## Overview

The Bernette 38 is a Swiss-designed computerized sewing machine featuring 394 stitch options, automatic thread cutting and tie-off, and a safety function for double-needle use. It includes eight presser feet, an extension table for large projects, adjustable presser foot pressure, and a bright LED light, making it ideal for professional-quality sewing and creative versatility.

## Description

The Bernette 38 is the top model in the Bernette 30 series. This computerized sewing machine offers a wide range of functions at an affordable price–leaving nothing to be desired. It offers 394 different stitches, including the stretch stitch for elastic fabrics. This means you can create fantastic T-shirts from jersey fabric, for example. The Bernette 38 also has eight different 1-step buttonholes and three alphabets. In addition, it has a memory function, via which you can store various combinations of patterns. The Bernette 38 has a useful speed regulator, which can be adjusted on the display. As the top model, this impressive sewing machine also has a bright LED sewing light, a threader, and both an automatic and a manual thread cutter. The Bernette 38 comes with eight different presser feet (soles) and a large extension table as standard.Automatic Limitation for Double NeedlesWhen you change from a single to a double-needle, the double needle button will help you adapt your needle to the presser foot so that neither needle will inadvertently hit the presser foot and break off. The double-needle safety function limits the stitch width so that the needle doesn't hit the presser foot.Automatic Thread Cutter and Tie-Off FunctionWhen you get to the end of a seam, the thread has to be tied off to prevent the seam unraveling. Normally, you would do this by making a quick backward and forward stitch. This is no longer necessary with the Bernette 38, as it has an automatic tie-off function. Simply select the tie-off button and the end of the seam will be tied off automatically. When you have finished your sewing project, press the button for the automatic thread cutter and you can pull your completed work out from under the needle without having to reach for the scissors.

## Features

- Automatic Limitation for Double Needles: When you change from a single to a double-needle, the double needle button will help you adapt your needle to the presser foot so that neither needle will inadvertently hit the presser foot and break off. The double-needle safety function limits the stitch width so that the needle doesn't hit the presser foot
- Adjusting the Presser Foot Pressure to Suit the Material: For some materials, such as lightweight or thin fabrics, it is advisable to adjust the presser foot pressure
- Automatic Thread Cutter and Tie-Off Function: When you get to the end of a seam, the thread has to be tied off to prevent the seam unraveling. Normally, you would do this by making a quick backwards and forwards stitch. This is no longer necessary with the Bernette 38, as it has an automatic tie-off function
- Extension Table for Large Sewing Projects Included: The extension table supplied with the Bernette 38 is easy to attach and detach, and gives you more space for large sewing projects such as clothes, quilts, or curtains
- Eight Presser Feet Included: With your Bernette 38, you get eight presser feet and a stable presser foot shank. You can select the appropriate presser foot for whatever you want to sew

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What presser feet does this machine come with?**
A: Zigzag Foot, Overlock Foot, Zipper Foot, Satin Stitch Foot, Blindstitch Foot, Button-Sew-On Foot, Open Toe Foot, Buttonhole Foot with Slide

**Q: Does it have automatic threading?**
A: Yes there is a pull for threading. However I’d like to say a needle threader instead of auto-threading because anyway you need your eyes and fingers.

**Q: I sew and sell lingerie, Will this machine be good for very thin and delicate fabric?**
A: This machine has great presser feet and feed dogs, so I think it will work very well with delicate fabrics. There is a foot available which advances the fabric from the top and bottom at the same rate, and the mat might be worth a try if you bump into something tricky.

**Q: Will this machine handle heavier fabrics (denim or upholstery)??**
A: With a needle specifically for heavy fabrics, yes.

    AWESOME sewing machine!!!!! High end features at an affordable price
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on 21 December 2017*

I have been comparing machines for weeks now because I knew it was time for a new one. I have been a lover of Singer Machines and have owned at least four over my 20 years of sewing. I was open to a new brand because my last machine seemed not to be as reliable as previous ones. Of course I would of loved to own a Bernina Machine but was not ready to commit to spending those big dollars yet. In my search I found out that there are two brands that extend from Bernina: Eversewn and Bernette. I did my comparisons with the models and this machine won out because it has an automatic thread cutter button (so awesome). I have only had this for a month but have been using it constantly (busy season). It has so many high end features, I didn't know my previous machine was dated until I got this one. Changing stitch style and length is really easy, the computerization of this machine is straight forward and easy to catch on regardless if you read the instruction manual or not. By the way the manual is clear and direct, I browsed it prior to handling the machine. Another thing I think is worth noting is that the machine also shows which is the correct foot to attach after you choose your stitch style. I have a collection of feet (about 50 bought on amazon) that I invested in for my previous machines that was also low shank, and I have used at least half of them and they fit perfectly, the others I haven't gotten to as yet. This machine also comes with an extension table that comes in handy for larger garments. The machine seems to handle delicate and heavy weight materials all the same and runs super smoothly. I realize compared to other more known brands this didn't have many reviews which made the decision harder for me thus the reason why I felt the need to write this review. This is a great machine, you get beyond value for money with all the bells and whistles attached. If any one is on the fence about this, just do it, get it, it's so worth it. As time passes If there are any changes in thoughts to the quality, functionality or longevity of this sewing machine I surely will make a note in an updated review, but as of now I HIGHLY ENDORSE the Bernette 38. I simply enjoy using it and esthetically its a beautiful addition to my sewing room.UPDATE:It has been over a year and a half since I have bought this machine with almost constant use. This was a great investment and she is still sewing perfect stitches. Using the 1-step buttonhole function is just foolproof. This machine also has two stretch stitch functions which both work great on very stretch fabrics. I do regular at-home maintenance with plans to take her to the shop for a service even though she shows no signs of needing one. I plan on starting a sewing school soon and will be sticking with these lines of machines. Top-quality all the way.UPDATE #2: It's been almost four years and no, I didn't take it for servicing (I really should). I do remove the plate and bobin case periodically to clean the dust and oil. I also change my needles roughly every 10 (garment) projects. I average about four projects a week on this machine and she consistently gives great stitches!!!! Do not hesitate,  this is worth every penny.

    Perfect machine for my skill level
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on 29 February 2024*

I am not a beginner sewer and I am not an expert quilter. I’ve had three less expensive machines than this before and they each lasted a couple years.  I had to frequently take them apart to repair them myself. I did not want to spend $2000 or more on a machine. I did a lot of research about this machine. It was easy to assemble and easy to learn how to use the machine. It had many features on it that I had not had another machines. My favorite feature is automatic, cutting of the thread, which saves me a lot of time and thread! The machine is quiet, smooth, and I feel happy every time I sit down in front of it. I do recommend this machine for the beginner or above level sewing.

    Perfect condition and awesome machine
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2024*

The b38 is a great machine. The stitches are uniform and there are a lot of beautiful decorative options. My only dislikes are that the machine has a faint humming while on, (it mentions it as completely normal in the manual so I know it’s not a defect) but that is definitely not a deal breaker for me. Some of the fancy stitches need extra adjustments and stable fabric. I love the alphabet stitches in particular. It also has a second thread holder for winding the bobbin that also works for double needle sewing. The needle threading is a breeze and the settings are simple to navigate. This seller shipped in the product box only but the machine was delivered in perfect shape.
