Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a coverstitch machine and a regular serger?

A coverstitch machine like the bernette 42 FUNLOCK creates the professional double-needle topstitching and chain stitch you see on the hems and seams of ready-to-wear knit garments. Unlike a traditional serger that trims and finishes seam edges, a coverstitch machine specializes in decorative topstitching and hemming with a stretchable finish. This machine does not perform overlocking functions—it is dedicated solely to coverstitch and chain stitch applications.

What skill level is required to use the bernette 42 FUNLOCK?

This machine is best suited for intermediate to advanced sewists who already have experience with knit fabrics and may have used a traditional serger. While the color-coded threading guides and built-in threaders make setup easier than many coverstitch machines, understanding thread tension and specialty stitching techniques will help you achieve the best results.

What accessories are included with the bonus package?

The bernette 42 FUNLOCK comes with a bonus package that includes four packs of Schmetz serger needles in two different sizes, providing you with the right needles to start stitching immediately on a variety of knit fabrics.

Can I use this machine on woven fabrics?

While the bernette 42 FUNLOCK can technically stitch on woven fabrics, it is specifically designed and optimized for knit and stretch fabrics. The coverstitch and chain stitch functions provide the stretch and flexibility needed for activewear, T-shirts, and other knit garments. For best results on wovens, a traditional sewing machine or serger would be more appropriate.

Does this machine come with a warranty?

Yes, the bernette 42 FUNLOCK is backed by a comprehensive 10-year mechanical parts, 2-year circuit board, 2-year electrical, and 1-year labor warranty. As an authorized bernette dealer, OSP Machines also provides free support for the life of your machine to help you get the most out of your investment.
