The Bernina sewing machine has a reputation for superior performance and long-term durability. If you’re looking at purchasing a new sewing machine, the Bernina 480 offers some features that will amaze seamstresses of all skill levels. Before you make a decision, consider what makes this particular machine superior to other models.

A Guide to the Bernina 480 Sewing Machine

1. Automatic Features

The automatic features on this machine will save time, leaving your hands free. It can thread needles, follow patterns, and measure length on its own. This allows you to work more quickly and focus on what matters – your creativity! The automatic thread cutter will cut your thread and lift your needle at the touch of a button.  

2. Extended Freearm

The extended freearm provides 7 inches of space to the right of the needle. There is a slide-on extension table included that allows you to use the freearm conveniently. It will enable you to work on those large projects that require more space, such as quilts, without having to purchase a separate machine.

3. Touch Screen

The screen allows you to program various features and keep track of your progress. It suggests adjustments for your multi-function knobs, and there is on-screen support from consultants when you need help finding the right settings. You’ll never be on your own again when trying something new.

4. Adjustable Pressure for Presser Foot

The machine has a basic adjustable setting for your presser foot. This allows you to sew different types and thicknesses of materials with ease and without re-learning your pressure needs with each project. You can increase the pressure for thin fabrics and decrease it for the thicker ones.

5. Speed

The signature Bernina hook keeps your stitches consistent at high speeds so that you can get more done without sacrificing quality. It reaches speeds of up to 900 stitches per minute with perfect precision for 9 mm stitch width. The jumbo bobbin allows for fewer stops while sewing and can be conveniently front-loaded when projects require it.
