Automatic Tie-Off & Thread Cutter

With the automatic tie-off function you no longer have to stitch backwards to prevent the seam from unraveling which speeds up sewing. Firstly press the tie-off button at the end of the seam. Next, the automatic thread cutter button, the threads are cut, and your seam is finished! You want it even faster?

    I love my Bernette B79. The stitch quality is amazing, the knee lift makes bigger projects so much easier to handle, and my favorite feature is the ability to recognize which hoop is in place and it can embroider from about any file format; jef., emb., pes., pec., art., dsb.,…. etc. The B79 is a great machine from the bernina line that is affordable.
