The most highly prized sewing machines today carry the name Bernina. The quality, features, and capabilities of the Bernina sewing machine far exceed those of other sewing machines. As a family owned and operated company for over 75 years, Bernina of Switzerland has established an impeccable reputation for quality. Today Bernina continues to enjoy the finest engineering and craftsmanship available anywhere. Each machine is hand assembled and thoroughly tested before shipping.
Since Berninas are the optimum, they require specialized knowledge and skills to properly service them. A good technician for other brands, may well be lost when it comes to repairing a Bernina. It is essential that you permit only Bernina experts who are fully certified technicians to care for your Bernina.
Where can you get Bernina Sewing Machine Repair?
The only place to find Bernina Sewing Machine Repair is at a certified Bernina Sewing Machine Dealer. Check your yellow pages.
You will find Bernina sewing machines sold and serviced in either your local authorized dealer or in Hancock Fabric Super Stores. Over six hundred independent Authorized Bernina Dealers serve the United States, mostly from larger cities. A handful of Bernina Corporate stores are situated inside Hancock Fabric Super Stores. In either case, you will find helpful sales, support, and service from Bernina experts.
If you live in an area where no local service centers are available, you can package your sewing machine. Ship it to the National Bernina Sewing Machine Repair Center in Aurora, Illinois. Here certified Bernina Sewing Machine Repair Technicians provide you the skilled technical services you want and need. Unfortunately, this choice does get expensive and often takes longer than your local shop when available.
Can I do my own Bernina Sewing Machine Repair?
Of course. Once you master the basics of sewing machine repair, it is very possible. You will also need access to parts, and it is wise to find a certified Bernina technician to mentor and assist when needed.

Some dealers will offer periodic introductory classes to basic Bernina service as well.
As a consumer, you would purchase any repair parts directly from your retail dealership or corporate store. If you became an authorized dealer yourself, you could then purchase at wholesale.
Is it possible to open my own Bernina store? Yes. Depending on the availability of territory and your qualifications, it is possible. Berninas requirements are pretty hefty. You must submit and have a detailed business plan approved by Bernina. The dealer purchase price runs about $40,000. The Bernina New Dealer Training Program must also be completed.
