Bernette sew&go 8 Computerized Sewing Machine | 197 Stitches & Built-in Alphabets | LCD Screen | 70W Motor | Metal Frame | Auto Needle Threader | Accessory Kit | By BERNINA Switzerland | Multicolor

An excellent entry-level computerised sewing machine for the beginners...it has a learning curve; but it's extremely user friendly and anyone can learn using it in a jiffy. It is probably one of the most affordable computerised machines in the market and offers a great value for money.The only thing I was skeptical about was the customer support, considering some competing brands offer sales and service in my city, while the nearest service centre for this brand is 100km away. But the glowing reviews here gave some reassurance. Nevertheless I contacted the company and bombarded them with lengthy mails wrt to the service centres and what I am supposed to do if something goes wrong. I received prompt replies for every single mail with detailed information, which gave me some reassurance that I won't be left without service and support.After I received the machine, installation and setup was a breeze. I am a beginner and I didn't know the basics of sewing. As a result, when I couldn't get some patterns right, I panicked and contacted their customer care. They explained things over a video call and taught me how I should use those modes and where things went wrong. In fact they offered to give me a training session, though I could not opt for it due to the language barrier. SO, I have had a good experience overall.To summarise,- It's a good machine- it works well and it's easy to use (always refer the manual before trying anything new - look for the right presser foot for the application and the settings for that)- it's packed with features that are not available on any other machine in this price range- It's a good value for money- The company replies to your queries fast and is sincere with resolving your issuesI would recommend it now. But take it with a grain of salt: I am a beginner and I have never touched any other sewing machine in my life before. I have started using it only now, though I have learnt a lot with it in a short time. I need to use it for a year or two and see if I'll be of the same opinion in the long run. Cheers!

This machine is toy ,, don't buy it, if interested in sticking then purchase juke or jake and if interested in embroidery then purchase proper embroidery machine,This machine has neither good stitching nor good embroidery, it is just for play

I bought this sewing machine after a lot of research. This is the most competitively priced among the fully automatic machines and has the maximum stitch width (10mm). It starts stitching at the press of a button. A foot pedal is given but it’s up to you to use it or not. It saves a lot of time because the threads don't come out of the needle if you cut them a little too close. It has a semi-automatic needle threader (not covered in warranty) that needs a bit of getting used to. You can control the speed. And there's a small blade that you can use to cut the threads. It's quite sturdy, I've been using it every day the last couple of months and so far it's been very good to me. The tool box is placed in such a way that you don't have to remove it every time you want to change the bobbin. Don't think you have 197 decorative stitches. After letters, numbers, button hole stitches etc., you only have a few dozens of real decorative stitches but they are really pretty.Now, on to the not-so-great things:I wish it had an automatic thread cutter. It would have made the sewing machine complete for me.Like many others pointed out, it does shock you (very mildly) if you touch the metal plate (the plug has only 2 pins).When it comes to thick fabrics, it's ok, not great. Same with leather (but no home sewing machine is great with leather).Tip:Make sure you thread the bobbin thread tight. If the tension isn't enough the stitches won't come out properly.The needle threader needs some practice - try to keep it at the same level as the eye of the needle.

Ultra smooth working. Neat stitches. Extra neat and clear patterns and letters. Simultaneous use of foot pedal and on/off swich gives extra ease for works. Simple and easily readable interface. Really fell in love with this model and started enjoying the easiness.But the piece which I got and the seller's reply and explanations on an issue forced me to return it. My daughter felt a mild electric shock while touching the metal parts. I checked it, confirmed with a line tester and contacted the seller. They simply told that it is the presence of static electricity. He also said that there may be fault with my house wiring. Remember, the machine carries a two pin electrical connection. As an electonics engineer I couldn't swollow it.

The machine looks good but there were no accesories in the box like charger, bobbins etc. I raised a return request order USHA Janoma stitch magic which was delivered and is great. Has been a week and still waiting for Amazon to pickup this machine. My money is not stuck for the mistake done by either seller or Amazon delivery. Pathetic experience....

I gifted this machine to my wife on her birthday. She is in love with it .Pros1. Weightless and protable.2. Easily understandable Manual.3. Quality of stich is really good .4. The service is good, the distributor is very amicable.5. The foot and accessories are way better compared to other sewing machine accessories.6. The trainer associated with this product articulates the usage in a polite and easy way, she is pretty much accessible most of the time.Cons.1. Additional 2k needs to be spent on inverter to avoid damage to the machine in case of power failure .2. It would have been nice if there were more colour options .Overall satisfied with this purchase
