For more details, view the B790 Ultra Brochure.
BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator (BISR) and Stitch Regulator Features
BERNINA’s BISR keeps your chosen stitch length during free-motion quilting at different speeds. It helps reduce puckering and uneven stitches.
BISR senses fabric movement for smoother, even stitching in straight or free-motion quilting. It coordinates with motor/feed systems, ensuring consistent results across techniques while reducing finishing time and rework.
The Bernina pinpoint laser marks needle entry for accurate alignment of motifs, seams, monograms, appliqué, and multi-part embroidery.
The 790 Ultra’s presser foot and adjustable needle stop help you pivot and sew accurate corners. They prevent skipped starts and support precise embroidery placement on dense, layered fabrics. This saves time and thread.
Stitch plate recognition automatically adjusts machine settings to match the fitted plate, reducing errors, incorrect stitches, and needle strikes.
Stitch Plate Recognition blocks stitches or speeds that do not match specialty plates. It warns you if you install the wrong plate. It improves safety during tasks like free-motion quilting. It helps prevent damage to the needle, plate, or fabric.
Adaptive thread tension automatically adjusts from a set baseline to maintain balanced stitches across varying fabrics and stitch conditions.
The 790 Ultra offers adaptive thread tension with stored profiles and manual override. With Smart Drive embroidery, it reduces thread breaks and skipped stitches, minimising rethreading and increasing sewing time.
Creative Stitching and Customisation Tools
The Stitch Designer lets you create and edit stitches directly on the machine. You can draw new stitch shapes, change stitch length and width, and save custom patterns to the machine’s memory. This is useful when you need a repeat pattern or a specific motif for trims and hems.
The Stitch Designer lets you preview, tweak, name, save, and sequence decorative stitches created from simple lines.
The Jumbo Stitch function resizes stitches from 25% up to 500%. That lets you turn a small decorative stitch into a bold, large motif for visible trims or monograms. You control scaling precisely, so proportions stay correct and stitch density adjusts to match the new size.
Resizing decorative stitches can improve large-scale quality by recalculating placement and tension, but verify each stitch’s size limits.
Morphing mixes two or more stitches into a new pattern you control. You can choose start and end stitches, then set intermediate steps to create a smooth transition. This gives you complex decorative stitches without having to design each stage manually.
Morphing customises borders by blending geometric and floral stitches with previews, adjustable ratios, and reusable saved designs.
Sideways Motion moves the needle left and right while the feed dog advances fabric. This lets you build wide, multi-directional decorative stitches beyond normal zigzag limits. You can create satin-like fills and complex motifs that run across fabric in several directions.
Combine sideways motion with stitch resizing/morphing to expand decorative effects, mimic hand-stitching, and adjust settings to prevent interference.
Embroidery Excellence
The B 790 ULTRA includes the Embroidery Module L with Smart Drive Technology (SDT). This module improves stitch quality and movement, and raises embroidery speed while keeping motion smooth and quiet. The module fits securely and connects to the machine for stable, repeatable performance when you work on large motifs.
You can use a range of embroidery hoops for small monograms up to large, multi‑segment designs. The large hoop gives more fill area and reduces the need to re-hoop. We support magnetic hoops and standard frames, so you can choose the hoop that matches your fabric and stabiliser. Check hoop compatibility before starting complex projects to avoid size limits.
Bernina Embroidery Software 9 pairs tightly with the machine for design creation, editing and transfer. The DesignerPlus level gives you advanced tools: vector import, manual digitising, stitch density control and lettering. These features let you convert logos and artwork into clean embroidery files.
Wi‑Fi connectivity links the software to your machine. You can send .EXP/.ART files directly and use the Stitchout App to monitor progress remotely. Use the software’s resize and density tools to prep designs for different hoop sizes and fabrics. This cuts trial stitches and saves stabiliser. Save versions for repeat projects and label files clearly to streamline your workflow.
The B 790 ULTRA supports a wide range of embroidery file types and lets you edit designs on the 7" touch screen. Drag, rotate and place motifs on screen, and use three‑point placement for precise alignment. The Pinpoint Laser helps you mark start points on the fabric for exact positioning.
For multi‑piece projects, use the machine’s crop‑and‑connect and re-hoop features to stitch large quilts or panels without losing alignment. The Jumbo Stitch and stitch resizing let you adapt decorative elements when needed. Plan stabiliser, thread colours and hoop sequence before you start reducing errors and rework during a project.
User Experience and Interface
The 7" touch screen sits in the centre of the machine and responds to taps, swipes and drag gestures. The display uses clear icons and menus. You can pick stitch patterns, change stitch length and width, and place embroidery designs. You do not need to dig through nested menus.
Supports USB mouse for precise editing; screen offers real-time stitch previews and guides with backlit large text. Menus cover stitch and embroidery settings; interface saves recent presets for quick reuse.
The built‑in Help Center stores tutorials, step‑by‑step guides and the full user manual you can open on the screen. When you select a function, context‑sensitive help often appears, showing short instructions and recommended presser feet or settings.
The Creative Consultant suggests stitches, presser feet, tension, and thread for your fabrics and tasks. It also includes in-app videos and written Help Centre tips. Keyword search speeds troubleshooting and learning.
The automatic needle threader pulls the thread through the needle with one guided action. You follow a short, fixed sequence. It aligns the threader with the needle eye. Then you release a lever or button. The thread passes through cleanly.
It saves time and reduces eye strain, reliably working with standard needles and common threads for multiple sewing crafts.
If the thread misses the eye, the machine shows a simple diagram on the 7" screen to guide a quick repeat of the step. Routine cleaning of the threader area keeps performance smooth.
You can connect the machine to your Wi‑Fi network to transfer designs and receive firmware updates. The connection lets you import embroidery files from a computer or cloud storage and store user presets on a USB stick.
Wi‑Fi lets the machine sync designs with desktop software and online libraries. It can receive firmware updates with install prompts. It can also transfer common embroidery files. This cuts manual copying and helps keep it updated.
Advanced Quilting Capabilities
The 790 ULTRA gives you precise stitch control and tools for large, custom quilts. You get on-machine options to edit, position and join designs, plus file support for saving complex quilt layouts.
You can use the machine’s computerised quilting features to crop, move, and join embroidery or quilt blocks. Do this directly on the 7-inch touchscreen.
Crop and Connect lets you trim a design or motif. Then you can reconnect it to another section. This keeps seams and motif placement exact without re-hooping.
Use the touchscreen to move designs in small steps and to mirror or rotate motifs.The machine also supports wireless transfer from Bernina software, so you can send edited designs to the machine and monitor embroidery progress via app. These tools cut down manual repositioning and keep stitch length consistent across joins.
The 790 ULTRA accepts .bqm files so you can save and load quilt layouts with stitch density, scaling and placement preserved. You can scale designs without losing your chosen stitches-per-inch settings. This helps keep quilting texture even across different quilt sizes.On the machine, adjust stitches per inch, resize blocks, and combine multiple quilt patterns into a single layout.
The system stores up to 120 customisable quilt designs, letting you recall complex arrangements for repeat projects or sampler quilts. This makes it easier to plan patchwork, sashings and borders while keeping stitch quality consistent.
