Machine Manual

The BERNINA 480 is a brilliantly simple, yet highly sophisticated sewing machine designed for power, speed, perfection, and ease. This machine offers an expansive 9 mm stitch width for decorative stitches and houses a jumbo bobbin that minimizes interruptions during sewing. The device boasts an automatic thread cutter for convenient thread trimming and needle lifting at the push of a button, leaving you more time for creativity. The BERNINA 480 also allows easy thread tension adjustments to ensure optimal stitch quality on any fabric. Moreover, the machine’s easy threading feature saves precious time.

The BERNINA 480 is designed to handle a wide range of materials with its Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure feature, which allows for individual adjustment of pressure based on the thickness of the fabric. The machine offers ample space for large projects with its extended freearm that provides 7 inches to the right of the needle, and a slide-on extension table for added convenience. The modern color touch screen supports simple navigation and provides on-screen assistance via the Sewing Consultant, enabling quick adjustments with multi-function knobs. Furthermore, the BERNINA Free Hand System enhances productivity by enabling hands-free sewing. This system allows users to raise or lower the presser foot with the knee lifter while guiding the fabric. With the BERNINA Hook system maintaining consistent and precise stitches at a maximum speed of 900 stitches per minute, sewing enthusiasts can expect perfect results every time.
