Get a feel for this fantastic machine

  • Perfect tension for perfect stitches
  • More space for creative freedom
  • Get the right pressure every time

Do you tell stories with a quilt, or express yourself through hand-crafted clothes, or make everything more beautiful with embroidery? We know you. We get you. And we engineered our 5 Series line of machines expressly for you. It is perfectly sized, feature-packed and ready to sew, quilt and embroider quieter, faster, better and with fewer stops and starts thanks to the BERNINA Hook. Interest piqued? We thought so.

Sew with abandon and absolute control at the same time

Want to be in complete control of your creative process? The B 590, B 570 QE and B 540 allow you to make all the decisions. You decide what the stitch length and width should be. You choose the needle position. Want the needle down when it stops? You got it. An automatic upper and lower thread sensor on the B 590, B 570 QE and B 500 alerts you of a thread breakage. And all that control is right at your fingertips with the large, intuitive touch screen.

Front-load jumbo bobbin so stops and starts don’t interrupt your groove

The large jumbo bobbin is, well…big. It holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins and is conveniently inserted from the front, so no need to remove your project. Plus, these machines are perfectly sized for big quilts and modest sewing spaces.

Too many accessories? Never.

A good variety of BERNINA presser feet come standard. As usual, they are full-shank metal. Also included is a well-designed accessory box that displays the contents clearly. For convenience, it magnetically attaches to the machine.

More stitches. More letters. More of the stuff you love.

Sometimes all you need is more options, more choices. When it comes to things like stitches and alphabets, the B 590, B 570 QE and B 540 offer hundreds and hundreds of decorative stitches and up to 9 alphabets. The B 570 QE is loaded with special quilting stitches. Plus, triple stitch adds ‘wow’ to individual stitches and is available on the B 590 and B 570 QE.

Perfect tension for perfect stitches inside and out

Get optimal thread tensioning on all 5 Series models for perfect stitch quality on both sides of the fabric. Get permanent control of the thread tension once adapted to the thread and fabric, plus automatic thread tension adjustment while sewing or embroidering. And the BERNINA Hook always keeps stitches perfect, consistent and precise.
