Bernina Aurora 450
April 5, 2010 by admin
A main difference between the Bernina Aurora 450 and the others (430 and 440QE) is the Rotary hook system
The high-quality rotary hook system for stitch widths of up to 9mm lets you create gorgeous decorative stitches. The system is characterized by quiet running and reliable stitch quality, even at high speeds.
Basically the Bernina Aurora 450 is exactly the same machine as the other two models of Aurora, the 430 and 440QE, except for the BSR that is only found in the 440QE (Quilters Edition) and 450 and the rotary hook system only found in the Bernina Aurora 450. It has the same features like the well positioned speed regulator that allows you to adjust the Bernina aurora’s sewing speed to your task – slow for precise work, and faster for more general sewing. This function can also be used for the bobbin winding. The Bernina aurora 450 new separate bobbin winder is extremely practical, letting you fill empty bobbins without having to stop your sewing, embroidery or quilting work. Using the built-in one step buttonhole, you can create buttonholes very easily.
The Bernina Aurora 450 has another useful accessory, the extension table,which offers you a larger working area just by attaching it to the free arm. The aurora comes with bobbins and presser feet (6 / 9), a range of tools and maintenance accessories which are supplied as standard. But you can also by an extra accessories box which could be attached to the back of the aurora for an easier transport. The stitch selection in the Bernina Aurora 450 is the same as the 440 QE and the 430 models. Just by pressing the buttons to select the stitch numbers or by pressing the scroll buttons, the stitch numbers and the stitch symbols are always shown on the display which makes it very easy to use.
The presser foot pressure is display on-screen, so you can adjust the pressure for the different types of fabrics that you are using. You can always see displayed on screen the setting that you are using. Also in the display screen you can see a wide selection of stitches, in the form of a distinctive symbol on the screen. This is really useful with the scroll function.
Another fantastic feature of the Bernina Aurora sewing machines is the threading function, which makes it easy to pass the thread through the eye of the needle.
The adjustable needle position on the Bernina Aurora 450 Anniversary Edition allows for different end results. You can change the presser foot pressure with the built-in adjustments.
