The BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition is a romantic fusion of two visionary heritage brands — Swiss precision engineering meets iconic British design. Produced in limited quantities, it features an exclusive faceplate printed in Liberty's Glen Lyon Blooms design, 32 exclusive Liberty decorative stitches, 91 Liberty embroidery designs, and a matching Trolley Set and Dust Cover. The Embroidery Module M with Smart Drive Technology (SDT) is included standard.
