Bernina 500E Embroidery Machine Product review

An embroidery machine is going to be the perfect addition to your sewing studio.

And the Bernina 500E Embroidery Machine is definitely one of the best embroidery machines that you should consider for the job! It’s a high-end machine that will really take your work to the next level!

The Bernina 500E comes pre-programmed with 275 designs. That means that you’ll have the ability to take off sewing as soon as you get the machine unpacked from its box. It has seasonal, Holiday, abstract, and many other types of designs that you’ll love to use over and over again, as well as 8 different embroidery alphabets for monogramming and creating beautiful quilt labels. It is considered that Bernina embroidery machines offer a superior stitch.

You’ll really appreciate the on screen editing the Bernina 500E allows. The screen is large and touch-sensitive, so it’s easy to edit your designs by size, placement, or combining designs to be stitched out in the same hoop. You’ll even be able to create word art directly on the machine itself! There’s no limit to what you can create with what’s already provided on this embroidery machine!

And, if 275 designs aren’t enough for you, you can easily download designs from either embroidery software or the internet to expand your library. It’s easy to upload designs from your computer using a simple USB drive.

When you have an embroidery machine, you find that you’ll appreciate some of the sensors even more. And a bobbin thread sensor is absolutely crucial on an embroidery machine! It helps you avoid stitching out a huge design, only to find that the bobbin was empty for any part of it, rendering the entire design useless and unstable, meaning that you’ll have to start the process all over and hope that your new bobbin is full enough. It also senses if the top thread or bobbin thread have broken at any point so that you can fix it before it ruins your design.

You’re probably wondering what all comes included with the Bernina 500E Embroidery Machine. Let’s take a look at all of the accessories you’ll get with a brand-new machine:

Standard Hoops Included:

  • 1X Medium Embroidery Hoop
  • 1X Large Oval Embroidery Hoop

Standard Accessories Included:

  • 1X Embroidery foot #26
  • 1X Dust cover
  • 1X Accessories box
  • 3X Spool discs
  • 4X Bobbins
  • 2X Foam pads
  • 1X Touchscreen pen
  • 1X Seam ripper
  • 1X Screwdriver red (slot)
  • 1X Brush
  • 1X Sewing machine oil
  • 1X Power cable
  • 1X USB Connecting cable
  • 1X Embroidery needle assortment
  • 1X Template holder
  • 1X Net for upper thread spool

If you really want to take your embroidery up to the next level, you’ll want to consider adding the Bernina Toolbox Software Bundle to your purchase. With this software bundle, you’ll have the ability to edit existing designs, create beautiful lettering and monogramming, and even create entirely new designs that are all your own. Are you into applique? This software can help you create amazing applique designs, too, and programs the machine to stitch it out perfectly! Or perhaps you want to create a sweet quilt label that will hold up longer than a handwritten one with sharpie? This software bundle can help you do exactly that! And bundling the software like this will really save you some money! You’re getting five different software programs for the price of one from another competing brand.

Does the Bernina 500E sound like the perfect embroidery machine for you? Give The Sewing Studio a call or leave us a message and we’ll make sure that you’re purchasing the perfect machine for you and your sewing needs! We can also set up demonstrations and answer any questions you might have about this machine or any other machine we carry in our extensive stock. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create!
