Review on 🧡 Bernette 79: Unleashing Your Creative Potential in Sewing & Embroidery by Denise Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What a beast!

I was planning to use the b79 for a few weeks before writing my review. This is a beast of a machine. Much more functionality than I expected. I'll probably never use more than ΒΌ of his sewing skills. I plan to use it for embroidery a lot more. I'm still trying to figure out how Burnett managed to get such a low price. Here is a list of my likes and dislikes. What I like β€’ Large die-cast aluminum inner frame. β€’ Lots of stitches. β€’ Fast for a consumer car. β€’ Guide the sewing foot. This can be disabled if you don't like it. β€’ Good LED lighting. β€’ It can read multiple types of embroidery files. β€’ It can be programmed to pause during embroidery to trim the ends. β€’ Built-in help menu. You help me but YMMV. Dislike β€’ Snap on the sewing feet. They have nothing mechanical. I just don't like her. β€’ Slow startup time. It's over 40 seconds. It has a big computer inside β€’ Function menus are not very intuitive β€’ Lots of menus to remember β€’ Instruction manual is pretty vague. Find a local retailer who can help you navigate the entire menu. β€’ This is a new model, so accessories are hard to find. Bernina is working on improving support. β€’ Loading the sub-coil. Be sure to hook the tiny tension hook on the front edge of the bobbin case. it took me a few tries until I figured out why sometimes the bobbin thread "nests". I'm fine if you do everything right. β€’ What was in the box was slightly different than what was in the manual when I described everything. Instead of two, there was only one large coil disc. Came with four coils instead of the three listed. It was trivial for me, so I didn't deduct any points for it. β€’ It should come with a non-stick foot. That's my subtlety.

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
