Bernina unveils 75th Anniversary edition Machines

Bernina of America has released a commemorative collection of limited-edition sewing machines as a special promotion under the Bernina 75th anniversary theme, “It’s our anniversary, but it’s your year.”

Each anniversary edition Bernina machine features commemorative design enhancements and attractive gift-with-purchase accessory packages. The top-of-the-line artista 730E Anniversary Edition features a custom-designed, Swarovski crystal-studded 75th Anniversary medallion.
