Unmatched Workspace and Convenience
Enjoy a generous working area with 10" to the right of the needle, providing comfortable space for sewing, quilting, and embroidery projects. The centrally positioned 7" colour touchscreen offers clear visibility and intuitive navigation, giving easy access to stitches, settings, and design adjustments. A high maximum sewing speed supports efficient, accurate work while maintaining the smooth stitch quality BERNINA machines are known for.
Innovative Features for Confident Sewing and Quilting
Advanced stitch control supports smooth, balanced stitching across a wide range of fabrics and techniques. Automatic thread management adapts as conditions change, helping maintain consistent stitch quality without constant manual adjustment. Integrated fabric feeding assists with accurate handling of layered or challenging materials, supporting confident sewing and quilting results.
Creative Control and Stitch Customisation
The B790 ULTRA offers extensive creative flexibility, allowing stitches to be adjusted, combined, and saved directly on screen. Decorative and functional stitches can be personalised to suit individual projects, while quilting focused functions support careful stitch placement and consistent results across larger work.
Precision and Ease of Use
Practical features such as precise needle positioning, clear visibility of the sewing area, and responsive controls make the machine intuitive to use, even during complex work. Bright LED lighting illuminates the workspace evenly, reducing eye strain and supporting accuracy during longer sewing sessions.
Designed for Long Sewing Sessions
A large capacity bobbin reduces interruptions, while the smooth running motor delivers stable, controlled performance at all speeds. Every aspect of the B790 ULTRA is designed to feel dependable and well balanced, supporting extended sewing, quilting, and embroidery with confidence and comfort.

Bernina machines sold in the United Kingdom currently include a full 7 year manufacturer’s warranty covering the whole machine, giving you long term confidence in your investment.
At Quilt Direct, we want you to feel confident and well supported with your new machine. We will help you register your warranty so everything is set up correctly from the start.
To activate the extended warranty, complete the warranty card included with your machine and return it to Quilt Direct. We will sign and register the warranty for you and arrange for your official extended warranty certificate to be issued by Bernina’s UK distributor, Bogod & Co.
To maintain the extended warranty, the machine should be serviced within the recommended service periods. Bernina sewing machines include electronic stitch counters which display an on screen message when a service is due.
Even if the machine is used only occasionally and the stitch counter reminder has not appeared, the machine should still be serviced at least once every 3 years to keep it running smoothly.
The extended warranty applies to normal domestic use only and is valid for the original purchaser of the machine. It does not apply to machines used for educational or commercial purposes.
If you have any questions about your warranty, servicing, or looking after your machine, the Quilt Direct team will always be happy to help.
