aurora 430 – The one for everyone and every application.

The aurora sewing machine is a sensation, making sewing easier than ever before. A wealth of new functions and the greatest possible ease of operation make the aurora a sewing machine for everyone and every application. Like the aurora 440 – a superb quilter – the aurora 430 is an outstanding sewer, with numerous practical and decorative stitches, several alphabets, buttonholes, and oodles of other BERNINA functions which make sewing easier as well as a true pleasure. Thanks to the optional embroidery module, the BERNINA ArtDesign software, and the unique embroidery control via PC, the aurora 430 can be transformed into a full-fledged embroidery machine.

Start/stop button



Start/stop button

The aurora’s start/stop button is especially practical, rendering the use of a foot control unnecessary and making quick sewing positively relaxing.

With the aurora, you can fill empty bobbins during the sewing, embroidery or quilting process, without interrupting your work.
