Bernina 930
A Durable Sewing Machine You Can Rely On


The Bernina 930 sewing machine was manufactured during the 1980s, and during that time it was already considered phenomenal.

It's one of the earliest electronic sewing machines available in the market.

The Bernina company has stopped producing them so they are hard to find off- and online.

However, 930 model by Bernina still remains unbeatable. It has withstood the test of time and is still being sought by home sewers.

Bernina 930 Review

The Bernina model 930 has been described as a work horse, for the simple reason that it can basically help you create anything in a short amount of time. It possesses a lot of beautiful stitches, which then allows you to come up with attractive patterns for your embroidery, quilting, or basic sewing projects.

There are 14 utility or basic stitches and 12 fancy stitches that are embedded into the sewing machine. This makes it a lot easier for you to produce the necessary or wanted stitch for your current sewing task. You simply have to identify the proper settings, and the sewing machine will help you out.

The thread cutter in the 930 model helps you create a much cleaner finish for your fabrics and of course takes care of the unused threads which could cause potential problems along the way.

Advantages Of Bernina 930

1. Automatic bobbin winder.
If you have worked on manual or older versions of sewing machines, then you must have felt the difficulty of winding and rewinding the bobbin. The steps are exhausting.

You have to remove the bobbin case from the sewing equipment, get rid of the bobbin from the case, wind the thread, and do the same steps in reverse.

In the Bernina model 930, you have a shortcut. With a simple press of the button, the bobbin will automatically wind itself.

2. Quick and continuous reverse.
If you don't want weak stitches, you must perform a reverse stitch. If you have a manual sewing equipment, this is difficult. You have to ensure that you can create the same stitch without damaging what you've already produced.

The quick and continuous reverse stitching mechanism of Bernina 930 sewing machines allows you to produce the kind of stitch that you need with ease.

3. Extension table.
Are you working on much bigger fabrics? Then you definitely have to have a lot of space available. The 930 model from Bernina has a free arm, where you can work on the cuffs and legs of your pants, as well as an extension table, where you can extend the long fabric and place your other needed accessories.

4. 5-step button.
Creating a button is never a problem with the 930 by Bernina. In 5 steps, you will already have the kind of button you need to include in your sewing project.

Disadvantage Of Bernina 930

Despite the many features, though, the model 930 is a heavy machine, which makes it unfriendly for older sewers or people who are in sewing classes. Nevertheless, if you would not mind giving this machine its own permanent spot in your home, then a Bernina 930 is worth a buy.

Consumer Reviews
I have the Bernina with me since I was young, and I'm just grateful that my mom bought it. She was able to share a legacy with me. She also left her memory. Even if there are new sewing machines available today, I don't think I'm willing to let go of this yet.-Cathy

I just bought a refurbished one, and I'm just astonished on how amazing it is. I thought electronic sewing machines have been around in the 1990s. This Bernina 930 sewing machine only proved that technology was already available as early as the 1970s. I love the stitches it creates, its durability, and its appearance.-Bea
