BERNINA 1008: 17 stitches for sewing success
The BERNINA 1008 offers 17 different stitches, including a buttonhole and two decorative stitches. Thanks to this, and the ability to vary stitch length and width, you’ll be able to accomplish all your sewing tasks reliably and precisely.

The BERNINA 1008 places different straight and zigzag stitches at your fingertips – a versatile basic configuration that makes it easy for beginners, yet offers everything they could need for sewing, hemming, mending or decorative embellishment.

The BERNINA 1008 also impresses with its durability and versatility, ensuring that you’ll enjoy your sewing machine for years to come.

Last but not least, using a mechanical machine helps you develop an unmistakable sixth sense for sewing, as you control all the sewing variables – all of which makes the straightforward, easy-to-handle, versatile BERNINA 1008 the perfect foundation for expanding your skills.

Variable stitch length and width
The BERNINA 1008 lets you alter stitch width and length in order to adapt the machine’s stitches to your sewing project.

The 1008’s stitch width can be adjusted in five different steps via the control dial. Stitch length is infinitely variable with the aid of its own control, and the needle position can easily be selected by simply turning a knob.

In this way, the BERNINA 1008 permits a wide range of sewing parameters allowing for ideal adjustment to the fabric you are sewing or to the effect you wish to achieve.

The 1008 therefore offers all the advantages of a mechanical sewing machine – state-of-the-art solid construction, ease of operation, clear stitch choice and stitch variation: a versatile mechanical sewing machine covering a multiplicity of uses, designed to bring out your creativity when you sew.

Straightforward darning and free-motion sewing
Thanks to its exceptional ease of use right down to the details, the BERNINA 1008 also shines at mending and free-motion stitching.

Its feed-dog can be lowered by simply turning the appropriate control dial, quickly changing the 1008 to free-motion stitching mode.

This allows you to guide the fabric freely according to your fancy, and to give your stitching whatever shape you wish.

The feed-dog drop feature is particularly useful when sewing outlines, appliqués or decorative seams, or when reinforcing edges: here, the free-motion functionality of the BERNINA 1008 gives you full control over the sewing direction – ideal for sewing over pre-marked lines or outlines – as well as giving you a free hand with design.

Moreover, the BERNINA 1008’s feed-dog can be reactivated just as quickly and easily with a simple turn of the control dial once you’re ready to go back to automatic feed.

Swiss engineered for quality performance, the Bernina 215 is the perfect first machine or travelling companion.

Extension Table
The additional extension table – simplicity itself to attach to the free arm – offers greater comfort and convenience and a larger work surface to make sewing easier.

A spacious sewing surface is a top priority with the BERNINA 380. The easy-to-attach extension table extends the sewing machine’s work area, ensuring better control over your sewing project. This means that the BERNINA 380 always affords you a clear view of your fabric, even with larger sewing projects. And should you want to use the free arm, the extension table can be removed from the sewing machine as easily as it was attached.


The BERNINA Free Hand System for extra comfort

Offering ambitious sewers and quilters an amazing range of functions, the BERNINA 380 will thrill you with its many innovative features. The 380’s ease of handling makes working with it a genuine pleasure, and allows even beginning sewers to produce precise, high-quality sewing projects. One of its cleverest features is the BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS), which ensures greater efficiency when sewing. Thanks to the BERNINA 380’s FHS knee lever, you can leave your hands on your project while you raise the presser foot and lower the feed-dog. This outstanding functionality is a genuine technical highlight allowing you more control over your fabric, especially when turning your project: your hands remain free to guide the fabric accurately and reliably, thereby preventing accidental slipping of the fabric when the presser foot is raised.

Memory function for 30 stitch settings and combinations

The BERNINA 380’s internal memory boasts 30 free locations where you can permanently save your own stitches. Now, if your work is interrupted, your personal stitch combinations will no longer be lost: the next time you turn on your BERNINA 380 sewing machine, the programmed stitch patterns will be available once more at the touch of a button – exactly as you’ve saved them. This intelligent memory function of the BERNINA 380 makes jotting down notes unnecessary, and ensures that you can be sewing in no time flat, without first having to reset the machine. In this way, the 221 built-in stitch patterns can be effortlessly expanded by your own personal creative combinations or stitch settings. What’s more, the simple direct selection of the stitch programs ensures a quick switch between your own combinations and built-in stitch patterns, making for smooth transitions.

Creative plus: Mirror function at the touch of a button

The BERNINA 380’s automatic mirror function significantly expands the already wide range of stitch patterns that come as standard. At the touch of a button, the built-in stitch patterns can also be sewn in mirror image. This wide variety of attractive stitch combinations is possible not only with practical sewing, but also with decorative stitching. In this way, the BERNINA 380 sewing machine offers a plus in functionality which leaves plenty of room for your individual creativity – further testimony to the outstanding price/performance ratio of the popular top model of the 3 Series.
