Description
Precise patchwork in a compact sewing space
The BERNINA 475 QE pairs a manageable footprint with quilting-focused controls. Piece blocks, sew garments and guide larger quilt layers with a touchscreen, automatic thread cutting and a front-loading jumbo bobbin.
Keep the project moving
The automatic thread cutter trims the threads at the end of a seam. A semi-automatic needle threader assists with setup, and the jumbo bobbin reduces the need to stop for bobbin changes.
Support fabric at the needle
Adjust the presser-foot pressure to suit the fabric and layers. The Free Hand System knee lifter raises the foot while your hands stay on the project, and the slide-on table provides additional support around the freearm.
Choose quilting stitches and controls
Select and adjust stitches on the colour touchscreen. The included Patchwork Foot #37 supports accurate piecing. For free-motion quilting with stitch regulation, the compatible BERNINA Stitch Regulator is an optional accessory, purchased separately.
