Bernina Bernette Chicago 7 Sewing Machine with Computerized Embroidery The majority of machines manufactured under the Bernina brand are pricey. As a result, the business decided to establish a new brand called Bernette, which focuses on creating machines solely for the home user. The first model from this line was the Bernina Bernette Chicago 7. It features 12 built-in stitches, adjustable needle position, reverse stitching, and computerized embroidery. The Bernina Chicago 7 is designed for beginners who want to explore the world of sewing without investing in a commercial machine. It is affordable, easy to use, and has plenty of functions. This machine can be used for light to medium duty applications. Features: Computerized Embroidery - Use pre-programmed designs or upload your own images for seamless stitching. 12 Built-In Stitches - Includes straight stitch, zigzag stitch, buttonhole stitch, blanket stitch, slip stitch, stem stitch, chain stitch, picot edge stitch, satin stitch, and shirring stitch. Adjustable Needle Position - Change the height and angle of the needle with ease. Reverse Stitching - Start from back side of fabric when stitching forward (like human beings do). Useful when stitching through several layers of material like quilting.
