The B 570 QE was made for quilters. The automated features keep you fast and efficient with no worries. The great tension and perfect stitches are a must while the well-known quality of a BERNINA gives you peace of mind when quilting lots of layers or sewing super fast. Quilters, you’ve found your machine.

EXTENDED FREEARM
8.5” of space to the right of the needle handles big quilts and tons of creativity.
SPECIAL QUILTING STITCHES AND EMBROIDERY MOTIFS
The B 570 QE is pre-loaded and ready to roll with more than 70 stitches and designs especially for quilts.
PATCHWORK FOOT #97D
No made-specifically-for-quilting machine, like the B 570 QE, would be without it.
BERNINA STITCH REGULATOR (BSR)
The BSR functionality is integrated, the BSR foot is an optional accessory. It ensures even stitch lengths regardless of sewing speed when free-motion quilting with the feed dog lowered.
AUTOMATIC HOVER FUNCTION
The presser foot raises but the needle stays in the fabric. The foot floats above the fabric, making it easy to rotate, turn, do appliqué and quilt.

You are all about the pretty. Pretty stitches, pretty designs, pretty amazing. We’ve got the machine for you. We’ve taken tedious tasks and automated and simplified them. These machines are loaded with features that add convenience and precision to all your works of art. Let the beauty begin.

INVISIBLE SECURE & SMART SECURE
Invisible Secure makes the perfected tie-on/off formation completely invisible while Smart Secure adds tie-on/off stitches if none are pre-programmed.
SMART JUMP STITCH CUTTING
Manual jump stitch cutting is a thing of the past when jump stitches are cut off automatically for clean, beautiful embroidery. (Subject to design properties.)
THREAD AWAY MODE
The practical Thread Away Mode is a swift movement of the hoop that pulls most of the upper thread tails to the underside for clean embroidery results on the top (B 590, B 570 QE and B 500 only).
THREAD-UP COMMAND
Lower and raise the needle to bring the bobbin thread to the top of the fabric at the start of stitching, leaving underside of embroidery clean.
SIMPLE ON-SCREEN DESIGN EDITING
All 5 Series models allow design edits directly on the screen during embroidery. Rotate, mirror, combine and rearrange with a simple touch of the screen. The Undo & Redo lets you easily go single steps back or forward while Group & Ungroup lets you edit all at once or individually. The Embroidery Consultant provides help, tips and tricks (B 590 and B 500 only).
PINPOINT PLACEMENT
Placing embroidery perfectly is easy on the B 590 and B 500. Simply select two points on the screen and match them with the markings on the hooped fabric. Your design is automatically aligned, rotated, resized and positioned to fit. Plus you have full visibility of the hooped fabric at all times.
ENHANCED EMBROIDERY WITH SMART DRIVE TECHNOLOGY (SDT)
The embroidery module M includes the latest Smart Drive Technology (SDT). It elevates your embroidery experience with enhanced stitch quality as well as smoother and quieter movement.
