Bernina 475QE

The Bernina 475 QE (Quilter’s Edition) is a compact yet powerful sewing and quilting machine designed for makers who want precision, speed, and effortless control. Built with Bernina’s signature Swiss engineering, it delivers beautifully consistent stitches across everything from detailed piecing to free-motion quilting.

Often described as the “quilter’s best friend,” the 475 QE combines advanced functionality with an intuitive user experience. A vibrant color touchscreen, automatic thread cutting, and hands-free sewing features allow you to focus on creativity rather than setup. Despite its compact size, it offers a generous workspace and professional-grade performance, making it ideal for both dedicated quilters and versatile sewists.

With features like the Bernina Hook system, jumbo bobbin, and included patchwork foot, the 475 QE is engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and long sewing sessions without interruption—perfect for projects that demand both detail and durability.
