Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between overlock and coverstitch functions?
- Overlock stitches trim, seam, and finish fabric edges in one step, perfect for seams and preventing fraying. Coverstitch creates professional hems and decorative topstitching like those found on ready-to-wear t-shirts and knit garments. The bernette 48 FUNLOCK performs both functions, giving you complete garment finishing capability.
- Is this machine suitable for beginners?
- Yes, the bernette 48 FUNLOCK is designed with beginner-friendly features including color-coded threading paths, built-in needle and looper threaders, and clear operation. While sergers and coverstitch machines have a learning curve, these features make the bernette 48 FUNLOCK accessible to sewists new to overlocking and coverstitching.
- What accessories are included with this machine?
- This machine includes a free bonus of 2 packs of Schmetz Serger Needles size 12/80 and 2 packs of Schmetz Serger Needles size 14/90. Standard accessories that come with the machine vary; contact OSP Machines for a complete list of included presser feet and attachments.
- Can I use regular sewing machine thread on this serger?
- While the bernette 48 FUNLOCK can use regular sewing thread, serger-specific thread or cone thread is recommended for best results. Serger thread is typically finer and wound on larger cones or spools, which feeds more smoothly at the high speeds sergers operate.
- What is covered under the warranty?
- bernette provides a 10-year warranty on mechanical parts, 2 years on the circuit board, 2 years on electrical components, and 1 year on labor. As an authorized bernette dealer, OSP Machines also provides free support for the life of your machine to help you get the most from your investment.
