Setup Program
You can select the desired language,
calibrate the touch screen and
retrieve information via the Setup
menu. New and brilliantly practical,
now you can effortlessly update
your artista 630E and 640E yourself
using a USB stick.
Separate Bobbin-Winding Motor
The speed of the bobbin-winding motor is adjustable and
helps you save time. You can wind bobbins while you
sew or embroider without having to interrupt your work.
Automatic Thread Cutter
With the artista 640E, just a touch of the button
automatically cuts both top and bottom threads.
In addition, the thread is automatically cut after
you finish embroidering a color in a design.
Centrally Located, Color-Touch Screen
The centrally located, color-touch screen displays all
the vital information you need, such as stitch width
and length, presser-foot pressure, feed dog and
needle position. Animations in the User Guide enable
easy and intuitive operation. You can also adjust the
brightness and color of the touch screen to your
personal preference.
Start/Stop Button and Slide Speed Control
Especially practical features are the Start/Stop Button and Slide Speed
Control. The Start/Stop Button lets you sew without a foot control—
a real help with long seams and quilting projects. The Slide Speed
Control allows you to adjust your pace to the difficulty of the job and
your individual preferences.
Cool Fluorescent Light (CFL)
The exclusive, U-shaped bulb illuminates the entire stitching
area. You’ll clearly see both your project and the needle,
increasing the ease and accuracy of your sewing. And the
light is specially designed to stay cool for your comfort.

Free Hand System (FHS)
This knee-operated Bernina innovation
raises the presser foot and lowers the feed
dog, so you can keep your hands on the
fabric when guiding and pivoting. More
importantly, it saves precious sewing time.
USB Connection (standard)
Bernina USB Stick (optional)
Bernina uses the latest USB technology
for rapid and direct communication
between your artista and your PC.
The Bernina Personal Design Stick allows
you to store and import embroidery
designs with ease. Design collections are
also available on USB sticks from OESD.
Stitch Animation
The Stitch Animation feature allows you to
follow the needle process, stitch by stitch, on
the color-touch screen. A Bernina exclusive.
Multifunction Knobs
The multifunction knobs make sewing easy
by letting you adjust stitch length and width,
as well as bobbin-winding speed. They also
help make your embroidery perfect by
allowing you to infinitely scale, position and
rotate designs. Also use these convenient
knobs to move through the tutorial.
Touch-Screen Sewing: Combi Mode
Functions, arranged by color, are easily accessible
and can be freely engaged on almost every stitch
in the machine. Not only can you mirror-image
and extend your stitches, but you can view your
changes easily on the touch screen. During the
sewing process, both the current stitch and the
end of a stitch are displayed.
Touch-Screen Sewing: Decorative Stitches
Select from an extensive library of inspiring
decorative stitches to embellish your home
decorating, garment, quilting and
craft projects.
Touch-Screen Sewing: On-Screen
Buttonhole Measurement
Just hold a button to the screen, turn a knob
and the artista automatically sews out a perfectly
sized buttonhole. Make several different
buttonhole styles automatically. The artista will
remember them for you—even after you turn
off your machine.

Touch-Screen Embroidering: Infinitely Variable
Embroidery Design Enlargement
All your important embroidery information is in view on the touch
screen, including design size, number of stitches, thread colors and
embroidery time, as well as all design modification functions.
Discover the exciting world of artista embroidery.
Embroidery Module
This easy-to-attach embroidery module gives you access to the wonderful
world of embroidery. The large embroidery field (255 mm x 145 mm,
approximately 10" x 5.7") gives your creative projects the space they
deserve. Additional embroidery hoops are also available.
Touch Screen Embroidering: Tutorial
Need help with hoop selection, threading the bobbin case, hooping
the fabric, design combinations, stabilizers or free-arm adapters?
No problem. With the tutorial feature and the multifunction knobs,
help and tips are quickly and easily viewed on the color-touch screen.
Explorations Software
It’s the perfect companion to Bernina Embroidery Software.
This project-based software lets you see your entire project on the
screen, complete with fabrics, before you ever make a stitch. Use the
Color Wheel to instantly change colors, combine designs without
worry by using the “remove overlaps” tool, and much more!
Embroidery Designs
The artista 630E and 640E come with a total of 70 and 90,
respectively, preprogrammed designs to choose from. In addition, the
two beautiful Laurel Burch butterfly designs on this page are also built
in. The ability to freely combine and edit designs and alphabets on
screen will give you endless creative options.
Rescalable Embroidery
The artista 630E and 640E sewing and embroidery systems rescale your
embroidery for beautiful designs at any size. Instead of just resizing,
artista recalculates the number of stitches needed when enlarging
designs greater than 120% or reducing less than 90%. You can also use
the power of Bernina Embroidery Software to rescale designs of any size
with ease. As always, Bernina gives you the options you need to take
flight into the wonderful world of embellishment.
Bernina artista gives you beautiful embroidery at any size.

Optional accessories: a system that expands as you expand your creativity.
Patented* Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) (optional)
This patented innovation turns free-motion stitching into creative play. Only the Bernina Stitch Regulator regulates straight and zigzag stitches at
variable lengths, so you can create consistent, free-motion stitching with complete confidence. And you don’t have to fuss with platforms or foot
pedals or frames––however, BSR can be used with a frame for additional creative options. No other home sewing machine in the world offers you
this type of feature! You’ll love it for making quilts, garments, home decorating projects and crafts, too. Visit www.BerninaBSR.com for details.
With the Bernina Stitch Regulator, free-motion stitching really is freeing.
Precision Presser Feet and Accessories
The artista 630E and 640E each come with 8 presser feet, but that’s
just the beginning. Bernina offers more than 75 feet and accessories
to expand your creative options.
Bernina USB Sticks and Design Collections
Create and store your own designs with Bernina Personal Design Sticks.
Plus, explore thousands of licensed and stock designs available on USB sticks
available from Studio Bernina Design Collections and OESD. Designs are also
available on CDs, in multiple formats through Embroidery Take Out (ask your
dealer) and from www.Embroideryonline.com.
Bernina Suitcase System
These sturdy suitcases attach to put your entire system on wheels.
The main suitcase holds most sewing machines, and the top attachment
is for your embroidery module. Sold separately or as a set.
Mega Hoop
This three-position embroidery hoop is specially designed and engineered
for stitching extra-large designs—up to 150 mm x 400 mm.
Hoop-It-AllTM
Expand your embroidery possibilities beyond the confines of a regular
hoop with Hoop-It-All™ frames. The Giant Double Wide frames make it
easy to stitch large designs in sections, without rehooping! Cap Hoops
are the simple way to embroider hard-to-hoop items.
Benina Stitch Regulator and Embroidery Software
Remember the revolutionary Bernina Stitch Regulator, Bernina
Embroidery Software and Explorations Software are all available as
exciting options for the artista 630E and 640E.
