Bernina 335 Sewing Machine Review

Here at The Sewing Studio we love Bernina sewing machines!

They’re some of the highest quality sewing machines on the market, and the Bernina 335 Sewing Machine is no different. This computerised machine is small, but mighty. It’s a great machine for sewists of all levels, from beginners to advanced or even professionals. They have a lot of amazing features and are great assets in the sewing room.

As we already stated, this sewing machine is small but mighty. The whole machine measures 370mm X 170mm X 310mm (or in inches 14.5 X 6.5 X 12). You’ll have 6.3 inches of working space to the right of the needle, too.

This is perfect for anyone who needs a machine with a small footprint. It’s small enough to not take up too much space if left out on your sewing table, but also a nice size to easily store when you’re not using it. It can easily fit in a closet, under the bed, or anywhere else in your space you can squeeze it. Just make sure to use the dust cover when you’re not sewing to keep any dust, dirt, and lint at bay! It's also small enough to travel well. Weighing in at 8kg, it’s not too heavy to carry to and from classes and retreats if that’s your scene.

One feature we love about Bernina machines is how well-lit they are! The Bernina 335 machine boasts 8 LED lights. These lights let you see what you’re working on so that you’re not straining your eyes. This machine is also a bright white making it so that your workspace is really illuminated in the LED lights.

The Bernina 335 Sewing Machine has plenty of options for you to work with. With 221 stitches, 3 of them being automatic 1-step buttonholes, 2 alphabets, and 12 quilting stitches, every kind of sewist will appreciate what this machine has to offer. Beginners will be able to grow into it using the different features and advanced sewers will love being able to use all of their favourite features with this sewing machine.

It should also be noted that every stitch is able to be adjusted in length and width, depending on whatever you need for your projects. Stitches can be made to be a maximum 5.5mm width and a maximum length of 5mm. Dressmakers and bag sewing enthusiasts will appreciate being able to adjust whatever stitches they need in order to get the perfect results in their latest projects.

If you’re wondering about the speed of this machine, you’re in for a treat! This machine can sew up to 900 stitches per minute. It’s a real workhorse! You’ll be able to finish projects in no time! Not yet as comfortable going that fast, or maybe you need to slow the speed down for delicate work? That’s not a problem! Not only is the foot pedal touch-sensitive, but you’ll also find a speed slider on the front of the machine so that you can make sure that the maximum speed is as slow as you need it to be.

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 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!
