BERNINA 570 QE
The BERNINA B570 Quilter’s Edition (QE) is crafted specifically with quilters in mind, combining innovative features and exceptional Swiss engineering to ensure perfect, high-quality results. This machine brings both power and precision, making it a versatile companion for quilting, sewing, and embroidery projects.
Extended Freearm for Large Projects
The B570 QE features an extended freearm offering 8.5 inches of space to the right of the needle, which provides ample room for handling large quilting projects like king-size quilts, multiple-layer patchwork, and embroidery designs. This spacious work area ensures quilters can work comfortably with large pieces of fabric.
BERNINA Dual Feed System
The BERNINA Dual Feed System guarantees even fabric feeding from both the top and bottom, crucial when working with multiple layers or slippery fabrics. It ensures the fabric doesn’t shift or pucker, making it perfect for quilting, sewing velvet, silk, or stretchy fabrics. The Dual Feed can be engaged or tucked away easily when not needed.
BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR)
The BERNINA Stitch Regulator (optional accessory) is a revolutionary tool for free-motion quilting. This feature ensures uniform stitch lengths even at varying sewing speeds, allowing for smooth and consistent quilting. The BSR functionality is built into the machine, and when paired with the BSR foot, it offers precision for both beginner and experienced quilters.
Patchwork Foot #97D
The Patchwork Foot #97D is included and is perfect for achieving precise ¼-inch seam allowances. Designed for straight-stitching and accurate piecing of patchwork blocks, it helps ensure flawless feeding and stitch accuracy during quilting projects. This foot, in combination with the Dual Feed, is an essential tool for quilting precision.
Automatic Features for Efficiency
The B570 QE is designed to make quilting faster and more efficient with several automatic features:
- Automatic Thread Cutter: The machine cuts both the top and bobbin threads at the touch of a button, speeding up your workflow.
- Semi-Automatic Needle Threader: Threading needles is quick and easy with the semi-automatic threader, allowing for rapid changes between different thread colors or needle sizes.
- Automatic Presser Foot Lift: The presser foot lowers automatically at the start of a seam and raises when the stitching is complete, allowing for smooth transitions during sewing.
Large Color Touchscreen
The machine is equipped with a 4.3" color touchscreen, which offers intuitive navigation with large, clear icons. The screen allows you to adjust stitch settings, access tutorials, and make real-time adjustments to the needle position, stitch width, and length.
Hover Function for Precision
The hover function on the B570 QE allows the presser foot to lift slightly while the needle remains in the fabric, making it easy to rotate or adjust the fabric when performing intricate tasks like appliqué or sharp turns during quilting. This feature enhances precision and control.
BERNINA Adaptive Thread Tension
The Adaptive Thread Tension system automatically adjusts the tension to the selected stitch type, width, and length, ensuring ideal tension for every fabric and sewing speed. This feature ensures perfect stitching on all types of fabrics and minimizes the need for manual adjustments.
High-Performance Sewing with Stitch Variety
The B570 QE offers high-speed sewing with up to 1,000 stitches per minute. Its extensive stitch library includes over 450 different stitches, such as quilting stitches, decorative patterns, alphabets, and buttonholes. The 9 mm stitch width allows for wide decorative stitches, perfect for embellishments.
Embroidery-Ready Capabilities
With an optional embroidery module, the B570 QE is embroidery-ready. This allows you to easily transform your quilting projects by adding beautiful embroidery patterns, monograms, and detailed embellishments, making it a versatile machine for any quilter looking to expand into embroidery.
Quiet and Smooth Operation
The BERNINA Hook System ensures smooth, quiet, and precise stitching, even at high speeds. Despite its power, the machine operates with minimal noise, making it perfect for long sewing sessions. The jumbo bobbin holds 70% more thread than standard bobbins, allowing for longer uninterrupted sewing sessions.
Portable and Versatile
The B570 QE is powerful yet portable, making it perfect for quilters who enjoy attending quilting classes, retreats, or gatherings. Its balance of power, functionality, and size makes it ideal for quilters looking for a machine that can handle both large, intricate projects and frequent transport.
