Overlock (Serger) BERNINA L660
Overlock (Serger) with air threading BERNINA L660
“The most intuitive Overlocker in the World” that will delight all types of sewists, whether they are seasoned professionals or ambitious beginners embarking on their overlocker 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.
