Easy threading

Right from the start, the BERNINA 215 lets you enjoy the optimum convenience of a Swiss precision sewing machine that’s revealed particularly in the details: for instance, its built-in needle threader which lets you rethread the machine when changing spools in the blink of an eye. This saves time and is a genuine help.

At the touch of a button, the BERNINA 215 Simply Red lets you set your needle to stop up or down in the fabric. What’s more, the sewing speed of the BERNINA 215 Simply Red can be reduced to half-tempo with the optional slide speed control. You always maintain control over the sewing speed and the position of the needle when the sewing process is stopped. Since sewing speed can be adjusted to your personal abilities, even beginners can expect high-quality results.

Your desired stitch at the touch of a button

The BERNINA 215 Simply Red offers you a range of the most commonly used practical stitches which are simply set at the touch of a button. Large, clear icons next to the direct-selection keys display the stitch in question, so that you can change the stitch at the press of a button.
