The BERNINA 475 QE pairs an easy-to-use touch screen with a Jumbo Bobbin and adjustable presser foot pressure — built for quilters who want precision without a steep learning curve.
Precisely manufactured down to the last detail. Durable build, deep accessory ecosystem, and long-term parts availability.
Threads are cut automatically, or if you prefer, magically. Even the needle lifts, leaving your hands free to keep on creating.
The BERNINA Free Hand System lets you lift or lower the presser foot using only the knee lifter, so your hands stay on the project.
Perfect precision is achieved with each stitch thanks to the BERNINA Hook — projects finish faster at speeds up to 900 stitches per minute.
Every quilter appreciates the Patchwork Foot #37 for its accurate feeding and stitching when piecing patchwork blocks with precision.
The Sewing Consultant helps you find the right settings, and suggested adjustments are made quickly with the multi-function knobs.
