The Bernina S 480 is a perfect choice for the professional dressmaker and fashion designer. It offers a comprehensive range of stitches and features all designed to help you create. It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants some scope from their new machine. Why replace an old machine with something newer, but very similar in what it offers. A machine with more stitches and features will often encourage you to grow. You can then develop more skills – and more enjoyment from your sewing.
