BERNINA 790 Ultra: Sew, Quilt, and Embroider Without Limits
Precision Sewing and Quilting
The flagship of the 7 Series pairs the precision BERNINA Hook with 2,248 stitches and the BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator (BISR) for even free-motion work. With 10 inches of space to the right of the needle and BERNINA Dual Feed, large quilts feed smoothly from the first stitch to the last.

Embroidery Without Limits
Switch to embroidery and work with 610 built-in designs and 25 alphabets across an area up to 400 x 210 mm. The included L embroidery module and three oval hoops get you started right away, and the machine is compatible with the Jumbo, Maxi, Mega, and Midi hoops.
Smart Guidance Touch Screen
- 7-inch central color touchscreen
- Drag, drop, and swipe gestures
- Help Center and Creative Consultant on screen
The centrally located 7-inch touchscreen responds to intuitive gestures, so selecting stitches and editing designs feels natural. The on-screen Help Center keeps guidance close at hand.

Automatic Needle Threading
- Push a button to thread
- Threads needles from size 70
- Ready to sew in seconds
The automatic needle threader handles threading for you, plus an automatic thread cutter and thread-up command, so you spend less time setting up and more time creating.
BERNINA Pinpoint Laser
- Works in every needle position
- Shows the exact needle entry point
- Next-level precision
The Pinpoint Laser indicates exactly where the needle will enter the fabric, so placement is precise in every needle position. Thirty LED lights keep the whole work area bright.

Automatic Stitch Plate Recognition
- Three sensor stitch plates included
