Bernette B33 Swiss-Designed Mechanical Sewing Machine | 15 Stitches, Semi‑Automatic Needle Threader, 5 mm Stitch Width, 2‑Step Presser Foot Lift, Manual Thread Cutter

I love this machine, It is still a very simple, straight forward machine without a lot of perks, which is just what I needed and wanted, It really is just the step up from my other little Singer machine, I call this one my Cadillac machine, It is exactly like my Singer only better, better quality machine, goes a bit faster , better stitches, and just a dream to "drive" hahahah Think you will love it if you are just looking for a very simple straight stitch machine with a few extra fancy stitches, and the price is a very good price,

I really like my new sewing machine! I'd had an ancient Elgin cast aluminum machine from the 60s before this (which was still running like a champ--it was just too heavy for me and I couldn't find replacement parts anymore). This is a great budget machine, and I inaugurated it with piecing a quilt, and it did a great job. It's maybe a little louder than some other models, but that's fine for me. I also really appreciate that this machine doesn't have anything computerized in it--I don't need all that, and the computerized machines seem to break all the time and cost a fortune to repair. And it

Nice machine. Great tension which is always tricky with a cheap machine. Not loud and plenty of doohickeys for many applications. Bobbin is a bit whacky. Not easy to snap in and I need to hold a long thread sticking out when starting because of said bobbin. But it suits me fine. Can't beat the price. I used to have a 1030 Bernina when I did a lot of sewing, but gave it to my daughter now that I only do household sewing. It's not a 1030, but i like how light it is and I know how well Bernina's are made.

What can I write that just parrots what has already been said. This is a "foundation" sewing machine. It is not full of fancy embroidery/computer stitches. It has all that you will need save a serger, if you want that. The machine is a bit noisy but it has all the features that I grew up with and a bit more. I was looking for a mechanical machine to replace my old kenmore. I am used to manually altering the tension both to the feed dogs and the bobbin thread, so the seam actually joins in between the layers of material. I can do that on the bernette but not with a juki exceed.I have a fancy ju

This machine sews off center and there is no way to calibrate the needle. Might be okay for a new sewist, but it is insufferable for a quilter who needs accurate 1/4 inch seams. Could be ok if the seams were scant 1/4 inch, but needle is to the left of center which makes fat seams. It's scary because the needle looks like it will hit the presser foot, but somehow it barely misses. Neither Amazon nor the seller are authorized Bernina dealers -- so you can't even register the machine warranty. Your local Bernina dealership (Bernette is a Bernina product line) won't help you with Amazon purchased

I debated whether to go for the Janome but happy I got this. I own Bernina Sewing machines (930 and computerized Patchwork edition). I wanted something very simple and easy, the other machines I have, especially the 930, heavy to pull out and set up. But this one does have a nice hefty feel to it, not cheaply made at all. Motor runs smooth. The stitch selection is perfect for just about anything, repairs or otherwise. I'll never use the buttonhole feature. I depend on my other Bernina for that, more sophisticated and easier. But if you need/want the buttonhole feature, you're covered. I'm real

Didnt know this was a such a big difference compared to a basic sewing machine. Its like a Mercedes compared to a Kia.

I have trouble with the bobbins. Does not wind evenly and keeps breaking my top thread. While sewing it stops and knots the bobbin thread. I do a lot of top sewing so I have had to unpick which is really irritating. Have tried different tention settings but still does the same thing..but when it sews its awesome..I have found that I have to go really slow speed
