Description
Sew, quilt and choose your embroidery setup
The BERNINA 590 combines a broad sewing area with automatic controls for garment making, quilting and embroidery. Choose the existing configuration with or without an embroidery module to suit how you want to work.
Spend more time guiding the fabric
The automatic thread cutter handles thread trimming, and presser-foot lifting and hover controls help when turning or repositioning a project. The 8.5-inch working space gives room for larger fabric pieces.
Handle layers with more control
BERNINA Dual Feed assists fabric movement from above with compatible feet. Adjustable pressure and the colour touchscreen let you tune the setup to the stitch, material and technique.
Place and finish embroidery carefully
For the embroidery configuration, Pinpoint Placement helps align a design with marks on the hooped fabric. Thread Away Mode and the secure functions help manage thread cuts and finishing. Select the Embroidery Module option shown in this listing; separate hoops and specialty accessories are optional unless included in the chosen offer.
