Bernina 180e Review

The Bernina 180e sewing machine offers over a hundred different stitches, like the practical stitches, the decorative stitches, the quilt stitches, the sideways motion stitches, and also the alphabet and embroidery design stitches.

The machine is also equipped with stitch functions such as the continuous stitch adjustment, the unlimited stitch adjustment, and the long basting stitch. You only have to press Bernina 180e's buttons to select the desired function.

The Bernina 180e's memory functions are programmed within the three function buttons that are conveniently located on the upper right corner of the machine.

This includes the long term buttonhole memory which stores your previously used buttonhole choice, the on-screen button measuring function that measures and supplies different stitch width and length choices, and the temporary altered stitch memory that allows you to store your store your chosen stitches when alternately shifting from one stitch design to another.

This unique sewing machine is equipped with additional features so that you can endlessly create your sewing projects. It has a selection of three alphabet types and its monograms also come in three sizes.

It has eleven buttonhole choices so that you won't be stuck with only a few options, which can be quite frustrating because not every sewing project design looks good with a particular buttonhole size or design.

The machine comes with the following features:
  • Automatic stitch settings
  • Variety of decorative stitches
  • Large touch screen
  • Customized CPS software
  • Compact fluorescent light
  • Free-hand system

  • On-Screen button measuring

  • Automatic buttonhole foot
  • Reverse pattern foot
  • Overlock foot
  • Zipper foot
  • Blind stitch foot
  • Open embroidery foot
  • Closed embroidery foot
  • Sideways motion foot with code

The Bernina 180e's special feature is the third version of Bernina's newest artlink and the fourth version of the CPS software with an additional computer cord. The artlink feature allows you to download any art format off the Internet and load it directly to the machine.

There are so many additional sewing stitches and embroidery patterns that can be used with the built-in patterns in the machine. These patterns can also be modified.

You can digitize your own designs or stitches for creativity. All features can be applied with the help of two videotapes that come with the package. These instructional videos show you how to use all the functions of the Bernina 180e.

Consumer Reviews
I am so pleased so far. I have had a chance to mend medium and lightweight clothes. I have tried out all the decorative stitches and look forward to do more on spring break. It worked consistently with very even performance.

However, it operated more loudly than expected. I am sure to get used to it, as the machine works so well. It works better than expected, as the price was so reasonable. -E. Glasheen
