Bernette 05 Crafter Sewing Machine Review
Are you looking for a great beginner sewing machine?
Or a machine that works for a vast array of different projects and skill levels? The Bernette 05 Crafter Sewing Machine should be on your list of budget-friendly options! This mechanical sewing machine is sturdy for beginners, but hosts a decent number of features and stitches that even the most advanced sewers will appreciate having on basic sewing machine.
The Bernette 05 Crafter sewing machine has 30 different stitches. All of these stitches are utility and meant for a plethora of different projects, including garments of all types (including stretchy knits!) and will make your sewing experience much more dynamic. It even comes with an automatic 1-step buttonhole!
You’ll love that it has a built-in needle threader, making set up a breeze! You won’t have to spend too much time threading the machine and can get right to sewing. It has a top-loading bobbin which makes threading the bobbin much easier since you can see everything, including the inner moving parts, to be able to thread it and clean the machine after each project. Dust and lint are your machine’s worst enemies, so being able to clean it out will help to keep your machine running in tip-top shape for years to come!
Quilters will love that the feed dogs are retractable. You’ll be able to free motion quilt and darn to your heart’s desire with this feature! And if you’re looking forward to this feature, you’ll want to add a darning foot to your order when you purchase the Bernette 05 Crafter.
The workspace is wonderful on this machine. It’s not too big or too small or too dimly lit. You’ll find two bright LED lights on this sewing machine, so you can easily see what you’re working on. You’ll have 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle. That means you’ll be able to sew small to medium sized projects with ease!
