Bernina 540 Sewing Machine

Step into real enjoyment with the Bernina 540 sewing machine, get ready to enjoy a rewarding Swiss engineering marvel, with precise stitch quality on every creation through its advanced capabilities.

The 9 mm zigzag width, enhances every decorative stitch, and like all 5 Series models, the B 540 features, an embroidery option, and a spacious 8.5-inch throat making it a longer body than the 4-series.  

The B 540 Enhances Your Passion To Sew

This premium computerised model is designed for sewers who want precision, power, and versatility in one elegant package. The Bernina 540 sewing machine gives you unmatched stitch quality whether you’re working on fine silks, stretch knits, heavy denim, or layered quilts. Sew every stitch in a very controllable way, using the foot control or without.

Its Bernina exclusive adaptive thread tension system automatically adjusts for perfect balance, while the jumbo bobbin and silky smooth running, full rotary hook system lets you sew longer with fewer interruptions. Cut threads, at a press of a button, set the maximum speed for intricate projects, use the knot, key to tie in thread ends at the start and end of a seam automatically. We do love the stainless steel, sleeve arm, which add a touch of class. In fact, the whole machine gives the user an ora of a well-engineered tool manufactured for one purpose (stitching), and it does sew very well indeed.

LED lights brighten the foot, needle and sewing bed. Presser feet quickly clip (very sturdily) in to place, and the huge selection of advanced feet offer the ability to grow your sewing passion further. 

On the rare occasions when you need to wind the bobbin, it will automatically stop when full, there is no need to un-thread the needle - the bobbin winder is self powered, you can't wind the thread on to the bobbin in the wrong direction. Similar to the rotary Bernina hook, inserting the bobbin into the bobbin case can only be inserted the correct way. Because the jumbo bobbin case is larger, it makes handling it easier too.

Numerous Beautiful Stitches

It features an easy-to-navigate colour touchscreen, offering step-by-step sewing tutorials and on-screen support for quick adjustments. With over 1,000 stitch patterns, including lettering, utility, decorative, and quilting stitches, you have endless creative freedom. The B 540 programmable memory allows you to save custom stitch combinations, making it simple to recreate your favourite patterns, words or names.

It’s a Quilters Dream

Quilters will love the adjustable presser foot pressure and precise feed system that keeps every layer aligned, while garment sewists will appreciate the semi-automatic threader, buttonhole system, free-hand system (knee lifter). The included Bernina Hook system ensures consistent, whisper-quiet operation even at high speeds.
