Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better the Plus is now a Pro!
Bernina have added a number of really exciting additions to this model’s already impressive list of features, the creative options are truly endless. From the fully automatic needle threader to the amazing Bernina laser pointer and 4-point placement this machine is now even easier to use. WiFi connectivity and the Bernina stitch out app keeps an eye on your embroidery while you’re free to get on with other creative tasks.
- BERNINA Pinpoint Laser – A laser now shows the exact position where the needle will touch the fabric. In sewing, it works in every needle position, a USP of Bernina as it’s the only machine to do so in the market!
- Fully Automatic Needle Threader- Threading the needle has never been easier! Just follow the same thread path as other BERNINA 7 Series models and at the end, just press the new button on the machine and the needle is reliably threaded.
- WiFi connectivity - B 790 PRO is BERNINA’s first WiFi capable machine, which allows it to connect to the new Stitchout App and transfer designs to/from the Embroidery Software 9.
- 4-Point Placement – This morphing function is primarily used to adjust quilt designs to fit a square, irregular shape. This is a real game changer if your block is not as perfect as you would like. It can also be used when stitching out different 4-sided shapes such as a diamond. The fit function allows you to center a design with pre-defend margin spacing.
- BERNINA Stitchout App – This new app is a monitoring platform and helps you track the progress of the embroidery stitchout, by sending you notifications when the thread needs to be changed, a problem occurred, the stitchout process has finished etc.
- Customisable Quilt Designs - Read and edit professional level quilting pattern design files (BQM) from a built-in library, with more available online. Not only can you set the desired Stitches per Inch (SPI) for BQM files, now, all existing editing tools apply to BQM files.
- Align and distribute designs & Multi-line lettering and alignment –These features not only let users easily distribute and align their designs, but also now allows users to write multiple lines of text in one step, adjust the line spacing and align it to the right, left or centre.
- QWERTY keyboard – A simple but effective change. The keyboard layout on screen has been edited to align with standard computer keyboards to make typing even quicker.
- Stitch Precision² - The next generation BERNINA stitch precision2 technology makes your sewing, quilting and embroidery experience quieter, more precise, and joyful. Swiss innovations allow for enhanced stitch quality and up to 33% higher SDT embroidery speed.
- New elegant "anthracite" faceplate - with chrome details.
