The differences that matter
Manufacturer-declared figures.
- Built-in stitches: 500 against 247 → the bernette stores more to choose from.
- Maximum stitch width: 7 mm against 9 mm → the Pfaff makes wider zigzags.
- Space to the right of the needle: 230 mm against 250 mm → a little more of the project fits under the Pfaff's arm.
- Display: 5 against 3.5 inches → on the bernette the controls sit on a larger screen.
Which one to choose
Choose bernette 77 if…
For sewing a mix of garments and projects with the kit already in the box, the bernette brings 17 buttonhole types and 8 presser feet, with a larger screen. The trade-off is a narrower stitch and less room to the right of the needle.
Choose Pfaff expression 710 if…
For a built-in needle threader, automatic presser-foot lift and lowerable feed dogs, the Pfaff has them all on the machine, with a wider stitch. The trade-off is fewer stored stitches and a smaller screen.
