An All-Round Perfect Machine
Start/Stop Button &
Speed Control
Start or stop the machine
with the touch of a
button that is located
above the needle area.
The slide speed control
allows the user to manage
the max/min speeds of the
machine, which comes in
handy when mastering a
new technique.
Stitch Selection
Choosing your favorite
stitches has never been
simpler. You can make
your selections either by
stitch number or by
activating the intuitive scroll
buttons. And your choice
will always be shown on
the graphic display.
Separate Winder Motor
Save time without
interrupting your sewing.
With the separate motor,
you can wind bobbins
while sewing or
embroidering, and adjust
the winding speed for
delicate or stretchy
threads.
Accessory Box
Conveniently store
everything from bobbins
and presser feet to seam
rippers and lint brushes in
the included accessory box.
Plus it attaches to the back
of your machine for
compact storage and travel.
Extension Table
With the extension table,
the aurora offers another
useful accessory for
creating a larger working
area. The table is simply
attached to the freearm.
Informational Display
An informative digital display
tells you everything you need
to know to sew. From the
recommended presser foot
to the selected stitch and all
settings, your machine ensures
success with each sewing task.
Needle Threader
The practical threading
function makes it easy to
pass the thread through
the eye of the needle in
a matter of seconds.
BERNINA Stitch Regulator (optional)
The first of its kind, the BSR makes free-motion
quilting easy by ensuring uniform stitch length
even at variable sewing speeds.
Buttonholes
The perfect buttonhole
can make any project
extra special. That‘s why
you‘ll love choosing
among 9 different
automatic buttonholes.
Art Design
Utilize the power of your PC to embroider with style.
Use Art Design to enlarge, mirror-image, add text,
change design colors and combine designs. When
you are ready to embroider, helpful animations will
guide you through the process.
Free Hand System
Unique to BERNINA, 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.
Embroidery Module
(optional)
With the optional
embroidery module
and the power of your PC
beautiful embroidery is at
your fingertips. Combine
designs, add lettering and
make each project a
unique creation.
