It is at the top of most people's wish list.

Not forgetting the monogramming and sideways stitching, with an array of 30 LED lights to illuminate such a work area. The advantages give the user more space to sew bigger quilts or curtains, the included extension table helps support thoughts heavier items.

Sliding off the sewing table gives access to the slender stainless steel sleeve arm, which, then, can be used to sew or hem tubular items. Using the clever embroidery unit and machine capabilities, embroidery designs can be sewn using the smaller hoops, again utilising the sleeve arm to embroider on to pockets, jacket arms, or trouser legs.

The 7" 178 mm colour touchscreen not only allows designs and stitches to be viewed on screen before being sewn out, it gives a bright and clear area to edit, or customise built in stitches, and create custom embroidery designs with lettering for logos, names, slogans, using the new qwerty keyboard is faster. Function Icons are larger and easier to view for ageing eyes.

Use the B 790 PRO Wi-Fi to import embroidery designs quickly, it works in unison with the free to download Bernina Stitchout App to monitor the embroidery as its being sewn, even if you’re in another room, or in the garden. The Bernina embroidery software is also compatible for direct wireless transfer of designs to the B 790 PRO.

Its features are endless and listed further down the page, but at this point I feel the need to say, how impresses as to how quiet it is when stitching, great respect to the Swiss engineers who perfected this wonderful sewing and embroidery machine, it makes me smile every time I use it, defo one of my favourite models.

Quilting capabilities are considered imperative on this high-level of sewing machine, and the 790 PRO does not disappoint. Quilt like a pro, in fact, many professional quilters use this model to make quilts that are displayed regularly at the international festival of quilts. It gives the user customizable quilt design program, to bring the functionality of longarm quilting to the 790 PRO, you can even modify the stitches-per-inch setting.

Any sewer will love the Pinpoint Laser, to see exactly where the needle point will enter the fabric being sewn. The red laser dot will make the start and travelling points as you sew.
Use it for embroidery design placement, 4-Point Placement will position your embroidery or quilting block design into any area within the embroidery hoop, or fix a problem of the garment not being square in the hoop.

Archive exquisite free-motion using the included BSR Stitch Regulator, use it for straight or zigzag stitch for the very best free-hand quilting and every stitch will be precisely placed at an even space between stitches, no matter how fast or slow your moving your quilt block under this special BSR foot.

High-end embroidery module “L” with Smart Drive Technology (STR) gives this model faster, smoother embroidery stitching, even at higher speeds, with a neat precise stitch front and back.

With Stitch Designer, Shape Designer and 4-Point Design Placement, what about the basics like thread tension? Bernina B 790 PRO has this sorted and archives that renowned precision Bernina stitch quality with the help of Adaptive Thread Tension, which works in unison with the Bernina Hook that holds 70% more bobbin thread, and can sew 9mm width up to 1000 stitches-per-minute.

Hard to sew fabrics like organza, multiple layers, leatherette, towelling, denim are no match for the Dual Feed, the 790 PRO feeds the material from the top and well as under the foot from below. Each fabric movement, forward, sideways or backwards 0.3 mm or 6.0 mm is optimised and precise.

You’ll love the programmable foot control, giving power and speed when needed, but is very controllable slow speed when required for difficult stitch by stitch tasks. The default heel kick foot control setting is needle up/down. But you can program that heel kick to tie-off and adjust how many tie-off stitches you would like, cut the threads, lift the presser foot, or all of them at the same time.
