Bernina S-335 Sewing Machine Review
Bernina S-335 Sewing Machine – Small but Mighty!
If you’re looking for a compact yet powerful sewing machine, this one ticks all the boxes. Whether you’re a beginner, an experienced sewer or even a professional, it has all the features you need while still being small enough to store easily or take on the go.
Perfect Size for Any Space
One of the best things about the Bernina S-335 is its small footprint. It measures 370mm x 170mm x 310mm (14.5” x 6.5” x 12”), with 6.3 inches of working space to the right of the needle. It doesn’t take up much room on your sewing table and if you need to put it away, it fits easily in a closet, under a bed, or on a shelf. If you travel to sewing classes or retreats, it’s light enough to carry, making it a great portable option. Just remember to use the dust cover when storing it to keep lint and dirt away!
Bright & Well-Lit for Easy Sewing
One feature we really appreciate when using this machine is how well-lit this machine is. With 8 built-in LED lights, it’s easy to see what you’re working on, even in dim lighting. The bright white design also helps reflect the light, making your workspace clearer. No more eye strain when working on darker fabrics!
Loads of Stitch Options & Customisation
The Bernina S-335 has 625 stitch options, including 5 automatic one-step buttonholes, 2 alphabets, and 12 quilting stitches. Whether you’re into dressmaking, quilting, or crafting, you’ll find plenty of variety. The best part? You can adjust the stitch length and width to suit your project. The maximum width is 5.5mm, and the maximum length is 5mm, giving you total control over your stitching.
Speed & Control – The Best of Both Worlds
This machine is fast, sewing up to 900 stitches per minute. That means you can finish projects quickly, but if you’re working on delicate fabrics or just prefer a slower speed, you can adjust it easily. The foot pedal is touch-sensitive, and there’s also a speed slider on the front of the machine, so you can set the max speed to whatever feels comfortable.
The Bernina 335 is a fantastic all-rounder—compact, powerful, and packed with features. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been sewing for years, it has everything you need to create beautiful projects. I love how easy it is to use, and the combination of precision, speed control, and stitch variety makes it a great investment. If you’re looking for a high-quality sewing machine that doesn’t take up too much space but still delivers professional results, this is the one!

Do you sew a lot of projects that really need both of your hands on the fabric?
You should consider adding a knee lift so that you can use the Bernina S-335’s Free Hand System. A knee lift allows you to control the presser foot with the movement of your knee! This optional lever plugs right into the front of your sewing machine and hangs under your table. It’s not in the way to where you’ll be bumping it every time you move, but it’s still easily accessible when you need it!
