We are Make ma, certified BERNINA specialist dealer in Hamburg and specialized in high-quality sewing machines, embroidery machines, and overlock machines. In our store in Alstertal, we advise beginners as well as experienced hobby sewers, quilters, and embroidery enthusiasts. We combine sound technical knowledge with practical experience and personal, honest advice.
Our goal is to work with you to find the machine that truly suits your projects, your requirements, and your way of working. This doesn't automatically mean the most expensive model. The decisive factors are which functions you actually need, which materials you want to process, and what you want to achieve with your new machine in the long term.
As your contact for BERNINA in Hamburg, we support you not only in selecting a new machine. We also assist you with questions about operation, accessories, and your projects after your purchase.
Our shop is located in Hummelsbüttel and has plenty of parking spaces in the yard.
Personal BERNINA Consultation in Hamburg
A sewing machine cannot be judged solely by its list of functions. How well a model can be operated is revealed during testing. Is the user interface clear? Does sewing feel right? You'll only notice this when you test it yourself.
In our Hamburg store, you can view, compare, and test various BERNINA models yourself. We will clearly explain the differences between the machines and which functions are truly useful in which situations.
Our consultation takes into account, among other things:
- your previous experience,
- the nature of your sewing, embroidery, or quilting projects,
- the materials you use,
- desired comfort functions,
- your space requirements,
- your personal budget.
Sometimes a more compact model already meets all requirements. In other cases, a larger machine is worthwhile because certain functions open up entirely new horizons. Our recommendations are therefore always based on your individual needs and wishes.
Certified BERNINA specialist dealer with an experienced team
As a certified BERNINA specialist dealer in Hamburg, we deal with sewing machines, embroidery machines, and overlock machines daily. Our team consists of experts with different specialties and extensive experience. Machine embroidery is also our personal passion.
Attention and a friendly approach are just as important to us as technical expertise. You should feel comfortable asking us your questions. No matter if you are a sewing novice or working on demanding projects.
We are particularly grateful for the appreciation shown to us by our customers. Our Google ratings are a solid 5.0 stars (as of summer 2026). This feedback confirms our commitment to continue combining personal consultation, reliable service, and professional expertise.
I don't think I've ever been advised as thoroughly and kindly as by Mark. After a phone call, we found the best solution for me (nothing was pushed on me, but they really looked at what I needed) and he continues to assist me with my many questions.
A Hamburg company with 100 years of history
In 2025, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of our company. The company was founded in 1925 and thus looks back on an exceptionally long and stable company history.
Originally, the company was an electrical wholesaler. We, Marit and Mark, gave the company a new direction. We specialized in retail for sewing, embroidery, and overlock machines. Some know us from our YouTube channel, where we have been giving tips and tricks for ten years.
The industry has changed, but our standard has remained: We focus on quality, reliability, and long-term relationships with our customers. The traditional company has now evolved into a modern specialist dealer with a team of experienced experts.
Rely on Quality and Reliability with BERNINA
BERNINA is one of the most renowned brands for high-quality sewing, embroidery, and overlock machines. The machines stand for precision, well-thought-out functions, and a construction designed for long-term use.
Robust and high-quality materials are used at many critical points. Metal components provide stability and longevity where less resilient plastic parts might wear out more quickly. At the same time, the machines are designed to be professionally maintained and preserved in the long term.
Especially for a machine that should accompany you for many years, careful selection is important. That's why you can try out different BERNINA models, compare them, and see for yourself here in Hamburg.
Which BERNINA suits you?
Not everyone needs the same machine. Some are looking for a reliable entry-level model. Others want to process large quilts, make their own wardrobe, or combine sewing and embroidery in one machine.
We'll talk to you about what you want to achieve today and what projects might be interesting in the future. This way, we avoid both a machine whose capabilities are insufficient and a model with features you'll likely never use.
