River City Sewing announces we will be hosting a series of Test Drives on the new Bernina 570QE from 26-28th April at our store.Customers can book their place at these free test drives at our online booking page or by calling us on 3393 5575.

The great “all-rounder” for sewing, quilting and embroidery has been re-engineered with an array of new features and functions that will spoil you just a little when you are creating your next project. With it’s larger freearm offering 8.5” right of the needle (this is over 12% more space than the current model!). This larger workspace is perfect to handle big quilting and sewing projects with ease. The new pivot funtion - the foot raises but the needle stays in the fabric, (without the use of the knee lift), making it easier to turn as you sew your appliques or quilting designs. With the larger Bernina Hook and bobbin sys-tem, you have an increased bobbin capacity, which means less bobbin changes and more of the fun stuff. The new built-in Bernina dual feed system feeds the fabric evenly from above and below. It’s simple to engage and tucks away when not in use. You will wonder how you ever managed without it! Thanks to the new auto-matic thread cutter, your thread is cut with an easy one-button operation, keeping your work flowing easily, neatly and saving time.The Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) is included with the Bernina 570QE (valued at $799), which completes the perfect combination in a great sewing and quilting machine. With the additional purchase of an embroidery module, you can unlock the world of embroidery as this feature packed machine has 250 in-built embroi-dery designs and 7 embroidery alphabets just waiting to be stitched out on your personalised quilt labels, embroidery project, home decorator projects and much , much more than you could imagine.
