BERNINA 480

Bernina 480 has power, speed, perfection and ease. With one push the automatic thread cutter lifts your needle and cuts your thread leaving your hands free to keep on creating as easily and quickly as you like. Foot pressure can be individually adjusted, ensuring the ideal pressure is always used for whatever fabrics and materials you choose. The B480 has plenty of space with the extended freearm offering 7 inches right of the needle. The BERNINA Free Hand System lets you lift or lower the presser foot using only the knee lifter, keeping your hands free to guide your projects. The on-screen, there-when-you-need-it, Sewing Consultant helps you find the right settings. Make suggested adjustments quickly with the multi-function knobs.
