Machine Manual

The BERNINA 500 E is a top-of-the-line embroidery machine, designed to provide the perfect start for embroidery enthusiasts and experts alike. This machine boasts an expansive workspace, ideal for larger embroidery projects. Its jumbo bobbin allows users to embroider for extended periods without needing to frequently reload thread, streamlining the creative process. Users can conveniently edit embroidery designs directly on the touch screen, with the freedom to undo and redo steps or edit designs individually or as a group. With the Enhanced Editing Functions, users can fully exercise their creativity and generate original designs. The machine also features a highly accurate design positioning system, Pinpoint Placement, which enables users to place their designs precisely without the need for a template.

To save time and enhance ease-of-use, the BERNINA 500 E offers several automated features, including an automatic thread cutter that cuts the thread and lifts the needle at the push of a button. It sets a new standard in embroidery perfection with its Thread Away Mode, which pulls threads down to the underside, ensuring clean and polished embroidery results on the top side. The machine's ability to deliver consistently perfect stitches quickly and quietly is testament to the superior technology that underpins it. Utilizing the BERNINA Hook system, stitches are kept consistent and precise, even at a maximum speed of 1,000 stitches per minute. Whether you're working on a simple project or an intricate design, the BERNINA 500 E guarantees finest embroidery results every time.
