bernette bernette 70 DECO
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The bernette 70 DECO is a machine dedicated to embroidery only: the work area reaches 260 x 160 mm, and changing hoops is quicker than usual because the machine automatically recognises which of the three included hoops, from the large 160 x 260 mm down to the small 50 x 70 mm, is attached, and adjusts the visible area on screen accordingly. The colour touchscreen sits at the centre of the machine, with multi-function dials to fine-tune the size and position of a motif without going through menus.
The 208 built-in designs and 7 alphabets are chosen right there, and elements can be rotated, flipped or combined before stitching; personal designs load from a USB flash drive. Upper and lower thread sensors stop the machine before a spool runs out mid-way through a design area, and thread is trimmed automatically between colours.
It embroiders up to 850 stitches per minute, but that is all it is built for: anyone who also wants to sew needs to look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
In favour
- It automatically recognises which of the three hoops is attached and adjusts the on-screen area
- Design elements can be rotated, flipped and combined directly on the touchscreen
- The 260 x 160 mm area cuts down how often the hoop needs to be removed and repositioned
Worth knowing
- It is dedicated to embroidery only: it does not sew straight or decorative stitches like a combo machine source
- It has no wireless connection: designs transfer only via USB flash drive
