BERNINA 740 Sewing and Quilting Machine

Quiet and Precise Sewing with BERNINA Hook

• Ideally suited for decorative stitches
• Sew for longer periods of time
• More time for your creativity

With the launch of the 7 Series, BERNINA introduced a world first, the BERNINA Hook. This latest BERNINA innovation uniquely combines the advantages of the two best hook technologies and is patented. The heart of the BERNINA 7 Series features a novel, centrally placed driver, which allows the BERNINA Hook to run fast yet quietly. The BERNINA Hook sews high-precision stitches up to 9 mm in width with speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute. The bobbin holds up to 70% more thread than standard bobbins, allowing you to sew longer without interruption. Finally, the BERNINA Hook is made of high-quality materials that allow the thread to run smoothly at consistent tension.

Enough Space for Creativity

• Enough space for your creations
• Plenty of room for large projects
• Enjoy full comfort while sewing

The BERNINA 7 Series includes a meticulously engineered extended freearm with 10 inches (254mm) of working space to the right of the needle. Not only does the B 740 provide plenty of room for large sewing projects, it's also ideally suited for beautiful decorative stitching with its 9 mm stitch width. Small sewing jobs such as inserting zippers are completed flawlessly. As your ambitions grow, the B 740 can be further upgraded with a wealth of optional accessories. For instance, add the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR), which guarantees consistent stitches when free-motion sewing and quilting no matter how quickly you move the fabric

Automatic Features Save Time

• No manual cutting at the end of a seam
• Enjoy semi-automatic threading
• No manual lowering of the presser foot

The B 740 performs many tasks all by itself. The presser foot lowers automatically at the beginning of a seam. Threading is semi-automatic, and the thread is automatically cut when you reach the end of a seam. The standard package also features a practical extension table that makes working on all your sewing projects an absolute breeze.

Perfect Tension for Perfect Stitches

• Ideal tension for each stitch type
• Achieve finest stitching results
• A BERNINA innovation

The BERNINA Adaptive Thread Tension, a BERNINA innovation, provides ideal thread tension while sewing to achieve perfect stitch quality on both sides of the fabric. Once the tension is set according to the thread and fabric used, BERNINA Adaptive Thread Tension will constantly check the thread tension, adjusting it automatically if needed. The result is the finest stitching without pressing a button.
