Key Specifications

Key Features

Revolutionary BERNINA 9 Hook

The BERNINA 710 introduced the world's first BERNINA 9 Hook, a patent-pending technology that combined the best features of the traditional CB hook and the rotary hook. This innovation allows for a maximum stitch width of 9 mm and a top sewing speed of 1,000 stitches per minute. The centrally placed driver ensures a smooth, quiet operation, and the larger bobbin holds 80% more thread, allowing for longer sewing without interruptions .

BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR)

The BERNINA 710 is BSR enabled. This optional accessory foot provides high-speed free-motion stitching assistance. Using an optical sensor, the BSR detects the movement of the fabric and regulates the needle movement to create even, consistent stitches regardless of sewing speed, making free-motion quilting easier for both beginners and experienced quilters .

Extensive Stitch Library

The machine comes with a total of 680 built-in stitch patterns, providing a wide range of creative options .

• 200 Decorative Stitches

• 29 Practical Stitches

• 23 Quilting Stitches

• 11 Buttonholes & 1 Eyelet Program

• 5 Alphabets/Monograms 

Extra-Long Freearm

The machine features a meticulously engineered extra-long freearm with 10 inches (254 mm) of space to the right of the needle. This provides ample room to maneuver large sewing and quilting projects with ease and comfort .

BERNINA Dual Feed

This integrated feature ensures even feeding of hard-to-manage fabrics, such as silk, velvet, and quilting layers. The Dual Feed system works from the top, feeding the fabric in perfect synchronization with the bottom feed dogs. It can be easily engaged when needed and tucked completely out of the way when not in use .

Total Stitch Control

The 710 provides an exclusive level of stitch control. Any alterations made to a stitch, such as length, width, or needle position, are automatically remembered by the machine. This saves time and ensures consistency when repeating a stitch pattern for a project .
