Includes BSR
BERNINA S-590 – Powerful, Precise Sewing & Quilting
The BERNINA S-590 combines power, precision and ease of use in a feature-packed sewing machine designed for sewists and quilters who want professional results with greater control and convenience.
With a spacious workspace, powerful DC motor, BERNINA Dual Feed, advanced quilting functions and an intuitive colour touchscreen, the S-590 is well suited to everything from everyday sewing and garment making to quilting, multiple layers and larger projects.
The machine is also embroidery capable, with the embroidery unit sold separately, giving you the flexibility to add embroidery functionality when required.
User-Friendly Colour Touchscreen
The BERNINA S-590 features a centrally positioned 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, giving you easy access to machine settings, functions and sewing information.
Helpful On-Screen Guidance
Built-in tutorials and on-screen help make it easier to understand the machine's functions and get the most from its capabilities, whether you are an experienced sewist or exploring more advanced techniques.
Powerful Motor & High-Speed Sewing
The S-590 is equipped with a powerful DC motor designed to provide reliable performance when working with different fabrics and multiple layers.
With sewing speeds of up to 1,000 stitches per minute, you can move efficiently through everyday sewing, quilting and larger projects while maintaining precise stitch control.
Large & Comfortable Workspace
For larger sewing and quilting projects, workspace makes a significant difference.
The BERNINA S-590 provides:
-
8.5 inches of space to the right of the needle
-
4.3-inch sewing height
-
Spacious working area for larger projects
-
Freearm capability for smaller or difficult-to-access areas
The generous workspace gives you room to manage quilts, bulky fabrics and larger sewing projects comfortably.
BERNINA Dual Feed
The BERNINA Dual Feed provides controlled and even fabric feeding, helping you achieve accurate and consistent stitching across a wide range of materials.
It is particularly useful when working with fabrics that require careful handling or when sewing multiple layers together.
BSR – BERNINA Stitch Regulator
The BERNINA S-590 is BSR-enabled, making it an excellent choice for free-motion quilting.
BSR helps regulate stitch length during free-motion sewing, giving you greater control and consistency when creating quilting designs.
Whether you are working on detailed free-motion quilting or larger quilting projects, BSR provides an additional level of precision.
Convenient Automatic Functions
The S-590 includes a range of functions designed to make everyday sewing easier and more comfortable.
Needle Stop Up/Down
Choose whether the needle stops in the up or down position, making fabric positioning and pivoting easier.
Automatic Presser Foot Lifter
The automatic presser foot lifter provides convenient hands-free control when starting, stopping and repositioning your fabric.
Start/Stop Button
The Start/Stop button allows you to sew without using the foot control, which can be particularly useful during long seams or when precise speed control is required.
Easy Threading & Thread Management
The S-590 includes a semi-automatic needle threader, helping make threading the needle quicker and easier.
An automatic thread cutter also allows you to cut threads conveniently at the end of a seam.
The machine features two spool holders, providing additional flexibility when managing your threads.
Bright LED Lighting
With 16 LED lights, the S-590 provides excellent illumination around the sewing area.
The well-lit workspace makes it easier to see your fabric, stitches and needle area, particularly when working on detailed projects.
BERNINA Hook System & Jumbo Bobbin
The BERNINA S-590 uses the BERNINA hook system and features a Jumbo Bobbin with 70% more capacity.
The increased bobbin capacity means you can spend more time sewing and less time stopping to replace your bobbin.
The machine also allows bobbin winding while sewing or embroidering, providing additional convenience when working on longer projects.
Retractable Feed Dog
The retractable feed dog makes it easy to switch between conventional sewing and techniques where you need greater control over fabric movement.
This is particularly useful for free-motion work, quilting and other specialised sewing techniques.
Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure
The adjustable presser foot pressure allows you to adapt the machine to different fabrics and sewing requirements.
This provides greater control when working with lightweight, delicate or more challenging materials.
