convenient
mechanical
machine,

affordably.

This gem of a sewing machine has the
BERNINA features and easy convenience
beginners love…at a very affordable

garments, the machine offers 16 practical and decorative stitches plus an
easy-to-sew buttonhole. And every stitch
is perfectly balanced and evenly placed
right where you want it.

Stitch selection is fast and easy. And
the machine tells you which presser
foot, stitch length and width, and needle
position you’ll need for the best results. There’s also a handy thread cutter, a bobbin winder you
can’t overfill, and a host of other features that make sewing simple and fun.
