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 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 really happy with this sewing machine. I got it on a warehouse deal, open box. It appeared brand new.

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 juki exceed that i don't use as much as this one. They are almost alike when it comes to finished seams. The buttonholer on the juki is better.... that is why i sometimes use it rather than the burnette. The burnette can do double/triple thread seams finishes if you get the proper needle and thread it correctly, but the underside of the seam is not very attractive, but the same applies to the juki. I have a brother cover stitch machine to do that. Bottom line: i recommend this machine for those of us who want the quality finishes we use to get with the old mechanical/metal machines. A beginner could get something close without the features but easier to use and less money.

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 machines. After spending time trying to handle the problem myself, it is now too late to return to Amazon. Lesson learned: Do not buy sewing machines online - buy them from your local authorized dealership!! You might need support after purchase. If you are a sewist, build a relationship with your local sewing shop. One star because I still think Bernina is a good brand, but I do not recommend this product. I do not recommend Amazon for buying sewing machines.

All in all I am happy with this machine. I wanted a good machine and did not want or need 300 different stitches. I think the machine is user friendly; the manual is easy to follow for set-up which I was dreading and turned out to be easy. I sewed on denim with no issues, . Of all the choices I looked at and considered, I think I made a good decision buying this. The stitches are consistent and strong.

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's so light I can put it up on a shelf in my closet (unlike my old 37-pound behemoth that had to sit on the floor).

Had the sweetest delivery person, I got the box but it was heavily crushed all over , I’ll be returning this one for another

Compact, easy to use, does everything you need.

Très bonne machine ... Dommage prise et notice en anglais .... Aurait dû être spécifié lors de la commande !!!

Bought this lightweight Bernina to take to sewing group. It has all the basics and is suitable for small quilting projects too. I already have an 18 yr old Bernina Aurora, which is a totally reliable workhorse.

Bonjour, Le produit vient de Grande Bretagne et dispose d'un cordon d'alimentation avec une fiche secteur au format GB donc inutilisable en France sauf à disposer d'un convertisseur. Il aurait été honnête de faire apparaître cette information dans le descriptif du produit pour éviter la procédure de retour et l'immobilisation des sommes engagées.

great value for money. it was relatively easy to use at first but it’s hard to thread the needle with the instructions. great quality but relatively heavy. i’ve got some fabric get jammed which is bad in it but the instructions helped fix the issue. i’m a beginner and it’s been great for me to learn. thank you!
