Main Features

Automatic Double Needle LimitationPresser Foot Pressure Adjustment
Automatic Thread Cutter and Tie-Off FunctionEight Presser Feet Included

Automatic Double Needle Limitation

When you change from a single to a double needle, the "double needle button" will help you adapt your needle to the presser foot so that neither needle will inadvertently hit the presser foot and break off. The "double needle safety" function limits the stitch width so that the needle doesn't hit the presser foot.

Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment

For some materials, such as lightweight or thin fabrics, it is advisable to adjust the presser foot pressure. Your bernette 38 offers this practical feature.

Automatic Thread Cutter and Tie-off Function

When you get to the end of a seam, the thread has to be tied off to prevent the seam unravelling. Normally, you would do this by making a quick backwards and forwards stitch. This is no longer necessary with the bernette 38, as it has an automatic tie-off function. Simply select the Tie-off button and the end of the seam will be tied off automatically. When you have finished your sewing project, press the button for the automatic thread cutter and you can pull your completed work out from under the needle without having to reach for the scissors.

Eight Presser Feet Included

With your bernette 38 you get eight presser feet and a stable presser foot shank. You can select the appropriate presser foot for whatever you want to sew. For example, you can choose the zigzag foot for zigzag stitches, the satin foot for your satin stitches and the buttonhole foot for your buttonholes. With the appropriate feet, you can accomplish your sewing projects quickly and with excellent stitch quality.

Perfect machine for my skill level

I am not a beginner sewer and I am not an expert quilter. I’ve had three less expensive machines than this before and they each lasted a couple years. I had to frequently take them apart to repair them myself. I did not want to spend $2000 or more on a machine. I did a lot of research about this machine. It was easy to assemble and easy to learn how to use the machine. It had many features on it that I had not had another machines. My favorite feature is automatic, cutting of the thread, which saves me a lot of time and thread! The machine is quiet, smooth, and I feel happy every time I sit down in front of it. I do recommend this machine for the beginner or above level sewing.

Perfect condition and awesome machine

The b38 is a great machine. The stitches are uniform and there are a lot of beautiful decorative options. My only dislikes are that the machine has a faint humming while on, (it mentions it as completely normal in the manual so I know it’s not a defect) but that is definitely not a deal breaker for me. Some of the fancy stitches need extra adjustments and stable fabric. I love the alphabet stitches in particular. It also has a second thread holder for winding the bobbin that also works for double needle sewing. The needle threading is a breeze and the settings are simple to navigate. This seller shipped in the product box only but the machine was delivered in perfect shape.

Review of Bernette 389 Swiss Design Computerized Sewing Machine

I love my new sewing machine. It works very well, and it was easy to figure out how to use it.

Great Machine

I purchased the b38 about a year and a half ago. I've used it a lot. It's the best sewing machine I've owned. It's twice the cost in Bernina stores, so Amazon is a good bargain. I did buy accessories for quilting. Don't hesitate if you are considering it. You won't regret it!

Very smooth running machine. Excellent uniform stitches!

Everything was great. Much better than a competitor machine that I had to return.
