The New 2025 BERNINA Lineup: What Sewists and Quilters Need to Know

The New 2025 BERNINA Lineup: What Sewists and Quilters Need to Know

If you’ve been sewing for a while, you know the truth: the right machine doesn’t just help you sew—it changes how much you enjoy the process.

That’s why BERNINA’s 2025 lineup is such a big deal. They’ve reimagined their most-loved models and introduced new accessories that make sewing, quilting, and embroidery faster, smoother, and a lot more creative.

From compact everyday machines to PRO-level embroidery powerhouses, plus a serger that can literally replace five different tools, there’s something in this release for every type of maker.

Let’s take a closer look.

 

1. BERNINA 3 Series: Small Machines, Big Upgrades

The BERNINA 3 Series has always been popular with sewists who need something portable but powerful. In 2025, it gets a serious refresh.

Here’s what’s new:

  • 4.3” Color Touchscreen – A big, bright screen that makes choosing stitches and settings simple. The Creative Consultant feature even suggests fabric-specific adjustments.
  • Foot Pressure Dial – Fine-tune presser foot pressure for delicate silks, heavy denim, and everything in between.
  • Interactive On-Screen Guides – Built-in helpers walk you through tricky techniques like buttonholes or stitch combinations.
  • One-Touch Secure Stitching – Start and end with a clean finish—no more manual knotting.
  • USB Connectivity – Keep your machine current with future updates and stitch files.

Meet the Models: B 325 & B 335

  • B 325 – Compact, sturdy, and fast (up to 900 stitches per minute). Great for beginners or anyone who wants pro results in a lightweight machine.
  • B 335 – Includes everything from the 325 but adds the Free-Hand System (FHS). This lets you lift the presser foot with your knee so both hands stay on your fabric—a game-changer for quilters.

👉 Bottom line: The new 3 Series is “big machine” performance in a carry-friendly size. Perfect if you sew in a small studio or travel to classes.

2. BERNINA PRO 7 Series: Advanced Power for Serious Makers

If the 3 Series is compact brilliance, the PRO 7 Series is pure innovation.

These models (770 QE Pro, 735 Pro, and 700 Pro) are built for sewists and quilters who want maximum precision—especially in embroidery.

Standout Features

  • 4-Point Design Placement – Mark four spots on your fabric, and the machine reshapes your embroidery to fit perfectly. Ideal for quilting blocks that aren’t square.
  • Custom Quilt Designs – Import longarm-style quilting motifs and stitch them out at home with total control over stitch density.
  • Advanced Text Tools – Add up to 10 lines of lettering, adjust spacing, and align text in just a few taps.
  • Smart Alignment – Balance and distribute designs across the hoop like a pro graphic designer.
  • Wireless Connectivity – Send designs from your computer straight to the machine. Check progress with a companion app.
  • Extra-Large Screen – A huge 7” display that feels more like a tablet than a sewing interface. Tutorials are built in for guidance on the spot.

Model Highlights

  • 770 QE Pro – Sewing, quilting, and embroidery in one powerhouse.
  • 735 Pro – A blend of precision sewing with robust embroidery options.
  • 700 Pro – A dedicated embroidery specialist built for big projects.

👉 Bottom line: The PRO 7 Series is for sewists who want control, accuracy, and advanced tools to turn complex projects into polished, professional results.

 

3. Magnetic Embroidery Hoops: Snap, Sew, Smile

Ask any embroiderer—the hardest part of embroidery isn’t stitching, it’s hooping. Traditional hoops can stretch fabric, leave marks, or take forever to line up.

BERNINA’s new Magnetic Hoops solve all of that.

  • No Screws, No Clamps – Just press and the magnets snap fabric into place.
  • Protects Fabrics – No hoop marks, even on delicate materials like velvet or leather.
  • Faster Re-Hooping – Shift your fabric and snap back into place in seconds.

Hoop Options

👉 Bottom line: If hooping slows you down, these magnetic options will change how you approach embroidery. Click here to check out our embroidery hoops collection

 

4. bernette 68 Maker: The Ultimate 5-in-1 Serger

If you’re more into garment sewing or knits, the bernette 68 Maker is your new best friend. This machine is a multitasker’s dream—it combines five different functions into one compact serger/coverstitch unit.

What It Replaces

  • Overlocker
  • Chainstitch machine
  • Coverstitch machine
  • Rolled hemmer
  • Combo safety stitch machine

Features That Stand Out

  • Air Threading System – Looper threading at the push of a button.
  • 31 Built-In Stitches – From basic overlocks to decorative finishes.
  • Free-Hand System – A knee lifter borrowed from BERNINA machines keeps your hands free.
  • Spacious Work Area – 130 mm to the right of the needle for larger projects.
  • Mini Vacuum Attachment – Built-in cleanup tool to keep lint under control.
  • High-Speed Power – Up to 1,300 stitches per minute with a strong, quiet motor.

👉 Bottom line: The 68 Maker gives you professional finishing in a single machine. If you sew a lot of garments or knits, this is a serious time-saver.


BERNINA’s 2025 releases are about one thing: making it easier for you to sew beautifully, no matter your skill level or project type.

  • Beginners will love the updated 3 Series for its friendly size and built-in guides.
  • Quilters and embroiderers can take on advanced designs with the PRO 7 Series and Magnetic Hoops.
  • Garment makers and knit lovers will appreciate the all-in-one power of the bernette 68 Maker.
