Model overview based on user reviews
The BERNINA Bernette Chicago 7 is a sewing and embroidery machine that offers features like a USB port, numerous finishing stitches, and included presser feet. It allows for speed adjustment, sewing without a pedal, and needle control (up/down position). However, users have reported significant issues, particularly during embroidery. The machine constantly freezes and glitches, making it impossible to resume work at a specific stitch if turned off. Additionally, problems such as thread tension loss, design shifts during embroidery, and needle breakage have been noted. The machine can only be used for short periods, as it starts malfunctioning after about two hours. Overall, while it has useful features, the reliability issues make it a challenging choice for consistent use.
Pros
Cons
disgusting machine! Used it for exactly a month and took it to the service for repair. The thread tension disappeared, the design shifted during embroidery (shifted significantly, by at least 1 cm). It started knocking and breaking needles. Can't work on it for long. Maximum 2 hours. If you turn it off and on, the hoop gets stuck at the bottom. If I were choosing the machine myself, it definitely wouldn't be this one. uSB port, many finishing stitches, feet included. Speed adjustment, sewing without a pedal, needle control (up/down position). constantly freezes and glitches during embroidery. It's impossible to jump to a specific stitch if you accidentally turn off the machine and stopped in the middle of work. use BERNINA Bernette Chicago 7 month or more i recommend it don't buy |
