Detailed Description

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.

Creative Projects You Can Complete

Use bernette b68 for flexible coverstitch finishing on suitable knit and woven fabrics. Select a stitch configuration supported by this model and test needle, thread, and tension settings on a scrap first.

  • Hem T-shirts and jersey dresses with a coverstitch finish that allows the fabric to stretch.
  • Topstitch seam allowances on knit garments for a neat finish, choosing thread and needles appropriate to the fabric.
  • Finish neckline or armhole binding with a compatible binder attachment when available; optional attachments and extra supplies may be required.
  • Use the supported overlock configuration to join and finish seams, then change to the model’s coverstitch configuration for hems. Follow the manual for rethreading; coverstitch is distinct from serger flatlock and industrial flatseaming.

Super Large Slide-on Table • Knee Lifter
Micro Thread Control

Automatic Air Threader

Threading the looper has never been easier and quicker thanks to the automatic air threader. The looper can be threaded with a simple push of a button.

Bright and Spacious Work Area

The well-lit workspace of the bernette b68 AIRLOCK eases sewing as well as threading of the looper and needles. The 5 LED lights facilitate precise and accurate work. The 130mm space right of the needle gives coverstitching another dimension. The large working area is ideal for leading and catching heavy sewing projects in front and behind the needle and gives you the space for all tasks in the needle and looper area.

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. This allows the fabric to glide smoothly over the large rounded working area. The matching coverstitch insert additionally extends the sewing area and closes perfectly with the slide-on-table.

Knee Lifter

Use the included knee lifter to position the fabric comfortably under the preser foot with both hands. Simply push the knee lifter to the right with your knee and the presser foot is lowered or temporarily raised.

Micro Thread Control

The Micro Thread Control 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.
