Creative Projects You Can Complete

The creative possibilities are endless with the incredibly versatile BERNINA 590 E. Design and assemble heavy-duty heirloom quilts using the expansive stitch selection, or use the precise 9 mm stitch width for custom decorative borders on garments. Easily embroider beautiful, high-density floral designs on tough materials like leather, canvas, and denim, or work with notoriously slippery luxury fabrics like silk and chiffon using the built-in Dual Feed system. Build customized home decor projects, monogrammed table linens, personalized bags, and garments with perfectly structured buttonholes that match your exact specifications.

Fully Automatic Time-Saving Features

• Enjoy stress-free sewing with automated needle threading and presser foot lift tools
• Threads are trimmed at the end of a seam automatically at the press of a single button
• Automatic presser foot adjustment responds instantly to the thickness of your fabric

The automated thread cutter functions beautifully by executing three distinct tasks in one quick motion: it cuts your top and bottom threads, lifts the needle out of the workspace, and raises the presser foot. No manual lifting, trimming, or resetting is required.

Stitch Perfection is Your New Standard

• Completely eliminates manual thread trimming on the top side of your embroidery work
• Invisible Secure locks the beginning and end of thread lines flawlessly
• Smart Secure automatically senses and programs necessary tie-on and tie-off stitches

Enjoy stunning, commercial-grade embroidery on your projects. Thanks to the integrated Thread Away Mode, the machine pulls thread tails down to the underside of your fabric, leaving the face of your design perfectly clean and clear of jump stitches.

Straightforward, Precision Pinpoint Placement

• Align, resize, and rotate complex embroidery designs exactly where you want them
• Saves time and stress by eliminating the need for temporary paper templates
• Perfect embroidery alignment results in a fraction of the time

With Pinpoint Placement, positioning your design is easier than ever. Select two custom points on the touch screen and align them directly with the corresponding physical markings on your hooped fabric to position your project with incredible accuracy.

Sew Quieter, Faster, and Longer

• Maintain ultimate stitch consistency at lightning-fast speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute
• Large Jumbo Bobbin carries 70 percent more thread than traditional sewing bobbins
• Conventiently access and change your frontloading bobbin with minimal disruption

The central BERNINA Hook system operates with extreme precision, maintaining uniform thread tension and keeping noise to an absolute minimum. The high-capacity Jumbo Bobbin lets you complete major quilting and embroidery runs without frequent thread resets.

Full Navigational Comfort on Screen

• Vibrant, easy-to-read color touch screen provides simple navigation
• Instantly switch to high-speed embroidery mode with a single click
• On-screen Creative Consultants are ready to answer your sewing questions anytime

The intuitive interface simplifies on-screen editing, sizing, and design manipulation. If you ever have a technical question or need fabric advice, simply open the on-screen Sewing and Embroidery Consultants for instant setup and project suggestions.

Master Slippery and Heavy Fabrics Alike

• Excellent fabric feed control prevents puckering or slippage on delicate silks
• Drives top and bottom layers at the exact same pace for matched seams
• Easily activates when needed and tucks out of the way when you are finished

The advanced BERNINA Dual Feed feeds fabrics evenly from both above and below. This structural synchronization ensures that difficult or multiple slippery layers of fabric feed smoothly, keeping your seams flat, your patterns matched, and your stitches clean.
