Product details

The advantages of a mechanical sewing machine lie in its proverbial robustness and ease of use. Experienced seamstresses appreciate the direct access to all stitch parameters and the unparalleled control over the sewing process that a mechanical sewing machine offers. Beginners benefit from a mechanical sewing machine as it provides optimal opportunities to learn the craft aspects of sewing. Despite the absence of electronic components, the mechanical sewing machine is state-of-the-art: bobbin and hook systems, feed dogs, and comfort features match those of electronic models and guarantee the best stitch quality. Naturally, BERNINA mechanical sewing machines can be equipped with the latest stitch plates and presser feet, which are available in a wide variety.

When sewing with a mechanical sewing machine from the BERNINA Classic series, you can directly access all important stitch parameters and keep all settings in view. The stitch selection chart helps you determine the appropriate combination of presser foot, stitch length and width, as well as needle position – just like with an electronic model. Free-motion sewing is also made easy thanks to the drop feed.

BERNINA mechanical sewing machines – sewing with proven Swiss precision.
