These four activa models will not only inspire you with their great
prices, they'll also inspire you to create so many beautiful projects.
Whether you want to make quilts, garments, crafts, or decorations
for your home, activa machines are packed with power, features
and fun. And each one offers the Swiss precision and true quality
that make Bernina machines legendary.
In fact, everything about these machines says quality.. .from the
precise CB Hook, which ensures perfect stitches on any fabric, to
the powerful DC motor, which penetrates layers of fabric at any
speed. They also offer a wide variety of stitches—up to 256 on the
240 model—one more lovely than the next.
The activa machines are computerized, too, and offer a variety
of features to make your sewing easier and more fun than ever
before. You'll appreciate the time-saving Temporary Altered Stitch
Memory, which remembers the changes you make to each stitch
during your sewing session. Plus, features like an Automatic Needle
Threader and Needle Stop Up/Down take the frustration out of
sewing, so you can focus on your creativity.
The activa 230 PE and 240 also come with a freestanding accessory
case that attaches to your machine for easy storage and traveling.
This convenient case is optional on the 210 and 220 models as
well. And that's Just the beginning of the great features on these
inspirational machines.
