Combined overlockcoverstitch machine with automatic air threader
This is the bernette b68 AIRLOCK: A combo machine that lets you sew overlock, coverstitch, chainstitch and combination stitches. Its strengths include an air threader for easy threading of hook threads, 130 mm of space to the right of the needle for comfortable sewing of large projects - especially for coverstitch- applications, an integrated free arm for sewing cuffs, 5 LEDs provide bright illumination of the sewing area and the knee lever for raising and lowering the presser foot. Total 31 different overlock, cover, chain and combo stitches are available.
Automatic air threader for looper threads
Threading the hook has never been easier or faster thanks to the air threader. With the simple push of a button, each looper can be threaded individually or together.
5 LEDs in the sewing area
The well-lit working area of the bernette b68 AIRLOCK makes sewing as well as threading the hook and needles easier. The 5 LEDs enable precise and accurate work.
mtc thread control
The mtc thread control saves you a lot of time and effort while ensuring consistently high stitch quality because you only have to adjust the thread tension once, even if you change the cutting width or fabric quantity.
Plenty of space thanks to the large working area (130 mm)
The 130 mm to the right of the needle adds a new dimension. The generous working area makes it easy to guide large sewing projects, and it also makes your needle and bobbin case tasks a whole lot easier: changing the presser foot, attaching the top bobbin cover, and many more.
Free arm
The b68 AIRLOCK features a free-arm to make it easier to sew round pieces, such as sleeves or pant legs.
Large slide-on table for large projects
Easy to attach and included, the slide-on table makes sewing and fabric guidance even more convenient, especially for large sewing projects. The fabric glides smoothly over the rounded table.
Free-hand system (FHS)
With the included knee lever, your hands remain free to comfortably position the fabric under the presser foot. You can also easily lift the presser foot with your knee by pressing the lever to the right.
