Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the bonus package with the bernette 62 AIRLOCK?

This machine includes a Tutto Serger Trolley for storage and portability, 16 spools of Mettler Seracord serger thread in four colors (white, ash mist, black, and muslin), and four packs of Schmetz serger needles in sizes 12/80 and 14/90. The total bonus package value exceeds $300.

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

A coverstitch machine creates professional hems and topstitching with parallel rows of stitching on the right side and a looper thread on the wrong side, commonly seen on t-shirt hems and activewear. Unlike a traditional serger that trims and finishes seam edges, a coverstitch machine does not have cutting blades and is specifically designed for hemming and decorative stitching on knit fabrics.

Is the bernette 62 AIRLOCK suitable for beginners?

The bernette 62 AIRLOCK is best suited for intermediate to advanced sewists who are already comfortable with basic sewing techniques and want to add professional finishing capabilities. While the automatic air threading system makes setup easier than traditional coverstitchers, coverstitch machines require some experience to operate effectively. Beginners may want to start with a standard sewing machine or serger before investing in a specialized coverstitch machine.

How does the automatic air threading system work?

The bernette 62 AIRLOCK features an innovative air threading system that uses a burst of air to guide the thread through the looper, eliminating the tedious and often frustrating manual threading process. Color-coded guides help you follow the correct threading path, and the air mechanism completes the looper threading quickly and accurately, saving time and reducing setup errors.

Can this machine replace both a serger and a regular sewing machine?

No, the bernette 62 AIRLOCK is a specialized coverstitch and chainstitch machine designed to complement your existing sewing equipment. It does not have cutting blades like a traditional serger, nor does it perform standard straight or zigzag stitches like a regular sewing machine. This machine excels at creating professional hems, topstitching, and decorative chainstitching on knit fabrics, and works best as part of a complete sewing setup.
