BERNINA 335 Product Review & Demonstration
The BERNINA 335 is a small but mighty sewing and quilting machine designed for sewers who want BERNINA stitch quality and precision engineering in a compact size. It sits at the accessible end of the BERNINA range, which means it suits confident beginners ready to invest in their first BERNINA as well as intermediate sewers who need a dependable second machine for classes, retreats or smaller home setups.
With 625 stitch patterns built in there is a huge variety of utility, decorative, and quilting stitches to suit any project, plus stitch fonts for personalising garments, gifts and home projects. The maximum stitch width of 5.5mm is great for precise stitching, delicate details and intricate designs. Five styles of one-step buttonhole are included for you to create neat, uniform buttonholes with minimal effort.
The workspace measures 6.3 inches to the right of the needle, which gives space to manoeuvre larger projects through the machine, and a slide-on extension table is supplied as standard for when you need additional support around the needle area. The CB hook system uses a front-loading bobbin, the same system used across the wider BERNINA range. A semi-automatic needle threader and manual thread cutters round out the core convenience features, which means setup and finishing are kept simple between projects.
The 335 features a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen with direct selection buttons and convenient stitch adjustment so you can change stitch width and length from the screen without working through deep menus. A built-in Sewing Consultant guides you through stitch and setting selection by fabric and project type, which is particularly useful for sewers new to the BERNINA system. Start/stop button, slide speed control, needle stop up/down, nine needle positions and bobbin winding while sewing are all included, which means the 335 is ready for everyday sewing, free-motion quilting (drop feed) and decorative work from the moment it's set up.
The BERNINA 335 is built for stability and precision, ensuring smooth, even stitches at high speeds. It is a fantastic investment for sewers who want a high-quality, feature-packed machine that doesn't take up too much space. Whether you're a beginner looking for a user-friendly machine or an experienced sewer wanting precision and flexibility, this model has you covered.

Materials and Build Quality
The BERNINA 335 uses the same patented CB hook system found across the wider BERNINA range - a metal, front-loading system engineered for quiet, powerful and precise stitching. The hook design reduces vibration and noise so you can sew at full speed without compromising on stitch placement. The front-loading bobbin means fewer stops. The all-metal construction is designed to maintain consistent stitch formation over years of regular use.
At 8kg with external dimensions of 370 × 170 × 310 mm, the 335 is built to a portable specification without compromising on the precision engineering BERNINA is known for. The motor supports speeds of up to 900 stitches per minute. This makes the 335 a sensible option for sewers attending classes, retreats or working in a small home studio.
The 6.3-inch freearm workspace gives ample room alongside the BERNINA slide-on extension table to extend the working surface. Eight LED sewing lights illuminate the needle area so that you can clearly see your stitches, even on dark fabrics or in dim lighting.
The Difference is in the Details
The 335 is packed with practical features designed to make sewing faster, smoother and more efficient. Enjoy a maximum sewing speed of 900 stitches per minute. The speed control slider is great for beginners building confidence and experienced sewers doing detailed topstitching or precision work. You can wind the bobbin while sewing too.
The start/stop button, slide speed control and needle stop up/down are within easy reach. The manual thread cutters are positioned for quick access when needed. A knee lift (sold as an optional accessory) lets you raise the presser foot hands-free, which is incredibly useful for pivoting corners, quilting or handling delicate fabrics.
The BERNINA 335 is backed by a 7-year UK parts and labour warranty, which reflects the build standard BERNINA applies across its range. The hook system is engineered to handle dense materials like denim and garment leather without losing stitch integrity. The Sewing Studio is an authorised BERNINA service centre for when your machine requires servicing.
The built-in Creative Consultant recommends stitches, settings and presser feet for specific tasks directly on the touchscreen. Perfect for beginners who need guidance, while experienced sewers will love the added control and precision. The Sewing Studio team is here for honest, knowledgeable advice before and after purchase. As an authorised BERNINA retailer and certified service centre, we handle warranty repairs and annual servicing in-house.
You'll find a detailed tutorial on how to use the BERNINA 335 on our YouTube channel, where we walk you through key features, what's in the box and demonstrate sewing capability on a range of fabrics.
The LCD display with direct selection buttons gives you quick access to commonly used stitches without working through deep menus. Convenient stitch adjustment means you can change width, length and other settings on the screen as you sew, and nine needle positions give you fine control over stitch placement, so the machine adapts to detailed work like topstitching, zip insertion and edge stitching without needing to reposition fabric.
BERNINA 335: A Machine for Every Maker
And every project
Dressmakers & Garment Sewers
Garment makers love the precision and control the BERNINA 335 offers. Adjustable presser foot pressure helps when switching between fabrics like jersey, linen and denim, while the accurate stitch quality and smooth feeding are ideal for neat seams, topstitching and buttonholes. The five one-step buttonhole styles handle everything from shirt fronts to coats. Nine needle positions and a 5.5mm maximum stitch width give the control needed for topstitching, edge stitching and decorative finishing on dresses, skirts and trousers.
Quilting
The 335 is ideal for quilters who want premium stitch quality and precision in a compact machine. The consistent feeding helps achieve accurate seam allowances for piecing quilt blocks, while the spacious area to the right of the needle offers more room than many compact models for managing smaller quilts and quilted projects. For free motion work and stippling, simply drop the feed dogs. The included Open Embroidery Foot #20 is especially popular with decorative sewists, quilters doing appliqué work and garment makers adding personalised details or embellishment.
Creative Sewers & Small-Space Makers
Sewers working in smaller studios, spare rooms or shared spaces on decorative work, personalisation and craft projects need a compact but capable machine. The 335 offers two built-in stitch fonts and a wide library of decorative stitches. Mirror stitch and stitch memory functions support pattern combining and repeated motifs, which suits sewers making gifts, home décor, bags and personalised items.
Inside the BERNINA 335
BERNINA Hook System
The same front-loading CB hook system used across the wider BERNINA range, engineered to deliver consistent stitch formation on fabrics from lightweight cottons through to heavyweight materials.
Colour Touchscreen with Direct Selection
A 4.3-inch colour touchscreen paired with direct selection buttons brings the most-used stitches to a single press, with on-screen adjustment for stitch width, length and other settings as you sew.
Nine Needle Positions and 5.5mm Stitch Width
Nine needle positions paired with a 5.5mm maximum stitch width give precise control for topstitching, edge stitching, zip insertion and detailed decorative work across garment and quilt projects.
Drop Feed Dogs for Free-Motion
The feed dogs drop on demand, freeing the needle for free-motion quilting, darning and machine embroidery so you control fabric movement directly by hand without the feed system engaged.
Stitch Memory and Mirror Function
Short-term and long-term stitch memory stores altered and combined stitches, while the mirror stitch function flips patterns horizontally for matched decorative work and creative pattern building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let us help with the answers.
Is the BERNINA 335 suitable for a beginner?
Yes, with one consideration. The 335 is built to BERNINA's standards, which means the controls are responsive and the stitch quality is high, so it rewards a sewer who's committed to learning. The built-in Sewing Consultant guides you through stitch and setting selection by fabric, which makes the machine accessible to confident beginners. If you're brand new to sewing entirely, our team can walk you through whether the 335 is right for you or whether a simpler starter model is the better first step.
Can the BERNINA 335 handle thick fabrics like denim and garment leather?
The 335 is designed to sew through denim and garment leather despite its compact size. The CB hook system and BERNINA build standards mean the machine maintains stitch quality on heavier materials. For best results on the thickest seams, use the correct needle for your fabric and the height compensating tool supplied with the machine.
What's the difference between the BERNINA 335 and larger BERNINA models?
The 335 uses the same CB hook system as the rest of the BERNINA range, so the core stitch quality is consistent. Where larger BERNINA machines step up is in workspace size, stitch count, additional automation like an automatic thread cutter, and signature features like the BERNINA Stitch Regulator on quilting-focused models. The 335 covers the essentials of BERNINA sewing in a compact 8kg body, which is its core appeal.
Does the 335 come with everything I need to start sewing?
Yes. The 335 ships with seven presser feet covering general sewing, buttonholes, zips, blindstitch, overlocking and open embroidery, plus a slide-on extension table, three bobbins, a needle selection, accessory bag, dust cover, foot control and power cable. The included tools and feet cover everyday sewing, garment construction, basic quilting and decorative work straight out of the box.
Is the BERNINA 335 good for quilting?
The 335 is well suited to piecing, appliqué and free-motion quilting on small to mid-sized projects. The 6.3-inch workspace and included slide-on extension table give room for throw-sized quilts, drop feed dogs free the needle for free-motion work, and the 625-stitch range includes utility, decorative and quilting options for piecing and finishing.
