Ultra precise. Ultra creative. Ultra innovative. The BERNINA B 790 ULTRA is the new pinnacle of the BERNINA 7 Series — and it's a machine that doesn't just raise the bar, it redefines what's possible at your sewing table.
Built on the foundation of the 790 PRO and elevated with a suite of entirely new innovations, the 790 ULTRA is designed for quilters, garment sewists, and embroidery enthusiasts who want every capability in one extraordinary machine — and want it to work exactly as they imagine it.
NEW: BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator (BISR)
The most significant quilting innovation on the 790 ULTRA. Unlike the traditional BSR foot, the BISR is fully integrated into the machine — ensuring perfectly even stitch lengths across all quilting applications, including ruler work, in every BSR mode. Compatible with all BERNINA quilting presser feet right out of the box.
NEW: Stitch Plate Recognition
The 790 ULTRA automatically recognizes which stitch plate is installed and adjusts accordingly. Comes with three sensor stitch plates: the 9mm Standard Stitch Plate, the Straight Stitch Plate, and the BISR/5.5mm Stitch Plate — each with built-in sensors for seamless recognition.
NEW: Jumbo Stitch
Enlarge any stitch up to 500% for striking decorative effects. A creative capability that opens entirely new possibilities for surface design, texture, and statement stitching.
NEW: Help Center
Expert guidance right where you need it — instant access to the User Manual, Quick Start Guide, and Creative Consultant from the machine's touchscreen. Scan a QR code to follow tutorials on your smartphone or tablet while you sew.
NEW: Ultra Precise Placement — 3-Point, 2-Point & 4-Point with Morphing
The 790 ULTRA adds 3-Point Placement to the existing 2-Point and 4-Point Placement options, giving you three distinct ways to position embroidery and quilting designs with absolute precision. The Morphing function stretches or compresses designs to fit irregular boundaries.
NEW: Computerized Quilting — Crop, Connect, Start/Stop Editing & BQM Save
The 790 ULTRA takes BQM quilting further than any previous BERNINA machine:
- Crop — trim quilt designs along a freely adjustable line or to match your hoop
- Connect — merge multiple quilt designs into one unified pattern using connection stitches
- Start/Stop Editing — visualize and adjust start and stop points, flip positions, and chain designs seamlessly
- Save as BQM — save your computerized quilting projects to your personal folder for future use
- Embroider Sewing Stitches in BQM Format — integrate decorative stitches directly into computerized quilting projects
BERNINA Integrated Stitch Regulator (BISR) + BSR Foot #42 Compatible
Two stitch regulation systems in one machine — use the fully integrated BISR with any quilting foot, or attach the BSR #42 foot for traditional BSR sewing.
stitchprecision2 Technology
Quieter, more precise, and more joyful — the 790 ULTRA runs on the same next-generation stitchprecision2 platform as the 790 PRO, delivering Swiss-precision stitch quality across every application.
BERNINA Pinpoint Laser
See exactly where the needle will enter the fabric before it does. The Pinpoint Laser marks your start and travel points as you sew and embroider.
Embroidery Module L with Smart Drive Technology (SDT) — Included
The high-end embroidery module comes standard, delivering an extra-large embroidery area of 15.7" x 8.3", enhanced stitch quality, and smoother, quieter movement.
WiFi + BERNINA Stitchout App
Transfer designs wirelessly from BERNINA Embroidery Software 9. Monitor your embroidery remotely — thread changes, color stops, and completion notifications sent directly to your phone.
BERNINA Dual Feed
Built in and always ready. Tames difficult fabrics and multiple layers, and tucks completely out of the way when not needed.
Stitch Designer + Shape Designer + Color Wheel
Draw original stitches on the touchscreen, replicate and arrange designs in any shape, and coordinate thread colors on screen before you stitch.
