Bernina Artista 200E

Date Published: 6/17/08

Powered by the familiar Microsoft Windows computer program, the incredible Bernina Artista 200E sewing machine is truly a system for sewing and embroidering that will allow you to express your creativity for years to come.

The touch screen allows you to easily access all the features you'll need for quilting, garment sewing, home decor, crafts, and gorgeous embroidery. Spectacular embroidery designs can be downloaded directly into this machine if it is connected to a PC with Internet access.

For those without a computer, another option is the "My Artista" portal; this accessory is used along with a modem (optional) to connect the machine directly to the company's server without the need of a computer.

Still another option is to use the Artista CD-ROM drive to download designs from an included Design CD (with 50 designs) into the machine. And lastly, new embroidery software can always be purchased directly from your dealer.

As you can tell, the options with this system are vast and ensure that one way or another there is always convenient access to new and exciting embroidery designs. When you're not embroidering, you'll be sewing hassle-free with automatic features for thread tension, needle threading, and thread cutting.

Artista 200E's extensive stitch package and multidirectional sewing will also have you designing and creating plenty of sewing projects with ultimate ease. With so much to offer, you'll appreciate the on-screen help and tutorial materials that are provided.
