologies, the B 9 Hook is patent pending. The new heart of the BERNINA machine features a novel, centrally-placed driver, which allows the B 9 Hook to run steady and quiet. The B 9 Hook sews high-precision stitches up to 9 mm in width with speeds up to a 1,000 stitches per minute. And the bobbin has 80 percent more thread capacity than our standard bobbins, allowing you to sew longer without interruption. Finally, the B 9 Hook is made of high-quality materials that allow the thread to run smoothly with consistent tension.
BERNINA 5 Series
The BERNINA 5 Series boasts a wealth of setting and memory options that allow you to modify and permanently save the stitch combinations and variations. Needle position, stitch length and width, and sewing speed can be personalized with ease. And free-motion sewers benefit from the built-in BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) function enabling the use of the BSR foot which delivers precise stitches even at variable sewing speeds. There is also the option of a PC connection to turn the sewing and embroidery machines of the BERNINA 5 Series into multi-functional tools for discerning individuals who place value on high quality.

BERNINA Mechanics
The advantages of a mechanical sewing machine lie in its proverbial durability and ease of operation. Experienced sewers appreciate the mechanical sewing machine’s direct access to all stitch parameters, as well as its incomparable control over the sewing process - and for beginners, a mechanical sewing machine offers the perfect chance to learn the technical aspects of sewing. Despite the fact that it doesn’t rely on electronic components, the mechanical sewing machine is technically state-of-the-art: Bobbin-winding and hook systems, feed-dog and other convenience features match those of electronic models, and guarantee the best stitch quality.

With BERNINA, serging is simplicity itself: sewing, cutting and neatening in a single operation, with robust machines that are easy to operate and deliver excellent results.

At the same time, they offer a wealth of innovative features which make for easier handling and more precise results, such as swing-out presser feet, rolled-hem lever or differential feed: ergonomic, tried-and-true Swiss-quality serging.
Bernette
Each model has much to offer: robust design, numerous features and attractive design that will appeal to users of all ages. The bernette sublime sewing, embroidery and overlocking machines are produced by a modern and highly qualified manufacturer in Asia. BERNINA handles the quality control and ensures a high standard of performance. This allows us to provide our creative customers with the bernette sublime series at an excellent price/performance ratio. It’s not hard to see why a bernette is the best sewing machine for beginners: each bernette is so simple to use that even inexperienced sewers quickly achieve successful results with this machine. bernette sewing machines are solid, reliable, and cleverly designed - from the stylish block design to the built-in needle threader, the bright sewing light, and the recessed controls.
