Bernina LIBERTY X BERNINA

Iconic Liberty design meets the precision of BERNINA.

Discover the limited-edition BERNINA x Liberty collection, bringing together BERNINA's renowned Swiss engineering with Liberty's unmistakable floral design. At the heart of the collection are the BERNINA 495 Liberty Edition and BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition, with coordinating BERNINA x Liberty trolley bags and embroidery module available separately.

Both Liberty Edition machines include 32 exclusive Liberty decorative stitches, three additional presser feet and a matching Liberty dust cover. The BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition takes the collaboration into embroidery too, with 91 exclusive Liberty embroidery designs ready to use with a compatible embroidery module.

Two distinctive Liberty Edition machines

Each machine has been given its own personality through a carefully selected Liberty print.

The BERNINA 495 Liberty Edition features Velasco Meadow, a playful floral design with fine lines, blossoms and subtle colour. The BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition features Glen Lyon Blooms, a delicate floral print inspired by artworks redrawn and hand painted in Liberty's London design studio.

These aren't simply standard machines with a decorative faceplate. The Liberty collaboration continues into the sewing itself, with 32 exclusive decorative stitches giving you another way to bring Liberty design into your projects.

BERNINA 495 Liberty Edition

The BERNINA 495 Liberty Edition is a premium sewing machine suited to dressmaking, patchwork, quilting and creative sewing. Along with its exclusive Velasco Meadow faceplate and Liberty stitches, it comes with three additional BERNINA presser feet: Edgestitch Foot #10, Open Embroidery Foot #20 and Patchwork Foot #37.

These complement the machine's standard presser feet and give you useful additional options for precise topstitching, decorative sewing, patchwork and detailed work.

Automatic thread cutting and adjustable presser foot pressure make everyday sewing easier, whether you're working with fine fabrics, multiple layers or something in between.

BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition

For sewists who want to combine sewing, quilting and embroidery, the BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition opens up even more creative possibilities.

Its Glen Lyon Blooms faceplate is accompanied by the same 32 exclusive Liberty decorative stitches, plus 91 Liberty embroidery designs. Add a compatible embroidery module, sold separately, and those distinctive Liberty motifs can become part of garments, quilts, bags, homewares and personalised projects.

The 580 also offers generous working space for larger projects and BERNINA Stitch Regulator functionality for free-motion work. The BSR presser foot itself is an optional accessory.

BERNINA 495 or 580 Liberty Edition?

Choosing between the two comes down to the type of sewing you want to do.

Choose the BERNINA 495 Liberty Edition if you're looking for a highly capable sewing machine for garment making, patchwork, quilting and decorative sewing, with the added appeal of the exclusive Liberty design and accessories.

Choose the BERNINA 580 Liberty Edition if you want those Liberty details along with greater room for larger projects and the option to expand into machine embroidery. Its 91 exclusive Liberty embroidery designs make the 580 particularly appealing if embroidery is already part of your sewing or something you'd like to explore.
