Bernette B33 Sewing Machine Review

Bernette sewing machines are trusty little machines!

They come in all sorts of levels of expertise, price ranges, and tend to have some great features! If you’re looking for a nice little mechanical machine with great utility stitches, then you’re going to want to take a closer look at the Bernette B33 Sewing Machine.

This particular sewing machine is a budget-friendly mechanical machine. That means that there is no computerisation and that you’ll select your stitches using dials on the front of the machine. This is perfect for anyone looking for a low-tech machine that’s easy to use or who need to stick to a very strict budget.

The Bernette B33 features 15 stitches, including 1 buttonhole. All of these stitches are utility stitches that are perfect and useful for any project. You’ll be able to create clothes and quilts with this machine very easily, including anything made of jersey knit since you’ll have access to stretch-friendly stitches.

One of our favourite features of this particular machine is the 2-step presser foot lift. It is exactly as it sounds. You’ll be able to lift the presser foot extra high with this feature so that you can fit fabrics of any thickness through this machine. You’ll be able to work on thick quilts, high pile terry cloth, and more. And that’s not something many machines in this price range can boast about.

If you’re someone who prefers a front-loading bobbin, you’ll be very happy to know that this machine has just that. It’s easy to load as it opens up fully so that you’ll be able to see everything from the front. It’s tucked out of the way behind the storage space and easily accessed.

The B33 also has plenty of space throughout the machine. You’ll have a decent-sized storage area in the flatbed that simply folds out for very easy access, and it holds everything that comes with the machine! And you’ll have a good amount of working space, too! It has 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, which is a good amount for anyone working on small to medium-sized quilts.

If you’re looking to boost your sewing experience with the Bernette B33 sewing machine, we’ve picked out a couple of different accessories that you’ll really appreciate having on hand.

Everyone should have access to a walking foot. A walking foot is one of the most useful accessories for any sewing machine. It has a set of feed dogs on the presser foot itself and they move with the timing of the sewing machine so that they move in tandem with the machine’s own feed dogs. This allows for an even feed when you’re sewing layers of fabric. It’s also ideal for thicker fabrics such as canvas or denim so that it doesn’t put stress on the machine itself as it feeds the fabric through.

We also carry a Bernette accessory kit that really adds a lot of options to your sewing machine. While it can’t add new stitches, it really adds some ability to use work easily with more fabrics and give you better control over the stitches you have access to. Quilters will love the patchwork foot that will help them maintain a 1/4inch seam as well as the embroidery feet that will aid in free motion quilting!
