BERNINA 790 Ultra Sewing Embroidery and Quilting Machine

Go Big with Jumbo Stitch

Unlock incredible decorative potential with the B 790 ULTRA Jumbo Stitch function. This innovative system lets you resize any stitch from 25% up to 500% of its original size. Whether you are using intricate decorative stitches or styling elaborate monograms, you can scale them dramatically on the touch screen to create bold, eye-catching effects for home decor, garments, and statement quilts.

Automatic Stitch Plate Recognition

Keep your creative flow completely uninterrupted. The B 790 ULTRA features automatic Stitch Plate Recognition that instantly identifies the plate you insert. The machine includes three sensor-enabled stitch plates: the 9mm Standard Stitch Plate, the Straight Stitch Plate, and the BISR / 5.5mm Stitch Plate. This advanced security function automatically communicates with the machine to prevent needle-and-plate collisions.

Design and Sew Stitches in Any Direction

Elevate your fabric layouts with 360-degree multi-directional sewing. With the integrated Stitch Designer, you can draw, edit, and refine your own individual custom stitches directly on the color touchscreen. Paired with Sideways Motion technology, you can stitch your custom patterns in multiple directions, unlocking absolute design freedom for complex borders and artistic details.

Thread the Needle Automatically

Prepare for your creative sessions in a breeze. With the touch of a single button, the Automatic Needle Threader feeds the upper thread cleanly and quickly into your needle. This mechanical helper is designed to work with standard needles from size 70 and up, eliminating eye strain and letting you switch thread colors effortlessly.

Smart Guidance and Interactive Touchscreen

Navigate your settings effortlessly with the high-resolution 7-inch color display. Use intuitive swipe, drag, and drop gestures to arrange motifs, or connect a PC mouse to operate the display with mouse precision. The built-in Help Center provides immediate access to instructional tutorials, the user manual, and the Creative Consultant. You can also scan an on-screen QR code to access your guides on a tablet or smartphone via Wi-Fi.

Built-in Stitch Regulation (BISR)

Perfect free-motion quilting has never been more accessible. The machine features the advanced, built-in BISR (BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator) that monitors fabric movement. When using the included 5.5mm BISR Stitch Plate with Sensor and your favorite quilting foot, the system ensures every stitch is formed with the exact same length at variable sewing speeds. This stitch-regulated precision extends seamlessly to Ruler Work, giving you total professional control.

Customizable Quilt Designs and Morphing

Bring longarm precision to your domestic setup with Customizable Quilt Designs (.bqm files). Benefit from unlimited design scaling, modify stitches per inch (SPI) settings, and protect boundaries using advanced 3-Point and 4-Point placement. Simply define points on your fabric inside the hoop, and the design will morph proportionally to fit the exact boundary. Use the Crop function to trim designs along custom lines, and use the Connect tool to merge multiple motifs into one cohesive layout.

Embroidery Module L with Smart Drive Technology

The included Embroidery Module L utilizes Smart Drive Technology (SDT) paired with BERNINA stitchprecision2 Technology to deliver exceptional stitch quality and faster, smoother performance. Its spacious structure allows you to work comfortably on larger projects. In addition, the integrated freearm configuration makes embroidering circular and tubular projects—such as t-shirts, cuffs, and bags—completely tool-free.

High-Capacity Jumbo Bobbin and BERNINA Hook

Sew longer between bobbin changes. The front-loading, easy-access Jumbo Bobbin holds up to 70% more thread than traditional bobbins, giving you more uninterrupted time to design. Working in tandem with the highly robust BERNINA Hook, this system delivers perfect, quiet stitch quality at high sewing speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute.
