BERNINA L 220 Product Information

The BERNINA L 220 is a compact, user-friendly specialist machine designed for cover and chain stitches using two or three needles . It is the ideal companion to a conventional sewing machine, perfect for giving garments a professional, ready-to-wear look, especially on stretch fabrics like knits and jerseys . Working at a speed of up to 1,300 stitches per minute allows sewing projects to be completed quickly and with minimal effort .

Key Features

• Automatic Looper Threader: This machine features a fuss-free, automatic chain looper threader. By simply flipping open the lid and pressing a lever, the L 220 virtually threads itself, making what is often the most challenging step of serger threading incredibly easy .

• Adjustable Differential Feed: The infinitely variable differential feed can be adjusted while sewing using a dial on the right-hand side of the machine. This feature is crucial for preventing puckering or waving on fine fabrics and knits, and can also be used to create a controlled gathering effect .

• Flat Joining Seam with Coverstitch: The 3-thread narrow coverstitch creates a perfectly flat, professional joining seam that is comfortable against the skin, making it ideal for T-shirts, sportswear, lingerie, and other garments made from stretch fabrics .

• Simple Hem with Coverstitch: This machine produces the precise 5mm or 2.5mm coverstitch widths most often seen in ready-to-wear clothing, ensuring your hems look professional .

• Elastic Application: The L 220 allows you to create a professional-looking, durable, and stretchy elasticized edge, perfect for sportswear and children's clothing .

• Color-Coded Threading: Clear, color-coded markings on the machine allow you to see at a glance how the threads should be positioned, simplifying the threading process for cover and chain stitches .
