Coverstitch BERNINA L620
Coverstitch BERNINA L620
“The most intuitive Coverstitch in the World” that will delight all types of sewists, whether they are seasoned professionals or ambitious beginners embarking on their sewing journey.
Incorporating many of the much-loved L 8 series features, the L 6 Series pushes innovation even further with a range of brand-new highlights for BERNINA’s overlocking community. And while we were able to reduce the machine size of the L 6 series significantly, it goes without saying that BERNINA remains uncompromising when it comes to comfort features like ample workspace to the right or the integrated needle threader.
Never worry about rethreading your L 6 Series. Its unmistakable threading paths do not require any specific sequence, while our renowned BERNINA One-Step Air Threader mechanism takes care of the rest for you.
But beyond the popular and proven, it’s the new features, such as a programmable needle stop in combination with our upgraded BERNINA Free Hand System that automatically lowers your feed dogs while lifting your presser foot, which make your sewing projects more pleasant and easy to create with the L 6 Series.
We have even added a slide speed controller and a dimmable light switch.
Updated machine visual design will complement any sewing studio.
Feature highlights:
- One-Step BERNINA Air Threader
- Lighting of the air threader
- Semi-automatic needle threader
- Programmable needle stop up/down
- 1200 stitches per minute with speed control
- Raising the presser foot and lowering the feed dogs using the knee lever (BERNINA Free Hand System FHS)
