BERNINA L850

Product information "BERNINA L850"

BERNINA L850 - Fast, precise and quiet

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Lufteinfaedler

One-Step BERNINA Air Threader

  • Guide thread through the machine by air
  • Automatically correct position of the hooks
  • Threading that is fun

When threading the two looper threads, both hands remain free to guide the threads, as the threads are guided through the machine by air in no time at all with a step on the foot pedal.

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Komfort

Comfortable sewing

  • Simply raise & lower the presser foot using the knee lever
  • Hands free to guide the fabric
  • Easy access to the needles thanks to the swing-out presser foot

With the BERNINA free-motion system (FHS), you can raise and lower the presser foot easily using the knee lever. The presser foot can also be swivelled out to the side for easy access to the needles.

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Stichkontrolle

Total stitch control for perfect seams

  • Process different fabrics & threads in any combination
  • Individual settings for total stitch control
  • Infinitely adjustable differential feed

The L 850 offers various settings for total stitch control - all individually adjustable. Best of all, you can make these adjustments while sewing, including setting the thread tension, stitch length, cutting width and mtc thread control.

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Geschwindigkeit

Extremely fast, precise & quiet

  • Sew up to 1500 stitches per minute
  • Powerful, constant performance & precision
  • Extremely smooth running

With the L 850, you not only sew extremely quickly, but also stitch by stitch. This makes it much easier to create precise lines and curves. All this with the smooth running that BERNINA has always been known for.

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Einfaedeln

Threading in a flash

  • Thanks to the integrated needle threader
  • Automatic needle stop
  • Colour-coded threading paths

With the integrated needle threader and the automatic needle stop at the top, you can thread your threads in no time at all. Changing from an overlock seam to a rolled hem or a flat seam is also child's play, without changing the threading path.

BERNINA-L850-Feature-Anschiebetisch

Generous sewing area

  • 14.3 cm space to the right of the needles
  • Push-on table included
  • Practical free arm

The L 850 gives you plenty of room for creativity, in the truest sense of the word. More space to the right of the needles and more clearance height than ever before on a BERNINA overlocker. Plus the practical free arm, where sleeves or cuffs can simply be slipped over.
