Bernina 700e

The Bernina 700e is a fast and powerful embroidery-only machine. It comes with the Bernina embroidery unit L(SDT)  (for the 7 and 8 series) included.

The machine's extended freearm offers 10” to the right of the needle, handling the largest of projects with ease, and a large embroidery area of 15.7” x 8.3” (available when using the optional Maxi Hoop) helps you bring your embroidery ideas to life. Bernina’s small, medium and large embroidery hoops are included, and the machine will automatically recognise the hoop and stitch out area. The multiple spool holder holds up to 15 spools, enabling quick access to threads of different colours. 30 LED lights ensure your working area is well-illuminated at all times.

The B 700e offers 320 built-in embroidery designs, 18 embroidery alphabets and 1 large monogram set, and will embroider at up to 1000 stitches per minute. You can combine alphabets with embroidery or even create curved lettering effects. A large range of optional embroidery accessories and software are available to purchase, so the machine can grow with your expertise.

Enhanced editing functions allow you to realise your ideas directly on screen and use your creativity to create new designs. Specialised embroidery functions include pinpoint placement, undo/redo, endless embroidery, thread away, group/ungroup, invisible/smart secure, Colour Wheel, stitch density alteration and many more. You can mirror, rotate, combine and resize motifs. Guidance (including suggestions for needle size/type, thread and stabiliser) is available via the Creative Embroidery Consultant software. All this control is close to hand and easy to use, with the large, intuitive touch screen and multi-function knobs on the front of the machine, and you can save and retrieve your personal designs and settings.

The Bernina Hook system keeps every stitch consistent and precise. It incorporates a jumbo bobbin that holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins, which means fewer stops and starts with your sewing. And since it is conveniently changed from the front, there’s no need to remove your project.

The automatic thread cutter is another useful function of the B700e, cutting the thread and raising the needle in an easy one-button operation. Adaptive Thread Tension ensures high quality stitching with any fabrics. An automatic upper and lower thread indicator alerts you of a thread breakage. The practical Thread Away mode is a swift movement if the hoop that pulls most of the upper thread tails to the underside for clean embroidery results on the top. Whereas the Thread-Up Command will make the machine lower and raise the needle bringing the bobbin thread to the top of the fabric so you can secure the threads manually, allowing you to achieve clean results at the click of a button

The Bernina 700e is an amazing machine for those wishing to create beautiful embroidered items.
