An incredible new combined sewing and embroidery machine from Bernina Bernette.

The B79 is packed full of great features…never has a Bernette been so much like a Bernina!

500 stitch selections, including 3 sewing alphabets; plus on-screen stitch designer, 200+ embroidery designs and 7 embroidery fonts.

And that’s not all…sew at a silky smooth 1000 spm, thanks to the top-loading bobbin with rotary hook action and well balanced components.

The Bernette B79 sewing and embroidery machine uses the same interface as high-end Bernina models. It has a host of like for like features, for example…Electronic foot control with programmable back-kick function; Knee lifter; 15 Needle positions; Multifunction control knobs and easy to navigate touch screen.

The Dual Feed is invaluable when sewing on any type of fabric, but its best used with leather, denim, vinyl, velvet, terry toweling, fake fur, fleece and perfect for quilting multiple layers, sewing checked patterns or any slippery hard to sew materials. Push it out of position when not in use, or just leave it down or just use it all the time…that’s what I do!

What is Dual Feed..? Dual Feed is a separate upper fabric feed, which operates from above in conjunction with the lower feed, they grab the fabric and move it forward or rearward depending on the stitch length. It can be used for straight stitch as well as any other 7mm wide stitches. This feature alone is worth the outlay.
