Founded in Steckborn, Switzerland more than 100 years ago, Bernina® is the world’s largest privately-held manufacturer of state-of-the-art sewing and embroidery systems, sergers and embroidery software. Bernina has been owned and operated by the same family for four generations. Bernina sewing machines are sold in 20 countries. 

Bernina of America was established in 1969 in Chicago, as the exclusive Bernina distributorship in the United States and sells through a network of approximately 500 fully trained dealerships. The Bernina artista 730E sewing and embroidery system is a 2007 “Consumers Digest Best Buy".

For Bernina, the last 75 years have provided a continuous progression of innovation:

1938 – First Bernina zig-zag sewing machine

1945 – First Bernina free-arm zig-zag sewing machine

1954 – First patented attachable presser foot (Today, Bernina offers more than 100     presser feet and accessories)

1963 – First patented knee-activated presser foot lifter

1971 – First Bernina with electronic foot control

1986 – First fully-electronic Bernina with automated one-step buttonholes and embroidery pattern memory

1998 – Birth of the artista model, the first sewing and embroidery computer created for sewing artists

2002 – First sewing and embroidery system with Microsoft® Windows® powered operating system, the artista 200E

2004 – Release of the patented revolutionary Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR), the only stitch regulator available in the home sewing market that automatically regulates straight and zigzag stitches at variable lengths so the user can easily and confidently create consistent free-motion stitching. The high-tech BSR has an internal sensor that “reads” the fabric while the fabric moves to regulate the stitch length accordingly

2006 – Introduction of Bernina Embroidery Software v5 with exclusive Advanced Appliqué feature.

2008 - The introduction of the world’s first luxury sewing and embroidery system, the Bernina 830.
