Bernette Sew&Go 8 Computerized Sewing Machine by BERNINA Switzerland | 197 Stitches & Built-in Alphabets | LCD Screen | 70W Motor | Metal Frame | Auto Needle Threader | Accessory Kit | Multicolor

An excellent entry-level computerised sewing machine for the beginners...it has a learning curve; but it's extremely user friendly and anyone can learn using it in a jiffy. It is probably one of the most affordable computerised machines in the market and offers a great value for money. The only thing I was skeptical about was the customer support, considering some competing brands offer sales and service in my city, while the nearest service centre for this brand is 100km away. But the glowing reviews here gave some reassurance. Nevertheless I contacted the company and bombarded them with lengthy mails wrt to the service centres and what I am supposed to do if something goes wrong. I received prompt replies for every single mail with detailed information, which gave me some reassurance that I won't be left without service and support. After I received the machine, installation and setup was a breeze. I am a beginner and I didn't know the basics of sewing. As a result, when I couldn't get some patterns right, I panicked and contacted their customer care. They explained things over a video call and taught me how I should use those modes and where things went wrong. In fact they offered to give me a training session, though I could not opt for it due to the language barrier. SO, I have had a good experience overall. To summarise, - It's a good machine - it works well and it's easy to use (always refer the manual before trying anything new - look for the right presser foot for the application and the settings for that) - it's packed with features that are not available on any other machine in this price range - It's a good value for money - The company replies to your queries fast and is sincere with resolving your issues I would recommend it now. But take it with a grain of salt: I am a beginner and I have never touched any other sewing machine in my life before. I have started using it only now, though I have learnt a lot with it in a short time. I need to use it for a year or two and see if I'll be of the same opinion in the long run. Cheers!

Good product

I bought this sewing machine after a lot of research. This is the most competitively priced among the fully automatic machines and has the maximum stitch width (10mm). It starts stitching at the press of a button. A foot pedal is given but it’s up to you to use it or not. It saves a lot of time because the threads don't come out of the needle if you cut them a little too close. It has a semi-automatic needle threader (not covered in warranty) that needs a bit of getting used to. You can control the speed. And there's a small blade that you can use to cut the threads. It's quite sturdy, I've been using it every day the last couple of months and so far it's been very good to me. The tool box is placed in such a way that you don't have to remove it every time you want to change the bobbin. Don't think you have 197 decorative stitches. After letters, numbers, button hole stitches etc., you only have a few dozens of real decorative stitches but they are really pretty. Now, on to the not-so-great things: I wish it had an automatic thread cutter. It would have made the sewing machine complete for me. Like many others pointed out, it does shock you (very mildly) if you touch the metal plate (the plug has only 2 pins). When it comes to thick fabrics, it's ok, not great. Same with leather (but no home sewing machine is great with leather). Tip: Make sure you thread the bobbin thread tight. If the tension isn't enough the stitches won't come out properly. The needle threader needs some practice - try to keep it at the same level as the eye of the needle.

I gifted this machine to my wife on her birthday. She is in love with it . Pros 1. Weightless and protable. 2. Easily understandable Manual. 3. Quality of stich is really good . 4. The service is good, the distributor is very amicable. 5. The foot and accessories are way better compared to other sewing machine accessories. 6. The trainer associated with this product articulates the usage in a polite and easy way, she is pretty much accessible most of the time. Cons. 1. Additional 2k needs to be spent on inverter to avoid damage to the machine in case of power failure . 2. It would have been nice if there were more colour options . Overall satisfied with this purchase

Ultra smooth working. Neat stitches. Extra neat and clear patterns and letters. Simultaneous use of foot pedal and on/off swich gives extra ease for works. Simple and easily readable interface. Really fell in love with this model and started enjoying the easiness. But the piece which I got and the seller's reply and explanations on an issue forced me to return it. My daughter felt a mild electric shock while touching the metal parts. I checked it, confirmed with a line tester and contacted the seller. They simply told that it is the presence of static electricity. He also said that there may be fault with my house wiring. Remember, the machine carries a two pin electrical connection. As an electonics engineer I couldn't swollow it.

Nice and easy to use product for beginners or experts. We did not have any prior sewing machine experience but Barnett seller provided online training and trainer gave demo with lot of patience. Cons: machine has two pin plug and machine gives shock sometimes. Solution: Reverse the Pin position if you get shock. Update after 8 months Thread is getting stuck in the Machine and Shock issue is still there. Will update review after visiting Customer care

Review after couple of weeks of usage - Excellent sewing machine. Sews multiple layers of cloth without any issues, just that the right speed and right stitch length needs to be set. The customer support is excellent - they always respond to your calls without any delays. A soft cover is provided along with the machine. The user manual is elaborate with pictorial representations and perfect for even beginners to start with. Just go for it. Additional accessories can be purchased from bernette/bernina Mumbai office, they send the accessories through speed post. The warranty card has to be filled in and sent back to the head office as mentioned in the warranty terms and conditions. Shall update in long run for any further highlights.

The machine looks good but there were no accesories in the box like charger, bobbins etc. I raised a return request order USHA Janoma stitch magic which was delivered and is great. Has been a week and still waiting for Amazon to pickup this machine. My money is not stuck for the mistake done by either seller or Amazon delivery. Pathetic experience....

totalement conforme aux attente j'adore

So far, so good. It has many functions and it will take me a long time before I can call myself an expert. I'm writing this review less than 1 month of having it. I'm coming from a cheaper machine, this is my first machine above 250 euro. It's a completely different sewing experience and a very good investment so far. I love all the features I have tried so far, including the manual start-stop instead of the pedal. I love the needle control (up-down), the speed regulation (I like to sew difficult parts very slowly). I don't really need decorations but it's fun to experiment with them, I have personalized some items with my name on them :) I am loving the display with all the parameters always before my eyes (length and width of the stitch, etc.). I think it's very well designed, and I'm not often generous with technology designs. Has many types of foot, have only tried two so far. Easy to change. I use the needle threader a lot, honestly it's heaven, with frequent color changes it was madness to thread the needle by hand on my other machine. I struggle with the cover of the bottom bobbin honestly, it takes me a few attempts to close it right every time.

Die Bernette Sew&Go 8 überzeugt durch ihre vielseitigen Funktionen und eine benutzerfreundliche Bedienung. Die Maschine bietet eine große Auswahl an Stichprogrammen, die sich einfach über das übersichtliche Display auswählen lassen. Sowohl für Anfänger als auch für fortgeschrittene Hobbyschneider eignet sie sich gut. Die Nähte werden sauber und gleichmäßig ausgeführt, auch bei unterschiedlichen Stoffarten. Positiv hervorzuheben sind der ruhige Lauf, die einfache Fadeneinfädelung und die praktischen Automatikfunktionen. Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und stabil. Insgesamt bietet die Bernette Sew&Go 8 ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und ist eine empfehlenswerte Nähmaschine für kreative Nähprojekte.

Jag troode jag köpte en maskin på bilden i anonsen ( Den är reklam fri)och efter som jag köpte den från amazon så förväntade jag mig inte att där skulle stå Shopty på maskinen. Hade jag velat ha en reklam maskin hade jag köpt den från Shopty direkt. så Maskinen går tillbaka
