Bernina B 335 (Gen 2)
BERNINA B 335 (Gen 2) Sewing Machine
The BERNINA B 335 (Gen 2) is a compact, high-quality sewing machine built for sewists who want BERNINA stitch precision in a machine that fits easily into a small sewing space. Designed as an easy-to-use, modern entry-level model, the B 335 (Gen 2) features a color touch screen for direct stitch selection and on-screen guidance, making it simple to choose, adjust, and save stitches for future projects.
With approximately 6.3 inches (16 cm) of space to the right of the needle, the B 335 gives you comfortable room for quilting, garments, and home décor projects while remaining highly portable and easy to store. A semi-automatic needle threader speeds up setup, and the machine’s automatic buttonhole function helps you create consistent, professional-looking buttonholes with less effort.
The BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS) is available with an optional knee lifter, letting you raise and lower the presser foot hands-free—ideal for precise fabric control on corners, curves, and thicker seams. The Gen 2 update also adds adjustable presser foot pressure, improving feeding performance across lightweight fabrics, knits, and heavier materials.
Whether you’re upgrading from a basic machine or buying your first “serious” sewing machine, the BERNINA B 335 (Gen 2) is a powerful, modern choice that balances ease of use, precision stitching, and premium build quality in a compact format.

Buying a BERNINA B 335 (Gen 2) is the easy part. Getting the right setup, support, training, and long-term service is what determines whether you love the machine—or feel stuck with it.
Here’s why buying your B 335 (Gen 2) from Nashua Sew & Vac is the smart move.
1) You’re Buying the Machine and the Support System
Nashua Sew & Vac explicitly positions itself as a full-service dealer where the sale includes the things that make ownership easier: staff expertise, lesson programs, and service that backs up every sale.
This matters because the B 335 (Gen 2) is a feature-rich computerized machine—and having help with setup and learning curve prevents frustration.
2) Certified Service Department (Factory-Trained + OEM Parts)
When you buy local from Nashua Sew & Vac, you’re buying from a store that clearly states:
-
They service what they sell
-
They have a Certified Service Department
-
Their technicians are factory-trained
-
They keep a large stock of OEM parts for quicker repairs
-
They provide clear estimates before work begins
For a computerized machine, fast, competent service is a real advantage versus shipping a machine away or hunting for a repair tech later.
3) Lessons and Education (So You Actually Use What You Bought)
They run classes and events, which means you can get hands-on help learning your machine and building skills over time.
This is especially valuable for “step-up” buyers who are upgrading from a basic machine and want confidence with:
-
stitch settings
-
presser feet
-
buttonholes
-
troubleshooting
-
best practices for different fabrics
4) Better Buying Experience for a Long-Term Machine
Nashua Sew & Vac frames the purchase as joining a community built around quality, education, and long-term support, and highlights that they’re family-run and committed to helping you love your machine for years.
That’s the exact kind of dealer relationship you want with a brand like BERNINA.
5) Direct Access to the B 335 (Gen 2) and Local Help
Their product listing for the BERNINA B 335 (Gen 2) emphasizes in-store service on every sewing machine and vacuum they sell, and gives customers an option to call or join a waitlist if out of stock—meaning a real person is involved, not just checkout buttons.

-
Certified service + OEM parts
