B35 Sewing Machine Swiss Design with Free Tote Bag | 23 Stitches, 7 Presser Feet, Automatic Buttonhole, Quilting, Heavy-Duty Build, LED Light, Portable

I don't usually bother reviewing things, but since I couldn't find many reviews on this sewing machine before I bought it I felt like I was taking a bit of a leap of faith! Thankfully I love my new machine. I have been sewing on my Mom's 1971 Bernina Bernette for years and it still runs like a champ, but there is a lot it can't do compared to newer machines. Ideally I would shell out the $1200 for a new Bernina model, but that is way out of my budget. This Bernette brand machine while not technically a Bernina, is quality controlled by Bernina. I love that it is an all mechanical machine meani

I purchased this machine about a year ago because I have heard good things about this brand and I wanted something simple and lightweight. This fit the bill and no issues so far. It is very easy to use and if I have questions, they are found in the instruction booklet. I am a crafter so I mainly use to sew on paper and a bit of fabric once in awhile.

I have used a heavy duty Riccar until it died at age 45. This one will handle most everything, I think. It is intuitive, sews well and evenly, easy to set up. Only issue is that it tends to vibrate or shudder at higher speed. May not do that now that I moved it to a solid desk from a table. I would buy it again.

While my goal sewing machine is a 'grownup' Bernina, this little entry level model is a gem! I've sewn most of my clothes since my Jr High years, and have sewn on a variety of different brand machines-Singers, Vikings, Janomes. My b35 sews evenly, and while not heavy duty-I don't think it would do well with layers & layers of Denim Jeans sewing-it's perfect for the everyday household & garment sewing that is the bread & butter of the Sewist's repertoire. I've only had it a couple of months, so time will be the true test, but I'm pleased with it so far. The buttonhole works fine, both the stand

So far, I love the Bernette 35. It is light weight but steady and serviceable. I plan to use it to make draperies and pillow covers and have made one pillow cover since it set it up yesterday. The setup took a little longer than I expected because you have to read the directions and look at the pictures carefully. I have been sewing for 60 years, and I think it is a my favorite machine. Haven't tried the different stitches yet, but straight sewing is easy stitches are a consistent size.

This machine seems to be cheaply made. The cord for foot control is too short. The foot control is plastic and very light. It is hard to keep it in position. I was not able to get the automatic needle threading to work.When I went to process the return, the instructions say I must pay for the return. It also says there will be a restocking fee if the item is opened!!!I cannot imagine why Amazon would permit this vendor to be on it's site. As a minimum the description should describe the company's return policy

I've had the Bernette for only a few days but so far I LOVE it. I'm replacing a Husqvarna Viking I paid $1200 for, which was a FORTUNE 40 yrs ago and it cannot be repaired. I called Viking..They said to junk it because parts were no longer available and they would not provide a repair manual for me to try to fix myself. (shame on Viking..it was supposed to last a lifetime so I would never buy a Viking again). I thought paying under $300 for the Bernette 35 is great! I wont feel so bad if/when it dies. Suggestion..buy a Bernette (not generic one) walking foot. It really makes this machine great

I bought this as a back-up to my large, expensive Janome sewing machine, which had to visit the repair shop. It has performed marvelously! I have been disappointed with machine after machine, specifically the Singer Quantum, the Singer Heavy Duty and a Brother (model?) and felt doomed having to buy yet another backup. But this one stands above all! The manual is detailed, informative and understandable, obviously written by a native English speaker...the machine is simplicity itself, and it just runs and runs!! I use it 6 hours per day on average, and have done it all...quilting, jeans repair,
