Frequently Asked Questions
- What's included with this used bernette 42 FUNLOCK?
- This machine includes all original accessories that came with it new, plus the original packaging. It has been inspected and certified by our technicians to ensure it functions like new.
- What's the difference between a coverstitch machine and a serger?
- A coverstitch machine creates the parallel rows of topstitching you see on t-shirt hems and activewear, while a serger trims and finishes raw edges. The bernette 42 FUNLOCK is dedicated to coverstitching and chainstitching only—it does not cut fabric or create overlock seams like a traditional serger.
- Do I need serger experience to use this machine?
- While some sewing experience is helpful, the bernette 42 FUNLOCK is easier to thread than most sergers thanks to color-coded guides, a needle threader, and a lower looper threading mechanism. Intermediate sewists who are comfortable learning new techniques will find this machine approachable.
- Can this machine sew regular seams like a sewing machine?
- No, the bernette 42 FUNLOCK is a specialized coverstitch machine designed specifically for hemming and topstitching knit fabrics. You'll need a regular sewing machine or serger for constructing seams and finishing edges.
- Does the used condition affect the warranty?
- No, this machine is backed by the full bernette manufacturer warranty: 10 years on mechanical parts, 2 years on the circuit board and electrical components, and 1 year on labor. As an authorized dealer, OSP Machines also provides free support for the life of the machine.
