Bernina 5 Series Module

The BERNINA 5 Series Embroidery Module Upgrade is an optional embroidery unit designed to convert compatible BERNINA 5 Series sewing machines into full-featured embroidery systems. It expands your machine’s creative capabilities, allowing you to stitch detailed embroidery designs with precision, speed, and professional-quality results.

This upgrade is ideal for users who already own a BERNINA 5 Series machine and want to unlock embroidery functionality without replacing their existing setup.

Key Features

Turns Your Machine into an Embroidery System

The module attaches to compatible BERNINA 5 Series machines (such as B 500, B 535, B 570 QE, and B 590), enabling full embroidery functionality on a machine originally designed for sewing and quilting.

• Smoother and quieter movement
• Reduced vibration
• Up to 55% faster embroidery speed
• More consistent stitch quality

Free-Arm Embroidery Capability

Allows embroidery on closed or tubular items such as sleeves, pant legs, and bags, expanding what you can create beyond flat fabrics.

High-Speed Precision Embroidery

Supports speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute, enabling efficient production while maintaining accurate stitch formation.

On-Screen Design Control (via machine)

When paired with compatible 5 Series machines, you can:
