Bernina 570 QE Product Review & Product Demonstration
The BERNINA 570 QE is built with quilters in mind. The QE designation stands for Quilter's Edition - this machine includes features that quilters use regularly. It comes with presser foot soles for piecing, quilting and appliqué plus the BERNINA Stitch Regulator for free-motion quilting.
This machine includes 1,450 built-in stitches, with 16 automatic one-step buttonholes and eight alphabets. You can customise any stitch by length (up to 6mm) and width (up to 9mm). The front-loading jumbo bobbin holds 70% more thread than standard bobbins, reducing thread changes during large quilts. The machine sews at up to 1,000 stitches per minute, with a slide speed control and 12 LED lights that illuminate your work clearly.
The hover function and knee lifter let you keep both hands on your work whilst the presser foot lifts automatically. With 8.5 inches of space to the right of the needle, this medium-sized machine handles larger projects comfortably. The BERNINA Stitch Regulator maintains even stitches during free-motion quilting, whether you're working slowly with ruler work or stitching at speed.

Learn About the Bernina 570 QE
Built for quilters who want reliable performance, generous workspace and precision stitching on every project.
The BERNINA 570 QE is designed with quilters in mind. The QE stands for Quilter's Edition, delivering features that make piecing and quilting more efficient. Switch between the free arm for sleeves and circular sewing, and the extension table for larger quilting projects, which gives you flexibility for any project size. With 8.5 inches of throat space, you can manage big quilt tops without wrestling with fabric bulk.
Why Choose the BERNINA 570 QE
This machine suits quilters who want consistent results. The included BERNINA Stitch Regulator maintains even free-motion stitches, whilst the knee lifter and hover function let you reposition work without removing your hands from the fabric. BERNINA's adaptive thread tension automatically adjusts for different fabrics, which means your stitches look professional through multiple layers.
