Source: shop.bernina.com.au (verified 2026-08-01) · corroborated by worldweidner.com. berninausa.com and shop.berninausa.com blocked automated fetching (403/429 on repeated attempts), so bernina.com's Australian storefront (an official Bernina-owned domain) and the worldweidner.com authorized-dealer page were used instead; both agree on the core specs. 400x150mm/15.7x5.9in embroidery area, 275 built-in designs + 8 alphabets, 1774 total stitch patterns, 1000 spm, and 4.3in color touchscreen confirmed on worldweidner.com; hoop and included-accessory detail from shop.bernina.com.au. USB set true from general knowledge of the Bernina 5 Series' standard USB-stick design-transfer port (not explicitly re-stated on either fetched page); wifi_transfer set false since the 5 Series (unlike Bernina's 7/8 Series) has no documented wireless feature on either source.
