Bernina: Bega

About

BERNINA products are used by quality and design conscious users worldwide for textile work, sewing, embroidery and quilting, as well as for felting and tailoring. Innovation has been BERNINA's policy since day one. Karl Friedrich Gegauf invented the first hemstitch sewing machine at the end of the 19th century. This special sewing machine caused a major sensation, as hemastitches had always been sewn by hand. In 1932, the first household sewing machine with the name BERNINA left the Steckborn factory.
