8 Things You’ll Love About the 7 Series:
Extra-Long Free Arm
The BERNINA 7 Series includes a meticulously-engineered extra-long free arm
with 254 mm of space to the right of the needle—plenty of room for big sewing
projects. Large designs can also be embroidered on the super-sized embroidery
area. When needed, the BERNINA 780 can be enhanced with a huge selection
of accessories.
Endless Embroidery
You can create mirror images, as well as rotate, combine or resize your designs
right on the colour touch screen. Personalise with decorative stitches or alphabets
with embroidery patterns. Preview alternate colour options on the touch screen
and save them on your machine or on a USB stick. Use Absolute Check for perfect
design placement.
The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR)
The BERNINA 780 is equipped with the BSR function. The BSR foot provides
high-speed free-motion stitching assistance with both straight and zigzag stitch
options and it comes standard with the machine.
BERNINA Dual Feed
Optimum visibility and superb fabric feed. The innovative BERNINA Dual Feed
tames hard-to-manage fabrics. Easy to engage when needed, the BERNINA Dual
Feed tucks completely out of the way when it’s not.
Total Stitch Control
All BERNINA 7 Series models provide an exclusive level of stitch control. Whether
altering the stitch length, stitch width, or needle position—or even creating
combinations—the machine will remember the stitch details for you.
Embroidery module with an extra-large
embroidery space

The BERNINA 780 offers hundreds of stitches, all of which are clearly
categorised and easily accessible. In addition, there are over 130
built-in embroidery designs and 12 alphabets. Your own embroidery
designs can also be quickly loaded via a USB connection.
Tips and Tricks
User-friendly features and intuitive navigation: the Sewing
Consultant and built-in tutorials offer direct onscreen support and
answers to your questions any time, day or night.
Greater Sewing Pleasure
The 7 Series machines respond to your needs. For example, the
presser foot automatically lowers at the start of a seam and lifts
again at the end. The machine will even cut the thread for you at
the end of your seam or colour change. Also included is a practical
extension table with ample space to hold your larger sewing
projects.
Slide speed control

Extended free arm that is 13 inches long
with ten inches to the right of the needle
Semi-automatic threading

BERNINA Quality
For decades, BERNINA has been passionately devoted to the
development of sewing and embroidery machines. Swiss
precision is at the heart of each of our products, and high-
quality materials guarantee a long life and high performance.
The BERNINA 780 offers many features to make sewing easier.
Inventions such as the semi-automatic threading system, the
BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR), the BERNINA Dual Feed, and
the embroidery system, are proof of this superior quality.
Simple and classic are a couple of words that describe the new
BERNINA 7 Series. At BERNINA, we concentrate not only on
sophisticated technologies, but also on setting new standards
in product design and performance.

A World Premier: The New BERNINA 9 Hook
With the launch of the 7 Series, BERNINA introduces the exclusive new
BERNINA 9 Hook (B 9 Hook). Combining the two best hook technologies; the
stitch quality and flexibility of the classic BERNINA CB shuttle with the speed and
quietness of a rotary hook, the B 9 Hook is patent pending.
The new heart of the BERNINA machine features a novel, centrally-placed driver,
which allows the B 9 Hook to run fast and quiet. The B 9 Hook sews high-precision
stitches up to 9 mm in width with speeds up to a 1,000 stitches per minute. And the
bobbin has 80 percent more thread capacity than our standard bobbins allowing you
to sew longer without interruption.
Finally, the B 9 Hook is made of high-quality materials that allow the thread to run
smoothly at consistent tension.
BERNINA—made to create.
