BERNINA 380

A spacious sewing surface is a top priority with the BERNINA 380. The easy-to-attach extension table extends the sewing machine’s work area, ensuring better control over your sewing project. This means that the BERNINA 380 always affords you a clear view of your fabric, even with larger sewing projects. And should you want to use the free arm, the extension table can be removed from the sewing machine as easily as it was attached.

A few features of the BERNINA 380

The BERNINA Free Hand System for Extra Comfort

Offering ambitious sewers and quilters an amazing range of functions, the BERNINA 380 will thrill you with its many innovative features. The 380’s ease of handling makes working with it a genuine pleasure, and allows even beginning sewers to produce precise, high-quality sewing projects. One of its cleverest features is the BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS), which ensures greater efficiency when sewing. Thanks to the BERNINA 380’s FHS knee lever, you can leave your hands on your project while you raise the presser foot and lower the feed-dog. This outstanding functionality is a genuine technical highlight allowing you more control over your fabric, especially when turning your project: your hands remain free to guide the fabric accurately and reliably, thereby preventing accidental slipping of the fabric when the presser foot is raised.

Memory Function for 30 Stitch Settings and Combinations

The BERNINA 380’s internal memory boasts 30 free locations where you can permanently save your own stitches. Now, if your work is interrupted, your personal stitch combinations will no longer be lost: the next time you turn on your BERNINA 380 sewing machine, the programmed stitch patterns will be available once more at the touch of a button – exactly as you’ve saved them. This intelligent memory function of the BERNINA 380 makes jotting down notes unnecessary, and ensures that you can be sewing in no time flat, without first having to reset the machine. In this way, the 221 built-in stitch patterns can be effortlessly expanded by your own personal creative combinations or stitch settings. What’s more, the simple direct selection of the stitch programs ensures a quick switch between your own combinations and built-in stitch patterns, making for smooth transitions.

Creative Plus: Mirror function at the touch of a button 

The BERNINA 380’s automatic mirror function significantly expands the already wide range of stitch patterns that come as standard. At the touch of a button, the built-in stitch patterns can also be sewn in mirror image. This wide variety of attractive stitch combinations is possible not only with practical sewing, but also with decorative stitching. In this way, the BERNINA 380 sewing machine offers a plus in functionality which leaves plenty of room for your individual creativity – further testimony to the outstanding price/performance ratio of the popular top model of the 3 Series.

Additional Features of the BERNINA 380

Along with the feature of pattern mirroring and Free Hand System (FHS), the BERNINA 380 has a built in function to start/end a pattern.

BERNINA 350 PE

The BERNINA 350 PE counts among its features a free-arm extension table enabling you to increase your work area quickly, affording you greater ease when sewing, and allowing for optimum control in guiding your project. Together with the bright LED sewing light, this provides you with the perfect view of your project. Large-format projects in particular can be handled effortlessly – and once you are done, remove the BERNINA 350 PE’s extension table with the push of a button to return to free-arm sewing.

A few features of the BERNINA 350 PE

High precision automatic buttonhole function 

Sew buttonholes with precise accuracy! With the BERNINA 350 PE’s automatic buttonhole function, it could hardly be simpler: the preset buttonhole length is stored in the internal memory, letting you sew buttonholes of the exact same length as often as you wish.

BERNINA 330

The BERNINA 330’s broad variety of 97 stitches are an invitation to try out and experiment, letting you create attractive stitch combinations that you’ll want to use again the next time you turn on your machine. Whereas in the past you’d need a notebook to jot down your stitch combinations, the BERNINA 330 offers a generous long-term memory with 30 free locations for your own stitch creations. This ensures that your favorite or most frequently used stitch combinations are immediately available again at the press of a button. The BERNINA 330 offers an extra touch of luxury missing from many entry-level machines – room for your own creativity. The memory function is also a useful aid when the BERNINA 330 is being used as a sewing machine for sewing classes, since it ensures that required stitch combinations are also available again in the next class, exactly as they were saved. This saves time and guarantees identical results. 

These are the features of the BERNINA 330

Threading made easy

Inexperienced sewers in particular often find it difficult to rethread the machine correctly when changing thread. The BERNINA 330’s built-in needle threader saves you time and effort, making thread changes easy and hassle-free and minimizing the risk of error. No complicated thread guiding, no looking-up in the user manual – the BERNINA 330 pares down the threading process to the bare essentials and prevents problems before they occur, letting you get back to your sewing project faster and leaving you free to focus entirely on the creative side of things.

Bright LED sewing light for greater sewing comfort

The BERNINA 330’s bright LED sewing light let you achieve precise results and affords you a clear view of your project at all times, even with poor ambient lighting. Particularly during longer sewing sessions, an LED sewing light represents an essential feature, enabling you to sew for long periods without eye fatigue. The BERNINA 330 therefore also scores with an ergonomic advantage: – intricate sewing projects can be optimally controlled and the user’s eyes are spared thanks to the even, glare-free illumination of the work area. Here, the neutral light characteristic of the LED sewing light guarantees your ability to judge the color effect of the thread used even while you are sewing, entirely without distortions from external light sources with a color cast, such as neon tubes or lightbulbs. A small detail with a big impact!

BERNINA's Automatic Buttonhole function

Buttonholes can be a challenge even for experienced sewers and quilters. With the BERNINA 330, you’ll sew perfect buttonholes of the exact same length right from the start – thanks to the automatic buttonhole function. Simply set the desired length and sew; the settings are automatically saved in the BERNINA 330’s memory and are immediately available again for the next buttonhole, however many you sew in a row. The automatic buttonhole function guarantees completely identical buttonholes for instant sewing success. The BERNINA 330 provides even novices with an easy introduction to an advanced technique.
