Experience the need for speed with an impressive speed of 1’600 stitches per minute. This machine will reduce the time needed to complete your sewing projects.
Easily adjust your sewing pace by simply using the speed control slider on the machine. This can be very helpful while sewing with delicate fabrics. With the extra-large Foot Control, you can even sew stitch-by-stitch, which is particularly useful when sewing with delicate fabrics.
This machine comes with an Extra Large Bobbin which holds up to 40% more thread compared to regular bobbins, allowing you to sew longer sessions without winding. This is particular an advantage for large projects such as quilts or long seams in garment sewing.
The best part is that there is no need to remove the sewing project thanks to the side-loading access to the bobbin. In addition, the all-metal bobbin case gives more stability. Combined with the Rotary Hook, you will get flawless results.
With the independent bobbin winding motor, you can wind your bobbin without interrupting your sewing. This allows for a smoother and more efficient sewing.
The Straight Stitch machine is optimized for precise straight stitching. With its fixed needle position, the Straight Stitch machine is ideal for perfect, efficient straight stitches when working on a wide range of sewing projects such as clothing, bags and other DIY projects as well as quilting. The bernette 08 Straight Stitch comes with a stitch length of up to 6 mm, a fast and powerful direct current motor (DC motor), a smooth-running transport mechanism and intuitive controls that facilitate easy handling. The user-friendliness, high performance and durability make it the ideal choice for both beginners and experienced sewers.
The direct current motor (DC motor) offers the significant advantage of high performance at low speed, as the required power is achieved by the motor at any speed in the shortest possible time. This means that the b08 Straight Stitch holds its power at any speed. With the b08 Straight Stitch, slow sewing stitch by stitch is therefore also ideal for heavier materials such as leather or several layers of fabric.
Due to the DC motor, the helpful “needle stop up/down” function can be used, as the needle position can be specifically controlled via the electronics. This allows the needle to be stopped precisely at the bottom and the fabric to be turned around the needle when changing direction.
As a high-speed sewing machine, the b08 Straight Stitch requires needles specially made for this type of machine. We recommend the use of Schmetz High Speed HLx5 needles with a flat shaft. The slightly rounded point ensures that it is possible to sew through a variety of materials at high speed without damaging the fabric. The needles are available in different sizes:
Two presser feet are supplied with the b08 Straight Stitch: the Straight Stitch Foot and the Narrow Straight Stitch Foot.
The Straight Stitch Foot is generally used for both lightweight and heavy fabrics. The special foot features a flat underside that ensures even pressure on the feed dog and a rounded needle opening. This design helps to avoid skipped stitches and reduces puckering.
The Narrow Straight Stitch Foot is an ideal alternative to the standard Straight Stitch Foot. Its streamlined shape makes it a fantastic tool for sewing piping or borders, allowing you to work with precision and to achieve a professional look.
Two different presser foot sets are available for a comprehensive sewing experience: The bernette 08 Quilt Making Set is a definite must-have for all quilting enthusiasts. The bernette 08 DIY Sewing Set is the ideal choice when it comes to sewing garments and handicrafts.
The following feet can also be purchased separately:
In order to be able to quilt with the machine, the feed dog is masked with the Darning Plate. Therefore, the feed dog does not need to be lowered. The darning plate is available either as an individual set together with the darning foot or as part of the Quilt Making Set.
