I wanted a more professional finish to sewing projects which I couldn't achieve with a sewing machine. Threading and setting of the machine was a bit daunting at first, but this type of sewing ( overlocking and cover stitching ) is new to me. Instruction booklet is very helpful.

It's going to take some time to get to grips with my b77 because I've never used a computerised machine before, but I am excited to get going. One reason I decided on the Bernette b77 was that I have a combi b68, and it's great...very user friendly.

I had a problem with the small black plastic lever on my Janome 725S and spoke to Stephen in Technical. He couldn’t have been more helpful (and indeed patient ) as I had to send him a photo of the part. I have been using this machine for two and a half years and I find it tackles everything I ask of it - stretch, fine and thick fabrics. An amazing price for such a quality machine and the manual is very detailed, and the tutorials is a great help.
