Description
The Overlock/Coverstitch Combo machine with easy air threading
Free bonus below includes 13 feet, 8 large spools of serger thread, 20 needles and a guide book!
The bernette 68 is a combo machine with overlock, cover-, chain- and combo stitches. Its many strengths include an air threader for easy threading of looper threads, 5" (130 mm) of space to the right of the needle for comfortable sewing of large projects – especially for coverstitching, an integrated freearm for sewing cuffs, the bright illumination of the sewing area with 5 LEDs, and the Knee lifter for lowering and temporarily raising the presser foot. 31 different stitches leave nothing to be desired.

- 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-thread stitches
- Spacious working area (5"/130 mm)
- Large slide-on table
- 5 LED lights for best visibility

- Micro Thread Control (mtc)
- Knee lifter
- Large cut-offs bin included
Automatic air threader
Threading the looper has never been easier and quicker thanks to the color-coded threading paths. Thread each looper separately or both together with one simple push.
5 LEDs in the needle and working area
The well-lit workspace of the bernette 68 AIRLOCK eases sewing as well as threading of loopers and needles. The 5 LED lights faciliate precise and accurate work.
Micro Thread Control (mtc)
Used for the first time on a bernette machine, the mtc Micro Thread Control (mtc) saves you significant time and effort while ensuring consistent high-quality stitches, since you need only set thread tension once – even if you alter the cutting width and fabric thickness!
Lots of space thanks to the large working area (130 mm)
The 130 mm space right of the needle gives overlocking another dimension. The large working area is ideal for leading and catching heavy sewing projects behind the needle and gives you the space for all tasks in the needle and looper area: changing the presser foot, attaching upper looper converter and much more.
Freearm
Sewing tubular projects such as cuffs, legs and necklines will be easy thanks to the freearm.
Super-large slide-on table
The easy-to-attach and included slide-on table makes sewing and fabric guiding even more comfortable, especially for large sewing projects. The fabric will glide smoothly over the rounded shaped table.
Free Hand System (FHS)
With the included knee lifter, your hands remain free to comfortably position the fabric under the presser foot. Furthermore, you can easily lift the presser foot with your knee by pushing the lifter to the right.
