Spread Out with a Generous Workspace
The Bernina L890 overlocker offers a generous 143mm of space to the right of the needle, providing excellent maneuverability for larger projects like quilts and garments with wide hems. This spacious design allows fabric to move smoothly through the machine, reducing the risk of bunching and helping achieve professional-quality finishes.
It also features a convenient free arm, ideal for sewing cylindrical items like sleeves, cuffs, and pant legs. This makes it easier to overlock tricky areas with clean, precise seams.
With this overlocker, you can enjoy more space than any other Bernina overlocker or serger model, enabling you to tackle large projects easily. If you still need more space to work, simply add the included extension table!
Embrace Bernina L890 Innovation with the Colour Touchscreen
This 4.3” colour touchscreen is like having a sewing assistant right at your fingertips, thoughtfully positioned in the centre of the machine for quick and easy access while you work. From this intuitive interface, you can explore a host of innovative features designed to enhance your sewing experience, including the Stitch Optimiser, Sewing Consultant, and a library of step-by-step animations and tutorials to guide you through techniques or machine functions.
No matter your skill level, the screen offers a choice between Expert Mode and Guided Mode, allowing you to work the way that suits you best. In Guided Mode, the machine assists by automatically adjusting settings like stitch tension, length, and stitch selection based on your fabric and project, helping to eliminate guesswork. Expert Mode gives more freedom for advanced users to fine-tune their settings manually. This versatile digital control hub ensures a smoother, more efficient sewing process—helping you sew smarter, not harder.
Get One Step Ahead with the Bernina Air Threader
One great feature of the Bernina L890 Overlocker is its Bernina Air Threader. This tool makes threading much easier. With just a single hands-free step, threads are guided through the machine—eliminating the need for tedious manual threading.
For added convenience, the loopers are automatically positioned using the foot control, removing the frustration of aligning them manually. This combination of air threading and automatic looper positioning makes the L890 incredibly user-friendly.
Total Stitch Control
The Bernina L890 offers great precision and personalisation. It is a perfect choice for sewists who want strength and flexibility. This advanced overlocker lets you save up to 100 custom stitches in your Personal Memory. This way, your favourite settings are always easy to find.
With the Bernina L890, you can adjust important functions like stitch length, differential feed, thread tension, and cutting width. You can make these changes even while sewing, giving you control over every detail. The Micro Thread Control (mtc) feature lets you easily change the overedge thread amount with a simple twist. This ensures perfect results on any type of fabric.
You can adjust the needle stop to stay up or down. This change helps with precision and makes it easier to pivot and turn. The Bernina L890 helps you create with confidence. It is useful for refining patterns or switching tasks.
