Welcome

Dear BERNINA customer,

Congratulations! You have decided on BERNINA and therefore on a product which will delight you for years.

For more than 100 years our family company has attached greatest importance to satisfied customers. As for

me, it is a matter of personal concern to offer you Swiss development and precision at the height of

perfection, future-orientated sewing technology and a comprehensive customer service.

The BERNINA 7-series consists of various ultramodern machines, whose development not only focused the

highest demands on technique and the ease of use but also considered the design of the product. After all

we sell our products to creative people like you, who do not only appreciate high quality but also form and

design.

Enjoy the creative sewing, embroidering and quilting on your new BERNINA 790 PLUS and keep informed

about the various accessories at www.bernina.com. On our homepage you will also find a lot of inspiring

sewing instructions, to be downloaded for free.
