SEW WITH ABANDON AND ABSOLUTE CONTROL AT THE SAME TIME. Want to be in complete control of your creative process? The B 590, B 570 QE and B 535 allow you to make all the decisions. You decide what the stitch length and width should be. You choose the needle position. Want the needle down when it stops...you got it. An automatic upper and lower thread sensor on the B 590, B 570 QE and B 500 alerts you of a thread breakage. And all that control is right at your fingertips with the large, intuitive touch screen.

FRONT-LOAD JUMBO BOBBIN SO STOPS AND STARTS DON’T INTERRUPT YOUR GROOVE. The large jumbo bobbin is, well…big. It holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins and is conveniently inserted from the front, so no need to remove your project. Plus, these machines are perfectly sized for big quilts and modest sewing spaces.

TOO MANY ACCESSORIES? NEVER. A good variety of BERNINA presser feet come standard. As usual, they are full-shank metal. Also included is a well-designed accessory box that displays the contents clearly. For convenience, it magnetically attaches to the machine.

MORE STITCHES. MORE LETTERS. MORE OF THE STUFF YOU LOVE. Sometimes all you need is more options, more choices. When it comes to things like stitches and alphabets, the B 590, B 570 QE and B 535 offer hundreds and hundreds of decorative stitches and up to 9 alphabets. The B 570 QE is loaded with special quilting stitches. Plus triple stitch adds ‘wow’ to individual stitches and is available on the B 590 and B 570 QE.

PERFECT TENSION FOR PERFECT STITCHES INSIDE AND OUT. Get optimal thread tensioning on all 5 Series models for perfect stitch quality on both sides of the fabric. Get permanent control of the thread tension once adapted to the thread and fabric, plus automatic thread tension adjustment while sewing or embroidering. And the BERNINA Hook always keeps stitches perfect, consistent and precise.

 

 

Overview

Love to quilt? So does the B 570 Quilters Edition with embroidery module.

 

For these reasons Suzy Williams loves the B 570 QEE:

Enough space for bigger projects

  • Handle big quilts with ease
  • Live up to your quilt creativity
  • Enough room for comfortable quilting

The B 570 QEE with its extended freearm offers 8.5" right of the needle. Perfect to handle big quilting projects with the greatest of ease.

Keep your hands on the fabric

  • Adjust your quilt safely
  • Tiny adjustments can be done quickly
  • Rotate, turn & do appliqués easily

Thanks to the hover function the foot raises, but the needle stays in the fabric, making it easy to maneuver and turn as you appliqué and quilt.

Achieve perfect stitch results

  • Achieve perfect, equal-length stitches
  • Perfect results no matter which speed
  • Perfection comes standard

The BERNINA Stitch Regulator guarantees precise stitch quality and results at any speed during free-motion quilting.

 

Quilt all materials with ease

  • Enjoy superb fabric feed on both sides
  • Quilt many layers without puckers
  • Excellent for slippery or fine materials

The innovative BERNINA Dual Feed feeds the fabric evenly from above and below. It is easy to engage and tucks away when not in use.

Automatic features save time

  • Thread is cut automatically
  • Save time for your creative ideas
  • More time to focus on your quilt

Thanks to the automatic thread cutter, your thread is cut with an easy one-button operation. Keeps your work flowing easily and saves time.

Quilters love Patchwork foot #97

  • Designed for straight-stitching
  • Ideal for sewing ¼" seam allowances
  • Extra insurance to experienced piecers

The Patchwork foot #97 is the special accessory for the most accurate feeding and stitching when piecing patchwork blocks.
