Description of Bernette 05 Academy Sewing Machine

Functions: Equipped with a wide range of functions, 30 exclusive stitches, and a fast motor, the b05 Academy lets you quickly realize your wildest ideas. For tricky projects that require a slower pace, you can reduce the maximum sewing speed. Super-large Slide-on Table: The easy-to-attach and included slide-on table makes sewing and fabric guiding even more comfortable, especially for large sewing projects. The fabric will glide smoothly over the rounded shaped table. Perfect Fabric Feeding Made Easy: Ensuring an even fabric feeding has never been easier thanks to the adjustable presser foot pressure. Unwanted gathering of both thin and thick fabrics is the past! Adjust the upper thread tension to optimally balance the upper and bobbin thread. Retractable Feed Dog: With help of the retractable feed dog, you will effortlessly have evenly spaced stitches when darning or free-motion sewing. Just lower the feed dog by a simple move on the back of your machine. Exclusive Stitch Selection for All Your Needs: Besides offering 30 essential stitches including the 1-step-buttonhole, the b05 exclusive stitch set features also the two most wanted stitches: Lycra Stitch for super-stretchy materials and Blanket Stitch

The hinge function is completely useless

At first I thought this machine was a good price. It's a bit noisy and clunky compared to my old car, but for a cheaper car I wasn't expecting it to be great. I find the "automatic" needle threader completely useless; It's much easier to just fill it by hand as the mechanism is fiddly and requires a lot of maneuvering to get it in the right position. The worst thing is that the buttonhole maker doesn't work at all. I set it up exactly as instructed and it fails every time. I've looked online…

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Only available in white

disappointed not working

I was very excited about this machine, I've watched every video I could find about it and read every review I could get. Unfortunately, after unpacking, I found that the flywheel was not spinning. The internal linkage that moves the needle up and down is covered by another piece of metal, making it impossible to rotate. Also characteristic was that the boxes in which the car arrived were completely undamaged; and it came with a standard test cloth showing the stitches have been tested. But I…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different

Bernette 05 Academy (Best Value) vs Singer HD vs Necchi Q132A

I have a Singer HD sewing machine but I was interested in the Bernette 05 Academy to order teaching it to my young son how to sew/quilt because it's easy, just mechanical and fast (1100rpm) and also has safety features like finger guards around the needle/presser foot (removable) and slower speed setting (until it's done go on 1100 rpm). ). I took a chance buying the "updated" version to save some money. The sewing machine was new and sewn straight out of the box. I am impressed. It's slightly…

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
