Bernina 790 PRO Quilting, Sewing, and Embroidery Machine

Description

Bernina 790 PRO Sewing Machine

The BERNINA 790 PRO is a top-of-the-line sewing, quilting, and embroidery machine designed for professionals and advanced enthusiasts. It offers 500 stitch patterns, 200 embroidery designs, and a large color touchscreen for easy customization. With the BERNINA Dual Feed system, enhanced stitch quality, and an expansive sewing area, it ensures precise results and smooth handling, making it perfect for complex projects and high-volume sewing.

Prospective buyers ought to be aware that everything about Bernina is unique and proprietary.  You should not get this machine unless you have a relationship with a competent Bernina dealer. Not anyone can work on these machines.  Unique parts, tools and training are required to support these machines.  My analogy is that you can often take a Toyota or Ford to a good general car mechanic but you wouldn’t want to take a Porsche to anyone other than a factory trained Porsche mechanic.

Quilting on the Bernina 790 PRO ★★★★☆

+ 10″ Throat Space

+ Built-in dual feed (AKA built-in walking foot)

+ Electric Presser Foot Lift (AKA pivot feature or hover feature)

+ Comes with Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) in the box with the machine.

+ Electric presser foot lift with customizable heights makes pivoting the fabric easy.

+ Embroidery Module comes standard for Quilting-In-The hoop techniques.

– The only reason the B790 PRO has 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because the throat space is 10 inches, while 5-star quilting machines have more than 13″ inches of throat space.

Clothes, Garment, Mending on the Bernina 790 PRO ★★★★★

+ Beautiful selection of garment-making stitch patterns like buttonhole, eyelet, bartack, overcasting, etc.
+ Compatible with straight-stitch needle plate.
+ Features the Bernina Creative Consultant where the user inputs fabric type and stitch application, and the machine adjusts tension, presser, foot pressure, and needle position accordingly, in order to create the best quality stitch possible.

Crafting on the Bernina 790 PRO ★★★★★

Ease of Use ★★★☆☆

+ Built-in walking foot is extremely easy to engage and disengage

+ Great lighting and great throat space

+ Jumbo Bobbins hold 70% more thread than regular bobbins, therefore lasting longer.

+ Needle plate pops on and off without screws, making it easy to switch to a straight-stitch needle plate.

+ Automatic thread trimmers

+ Programmable Needle up/down

+ Large, intuitive touchscreen

+ Easy to use Bobbin Winder

+ Pinpoint Laser

+ NEW Fully Automatic Needle threader

– Front-loading bobbin system produces great stitch quality, but is more difficult to load than a top-loading drop-in bobbin.
– The Bernina 790 PRO does not come with tons of different presser feet and accessories like other machines.  However, it is compatible with nearly all presser feet and accessories, which you can purchase a la carte.

Reliability ★★★★☆

+ Bernina is a Swiss company and the high-level Swiss engineering is evident in their sewing machines.  Bernina’s R&D facilities are located in Switzerland, with their factories located in Thailand.  The quality control is exceptional.
+ Bernina is the only family-owned company left in the industry.
+ Bernina has decades of experience making these vertical rotary hook machines with a front-loading bobbin.
– Bernina machines have a more exotic design than other modern machines, which lends itself to user error. For example, it is more difficult to load the bobbin and thread the needle on a high-end Bernina than a high-end Japanese machine.
– Because the machine’s design is exotic, it is more difficult to find a technician who truly knows how they work and how to fix them.

Heavy Duty ★★★★★

+ The B790 is designed with Bernina’s B9 hook system, which is capable of handling heavier thread than most home sewing machines.

Customer Satisfaction ★★★★☆

+ Customers particularly love the stitch regulator, Jumbo bobbins, built-in dual feed, and large throat space.
+ If you are a Bernina person who wants a Swiss-designed sewing machine with fantastic stitch quality, then you will probably love the Bernina 790 PRO.
– Because the Bernina 7-series has an exotic design and lends itself to user error, certain people who just want to sit down and sew and not think too much about all the machine offers are probably better off getting a machine that is easier to use from Janome, Brother, or Baby Lock.
