What I love about my BERNINA!

• Perfect scant quarter inch foot with perfect fabric feeding of the finest fabrics.
• The best straight stitch, zig-zag and decorative stitches-Bernina makes me look good!
• Precision engineering made in Switzerland with genuine Bernina parts- you can feel and see the difference in quality. Everything just works together magnificently.
• Extremely stable specialty presser feet that really work for any sewing technique have no wobble sideways and are hand polished. There’s even different free-motion quilting feet options for different situations.
• CFL lighting wraps around the foot allowing me to see in any direction to quilt clearly even with the finest specialty threads-even during late night sewing sessions. No shadows.
• CB Hook system delivers stitch perfect quilting on front and back of work- no thread tantrums. The stitch plate is totally level with the free arm, and has no screws- it simply pops off for easy cleaning, no need for screwdrivers. I love the removable hook for thorough cleaning and joke my machines are the only part of our house guaranteed to be clean.
• Machine is tolerant of specialty, fussy threads though a needle or the bobbin and accepts a wide variety of thread fibre types and weights.
• Highly responsive, obedient machine reacts to my commands immediately- stops exactly when needed, starts smoothly every time. Buttons are conveniently positioned. 0.1 unit increment adjustments available for many stitches lets me customise stitches -to whatever size I need.
• Surprisingly large workspace in harp - sits totally flat with slide on extension table. I quilt huge quilts frequently in my Aurora 440QE.
• Separate bobbin winding motor and spool, bobbins wind firmly, perfectly each time.
• Knee lifter for hands free pivoting and super comfortable foot pedal, great for long sessions at the machine.
• Temporary altered stitch memory remembers during each sewing session customised stitch settings, even when I forget, so there’s no need to record stitches on paper.
• Machine is smooth and quiet at all speeds, motor is strong to handle extended daily quilting session with excellent needle penetration through thick layers. I can totally rely and depend on my Aurora 440 to deliver exactly whatever I ask of her. Thank you Bernina!
