Why quilters love the B590

• Grow Your Stippling Skills: Use the (BSR) foot for free-motion quilting, ensuring stitches of the exact same length even at variable sewing speeds.
• Tames hard-to-manage fabrics and fine patchwork pieces. Engage the integrated dual feed to stop sandwiched fabrics slipping, it feeds the material in unison with the feed dog, and tucks away completely when not needed. 
• Hover mode will lift the presser foot a fraction, just enough to relocate the fabric for better placement. The presser foot lowers automatically at the beginning of a seam. 
• Kick-back on the foot pedal to raise or lower the needle for corners.
• Bernina presser feet are solid and very well-made with zero wobble, the included patchwork foot is no exception. Use it to sew 1/4" or 1/8" (approx. 3 or 6 mm) seam allowances.
• Free Hands system help while maneuvering big quilts, use your knee to lower the feed and lift the presser foot, allows both hands to manipulate a larger quilt.
• The Bernina Accessory Wardrobe transforms storage from a mere junk draw, into a bespoke, custom-fitted suit for your tools. Each presser foot has it place, meaning no more clutter. Then, when the see-trough doors are closed, it stores its self using magnets to the rear of the B590
