Customized “skins”: Your own personal BERNINA 215

Who says a sewing machine always has to look the same? For the BERNINA 215, there’s a very special option available: with BERNINA DesignSkins®, you can turn your 215 into an unmistakeable, entirely individual one-off. To do this, you can either select your favorite design from the various designs available at www.bernina.com/designskins, or use your own photos or graphics to lend an individual look to your BERNINA 215. Your design is printed on an easy-to-apply vinyl skin, enabling you to style your BERNINA 215 according to your wishes and preferences –it doesn’t get any more individual than that!

Right from the start, the BERNINA 215 lets you enjoy the optimum convenience of a Swiss precision sewing machine that’s revealed particularly in the details: for instance, its built-in needle threader which lets you rethread the machine when changing spools in the blink of an eye. This saves time and is a genuine help. The BERNINA 215 proves that even state-of-the-art sewing-machine technology needn’t be complicated, and leaves nothing to be desired as an easy-to-operate sewing machine. Ideal for beginners or occasional sewers!

Needle stop up/down for simple, safe sewing

Needle stop up/down for simple, safe sewing

At the touch of a button, the BERNINA 215 lets you set your needle to stop up or down in the fabric. What’s more, the sewing speed of the 215 can be reduced to half-tempo. You always maintain control over the sewing speed and the position of the needle when the sewing process is stopped. Since sewing speed can be adjusted to your personal abilities, even beginners can expect high-quality results.

Your desired stitch at the touch of a button

The BERNINA 215 offers you a range of the most commonly used practical stitches which are simply set at the touch of a button. Large, clear icons next to the direct-selection keys display the stitch in question, so that you can change the stitch at the press of a button. Thanks to this simple direct stitch selection, the BERNINA 215 is a uniquely user-friendly machine – a combination of versatility and simple handling that will give you years of sewing enjoyment. All the more so, as the BERNINA 215 is a cinch to upgrade with additional special accessories, allowing its potential applications to grow along with your own skills and expectations.
