Description
Wide decorative stitches and everyday sewing control
The BERNINA 480 combines a 9 mm stitch width with a compact 4 Series workspace. Sew garments, piece quilts or build decorative stitch combinations while using the touchscreen and automatic thread cutter to keep routine steps simple.
Create and adjust decorative stitching
Choose stitches on the colour touchscreen and adjust their settings for the project. The wider stitch capability gives decorative patterns more room to develop across the fabric.
Control the pressure on the fabric
Adjust the presser-foot pressure to suit the material and layers. The extended freearm and included slide-on table provide working room around the needle for larger fabric pieces.
Reduce interruptions during sewing
The jumbo bobbin helps you sew longer between changes, and the automatic thread cutter handles trimming at the end of a seam. A semi-automatic needle threader assists with setup. The compatible BERNINA Stitch Regulator is an optional quilting accessory.
