Enjoy Complete Control Over Your Stitches
- Individually adjustable settings for Total Stitch Control
- Perfect for working with various fabrics and threads in any combination
- Fully adjustable differential feed
The L 850 offers several settings for Total Stitch Control - all individually adjustable. The best part? You can change all of these settings while sewing - including the thread tension, cutting width, stitch length and Micro Thread Control (mtc).
Get One Step Ahead with the BERNINA Air Threader
The Bernina Air Threader is one of this overlocker’s most attractive features. It enables threads to move through the machine in just one step. Press the foot control and the loopers are automatically positioned correctly – there’s no need to take your hands off your fabric!
Save Time with Automatic Functions
The automatic needle stop-up function and the integrated needle threader allow sewists to enjoy a straightforward threading experience. Changing from an overlock seam to a different seam or hem will come as second nature since the thread stays within the same threading path.
