You won't be left in the dark thanks to the four LEDs that illuminate the sewing area with a 230 mm space to the right of the needle. The extension table with free arm gives you more space and greater comfort for large quilting and sewing projects.

Decorative and quilting stitches to add unique details

Of course, with the b79, you can hem and zigzag seams, sew stretch t-shirts, and even choose from 17 different buttonholes. And it's not just functional stitches: create truly interesting details with 133 decorative stitches and 35 quilting stitches. Want to modify standard stitches or create new ones? It's all possible with the Stitch Designer function. Individual stitch settings are temporarily stored and you can save them in your memory for future projects.

Automatic thread cutter and stitch lock function

Thanks to the automatic stitch lock function, you no longer have to sew backwards to prevent the seam from unraveling. Simply press the stitch lock button at the end of the seam . Then press the automatic thread cutter button, the threads are cut and the seam is finished! Want to do it even faster? Program these functions for your foot control with back-kick function – press the pedal once, the seam is automatically finished and the threads are cut!

Sewing in a more practical way

With the semi-automatic needle threader, threading the needle will be a breeze: the presser foot is automatically lowered to the correct position and the additional thread cutter holds the thread in place. The knee lifter for raising or lowering the presser foot makes sewing even more comfortable, as your hands are free to guide the fabric.
