Bernina 700 Embroidery Only Machine
When your work demands more than your machine can deliver — when you're piecing together 14" designs across hoopings, babysitting thread tension on a 45-minute run, or wrestling file formats that your digitizing software speaks but your machine refuses to hear — the Bernina 700E exists to end those compromises.
Built as an embroidery-only machine, the 700E makes no concessions to versatility. Every engineering decision serves one discipline: flawless stitching, every time. The 15.7" x 8.3" embroidery field is among the largest available at any price point, letting you execute full back panels, oversized jacket designs, and large-format commercial work in a single hooping. The jumbo bobbin carries 70% more thread than standard, which means fewer stops on long production runs and more minutes per hour actually stitching. At 1,000 stitches per minute, that efficiency compounds quickly across a full workday.
Pinpoint Placement uses two-point alignment to position designs with the kind of accuracy that separates professional output from close-enough. Adaptive thread tension monitors and self-corrects in real time. Smart Secure automatically ties on and off so you're not going back to clean up loose ends. Native support for eight file formats — EXP, DST, PES, PEC, JEF, PCS, SEW, and XXX — means your entire design library is ready to run without conversion headaches.
SewingMachinesPlus has been an authorized Bernina dealer for over 50 years — with 0% financing available on a machine at this level, that expertise and that relationship are worth as much as anything in the box.

If embroidery is your passion and you want a machine that’s built specifically for it, the Bernina B700E is a standout. This package includes a brand-new machine plus Bernina Embroidery Creator Software 9, which really unlocks its full potential.
The B700E is a dedicated embroidery-only machine, and that focus shows the moment you start stitching. The large embroidery field gives you the freedom to work on bigger designs with fewer re-hoopings—perfect for quilts, jackets, bags, and detailed home décor. Stitch quality is exactly what you expect from Bernina: clean, precise, and beautifully consistent, even on dense or intricate designs.
Design editing is intuitive and powerful right on the machine. You can resize, rotate, mirror, and combine designs, and Pinpoint Placement makes it easy to position embroidery exactly where you want it. This is a huge time-saver and stress-reducer for anyone who’s picky about placement (and let’s be honest, most embroiderers are).
Optional Bernina Embroidery Software V9 takes this setup to the next level. V9 provides advanced design editing, lettering, and customization tools, making it easy to personalize projects or create original designs. It pairs perfectly with the B700E and is ideal for both passionate hobbyists and small embroidery businesses.
Other features embroiderers love:
- Generous built-in design and font library
- Jumbo bobbin for longer stitch-outs with fewer interruptions
- Smooth, quiet operation with solid Bernina build quality
- Designed for serious embroidery without compromise
This combination is ideal for:
- Dedicated embroidery enthusiasts

- Small business or side-hustle embroidery
- Anyone upgrading from a smaller or entry-level embroidery machine
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to invest in a premium embroidery setup, a brand-new Bernina B700E is a fantastic place to land. It’s a machine you can grow into—and one you’ll enjoy every time you sit down to stitch.
