Bright and spacious, for fast and accurate sewing

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 additional free-arm top gives you more space and more comfort for large quilting and sewing projects.

Decorative and quilting stitches to add unique details

With the b79 you can hem and sew zig-zag stitches, sew shirts in stretch fabrics, and even choose from 17 different buttonholes. And there's more than just function stitches: create really interesting details with 133 decorative stitches and 35 quilting stitches. You can edit or create new stitches with the "Stitch Designer" function. Individual stitch settings are stored temporarily, and you can save them in your memory for future projects.

Automatic thread cutter and stitch stop function

Thanks to the automatic stitch stop function, you no longer have to perform backward stitching to prevent the seam from unraveling. You just need to press the stitch stop button at the end of the seam. Then press the automatic thread cutter button, the threads are cut, and the stitching is finished! You can program these functions for your pedal with back-kick function: press the pedal once, the stitching is automatically finished and the threads cut!

Sew comfortably

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 toggle to raise or lower the presser foot will make your sewing more comfortable as your hands are free to guide the fabric. With the built-in Dual Transport, which is easy to activate, materials of all kinds are transported evenly from the top and bottom.

Embroidery module with three frames of different sizes and frame recognition

With the three frames provided, it is easy to find the right frame for the size of your embroidery. You can do embroideries up to 260 x 160 mm without re-stitching the fabric. The frames open and close easily thanks to the quick release system. The automatic hoop recognition function allows you to see the default embroidery area of each hoop on the touchscreen to enable you to tailor the embroidery motif to perfection.
