Exclusive! Total Stitch Control
The BERNINA 580 provides an exclusive level of stitch control. Whether altering
the stitch length (up to 5 mm), width (up to 9 mm) or needle position (up to 11)
or even creating custom combinations, you’ll appreciate the convenience of a
machine that remembers the stitch details for you.
The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) is designed to assist you in mastering freemotion techniques by keeping straight or zigzag stitches consistent at variable
sewing speeds. The BSR offers confidence for the beginner and additional
insurance for the experienced quilter. The BSR is available as an optional accessory for the B 580.
More Memory Options
Let your B 580 keep track of the details with multiple memory functions. It
remembers the changes you make to the stitches as you use them in your
sewing session. It will also remember your favourite stitch settings for each
stitch in a long-term memory. For creative applications, you can save multiple
combinations of sewing stitches as well as embroidery compositions in memory.
Combination memory and the My Designs folder keeps you organized.
Greater Sewing Comfort
Unique to BERNINA, the Free Hand System (FHS) comes standard
with the B 580. The FHS raises and lowers the presser foot while
releasing thread tension and lowering the feed dog, leaving your
hands free to guide your project. Also included is a practical
extension table with ample space to hold your sewing projects.
Plenty of Room to Expand Your Creativity
The BERNINA 580 was designed with your sewing and embroidery
future in mind. A variety of special accessories and presser feet
are included with the machine. When you are ready to expand
your options, you’ll find a broad range of accessories available.
Whatever new techniques you want to explore, you’ll find
the right accessories to help grow your sewing, quilting and
embroidery skills, including the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR),
embroidery design collections and embroidery software.
