The touch screen of the machine broke down after 2.5 years of use and could not be repaired. Another customer concluded that the Bernette 79 is not meant for heavy fabrics and projects that involve several layers. However, the machine is capable of regular sewing, embroidery, and light sewing to some degree. The needle threader has a challenge with tight positions. Overall, the Bernette 79 has a learning curve, and it is essential to watch many videos to master it. Some customers have had a great experience, while others had a not so good experience. It is probably not a good backup machine alternative if you have specialized embroidery machines.
