Below are just a few of the great features you'll find on Bernina Sewing, Serging, and Embroidery Machines.
"I cannot express the joy I get from quilting on my aurora 440 QE with BSR. I have been sewing for 65 years, used all types of machines, and this is the best. I particularly like to machine quilt my own quilts and have just had a ball. It is easy to learn and operate. Once you try the Bernina Stitch Regulator you will want to own one." - Doris J. Anderson, East Corinth, VT
