Key Specifications

Key Features

1. mtc (Micro Thread Control) System
The patented mtc system is a technical highlight that allows for precise adjustment of the over-edge thread length with a simple turn of the control dial. This provides optimal thread control and perfect sewing results, regardless of the stitch or material being used .

2. Swing-Out Upper-Knife Arm
The upper-knife arm can be swung out laterally to provide more workspace. This is particularly useful when you don't need to trim the fabric edge or when working in coverstitch mode, giving you more room for your project .

3. LCD Screen
The LCD screen keeps all important stitch parameters in view at all times. It displays the recommended tension for your chosen stitch and allows you to save your own individual tension settings, which remain available even when you switch between stitches .

4. Automatic Safety Switch
A safety switch is automatically activated if the looper cover or free-arm cover is opened. This prevents accidental operation of the machine, ensuring greater safety during threading and changing threads .

5. Convenience Features for Smooth Sewing

• Rolled-Hem Lever: Allows you to switch to a rolled hem stitch and back effortlessly without changing the stitch plate or presser foot .

• Automatic Needle Threader: Aids in threading the needles quickly and easily .

• Swing-Out Presser Foot: The presser foot can swing out to provide better access for threading .

• Handwheel Position Indicator: Helps you find the correct needle and looper position for changing needles or threading .

• Integrated Accessory Storage: The most important accessories are neatly stored in the looper door for easy access .

6. Front Foot Lift for Bulky Projects
The patented BERNINA Front Foot Lift provides an additional lift to the tip of the presser foot. This makes it easy to position and guide bulky projects, multiple layers of fabric, or materials like fleece without squeezing them under the foot .

• Overlock Stitches: 2, 3, 4, and 5-thread overlock stitches for seaming and finishing .

• Cover Stitch: For a professional finish on hems for knit and stretch fabrics .
