For Swiss fashion designer Yvonne Reichmuth "YVY" the Bernina 480 exceeds expectations
Highly sophisticated. Brilliantly simple. Like Yvonne’s beautiful designs, her B 480 expertly combines simple, easy-to-use features with innovative technology, ensuring that her stitches are impeccable on everything from leather to delicate fabrics. Her machine exceeds her expectations. You can expect the same.

The best gift I've ever received was a Bernina sewing machine. The Bernina 480 is an essential part of my studio
