bernette b37 Product Review
The bernette b37 keeps everyday sewing simple, with a clear LCD display showing the selected stitch, width and length and settings you can change as you sew.
Setup stays straightforward thanks to the built-in needle threader and drop-in bobbin, which lets you check the thread level through a clear cover. The start/stop button means you can sew without the foot pedal, useful for longer seams or standing to work and the speed slider limits the pace for detailed sewing or younger hands.
The motor reaches up to 700 stitches per minute and the 2-step presser foot lift creates extra clearance for thicker layers, which helps when quilting or working through bulky seams. There are 50 built-in stitches, including utility, stretch, decorative, quilting, and five one-step buttonhole and eyelet styles, with buttonholes sized automatically to your button.
Needle stop up/down holds the needle in the fabric for pivoting neat corners, and the 7mm maximum stitch width gives bolder decorative work than a standard 5mm machine. A retractable feed dog supports free-motion sewing, and the bright LED keeps your work area well lit.
This is an approachable entry-level machine that gives new sewers room to grow from repairs into dressmaking and quilting.

Can sew but not ideal for

- Decorative stitching - the 7mm stitch width gives more scope than most beginner machines, but the stitch library is limited compared to higher-end models
Not suitable for

Frequently Asked Questions About the bernette b37
Let us help with the answers.
Is the bernette b37 suitable for beginners?
Yes. The clear LCD display, adjustable speed slider and built-in needle threader make it approachable for new sewers, while the 50 stitches and decorative options give room to grow as your skills develop.
Can I sew without the foot pedal?
Yes. The start/stop button runs the machine hands-free, and the speed slider sets your maximum pace. This suits longer seams, detailed work or sewing while standing at the table.
Can the bernette b37 handle thicker fabrics?
The 2-step presser foot lift raises the foot in two stages, so you can position several fabric layers underneath for hems, seams and binding. For frequent heavy canvas or leather, we recommend a heavier-duty model.
How many stitches does the b37 have?
The b37 has 50 built-in stitches, made up of utility, stretch, darning, decorative and quilting options, with five of these being one-step buttonhole and eyelet styles. Stitch length and width adjust to suit your project.
Can I quilt with the bernette b37?
Yes. The retractable feed dog supports free-motion quilting, the 170mm workspace gives room to the right of the needle, and quilting stitches are built in. Optional quilting feet and an extension table are available separately.
What warranty comes with this machine?
The bernette b37 includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
Does the b37 have a needle threader?
Yes. The built-in needle threader positions the thread through the needle eye for you, so you can start sewing quickly without squinting to thread by hand.
