Bernina BERNINA 735 PRO
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The 735 PRO is a sewing and quilting machine with a 7" touchscreen, the largest among the models covered here, and a fully automatic needle threader: press a button and the thread goes through the eye with no hand-guiding needed. The embroidery module stays an optional accessory, not included as standard.
It sews at 1000 stitches per minute, has 1753 patterns with 15 fully automatic one-step buttonholes, and the BERNINA Pinpoint Laser marks the starting point and travel points as you sew, useful for lining up long seams or picking up an interrupted job. Built-in WiFi transfers designs to BERNINA software and connects to the Stitchout App to follow embroidery progress remotely; the knee lever and the presser foot that lifts on its own leave both hands free on the fabric.
It suits someone who sews continuously and wants automation (threading, presser foot lift, a reference laser) that stays manual or absent on other models: anyone looking for a simpler machine with a better space-to-price ratio will find lighter models elsewhere in the same range.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The needle threader is fully automatic: press a button and the thread goes through the eye, no hand-guiding needed
- The 7" touchscreen is the largest among the models covered here, with more room to see stitches and settings
- The presser foot raises and lowers on its own with the foot control: one less thing to manage while sewing
- Built-in WiFi connects to the app to follow the job's progress remotely
