At the forefront of sewing technology
Leaders in innovation, Bernina was the first company to create a machine that could zig-zag, and this tradition of innovation has continued over the years. The artista 200E, was the first sewing and embroidery system in the world to be Microsoft® Windows® Powered and the Bernina Aurora 440QE introduced the world to the first stitch regulator on a domestic sewing machine. The revolutionary BSR (Bernina Stitch Regulator) made it possible for you to enjoy free motion stitching while maintaining stitch length and quality.
Then there is the latest innovation… the Bernina 8 Series. These remarkable machines, with the most space, most speed and most precision, simply outperform every other home sewing machine and open up a creative world you never thought possible.
Legendary Swiss precision
Every time you sew on a Bernina machine you'll enjoy the exceptional quality and reliability that comes from legendary Swiss precision. At the heart of every sewing machine, embroidery machine and overlocker, it is this precision that makes sewing on a Bernina so easy and so much fun. From initial inspiration to completion of your finished project, there are no barriers to hold back your creativity. It's no surprise then that all Bernina machines in New Zealand come with a 10 year mechanical warranty.
