Superb fabric feed and precise, perfect stitches built for handling big quilts with ease. Threads are cut automatically, and the Patchwork Foot #97D comes included — with an embroidery module available if you want to add it.
Suzy Williams knows quilting — that's why she chooses the B 570 Quilter's Edition, made especially for quilters who want perfect stitches.

Thanks to the hover function the foot raises, but the needle stays in the fabric, making it easy to maneuver and turn as you appliqué and quilt.
BSR functionality is integrated into the machine; the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) is an optional accessory that ensures stitches of exactly the same length at variable sewing speed.

The B 570 QE's extended freearm offers 8.5" right of the needle — perfect for handling big quilting projects with the greatest of ease.

The innovative BERNINA Dual Feed feeds fabric evenly from above and below. It's easy to engage and tucks away when not in use.

Thanks to the automatic thread cutter, your thread is cut with a single-button operation — keeping your work flowing and saving time.
The Patchwork Foot #97D is the special accessory for the most accurate feeding and stitching when piecing patchwork blocks — included with the B 570 QE.
