Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a coverstitch machine and a regular serger?
- A coverstitch machine creates the professional double-needle topstitch you see on ready-to-wear knit garments, with a chain stitch on the reverse side. Unlike a serger that trims and overcasts edges, a coverstitch machine is used for hemming and decorative topstitching on knits. The bernette 62 AIRLOCK is a dedicated coverstitch machine that also offers chainstitch capabilities.
- How does the automatic air threading system work?
- The bernette 62 AIRLOCK uses air pressure to thread the looper automatically. You simply place the thread in the designated position, press the air threading button, and the machine pulls the thread through the looper path. This eliminates the most challenging part of coverstitch setup and saves significant time.
- What accessories and presser feet are included with this bonus package?
- This is a bonus package that includes additional accessories beyond the standard bernette 62 AIRLOCK bundle. Contact OSP Machines directly for the complete list of bonus items included with your purchase, as bonus packages may vary.
- Is this machine suitable for beginners?
- The bernette 62 AIRLOCK is best suited for intermediate to advanced sewists who already have experience with basic sewing and are ready to expand into professional garment finishing. While the air threading system makes it more accessible than traditional coverstitch machines, some familiarity with specialty machines is helpful.
- Can this machine be used for regular serging or seaming?
- No, the bernette 62 AIRLOCK is a dedicated coverstitch and chainstitch machine. It does not perform overlock serging or edge finishing. For those functions, you would need a separate serger. This machine is designed specifically for hemming knits, creating decorative topstitching, and finishing garments with professional coverstitch techniques.
