Bernina L850 Overlocker Save £250 Plus Free Trolley Bag Product review

Overlockers might seem like they’re a dime a dozen.

They can be difficult to thread and therefore use, so says so many that have tried before you. But that’s not quite true, is it? Lucky for you, there’s the Bernina L850 Overlocker new to the market!

This machine is great for all skill levels but is especially valuable to those who have a bit more experience under their belt. Bernina overlockers are essential for anyone who sews clothes or home décor, and can be useful to other makers, too! Overlocking stitches are great for adding structure and security to your seams so that they hold up longer over time.

You’ll love the versatility of this Bernina overlocker, too. It comes with 18 different stitch variations. And each stitch variation is customisable by length and width, depending on what you need for whatever project you’re working on. That includes rolled hems, picot stitches, and plenty of overlock stitches!

Are you dreading threading your brand-new overlocker? Don’t worry about that usually difficult part of setting up this beauty of a machine. First of all, it has a built-in needle threader. You don’t need to squint and strain your fingers trying to get your thread through the eye of the needle. And the tension dials are colour coded so that you can make sure your threads are in the proper spots while threading.

Did we mention that this machine is also equipped with air threading? Because it is! Loopers are the most intimidating part of threading an overlocker machine, but with air threading, you don’t need to worry about going deep into the machine in order to thread it properly.

If you’re particularly skilled with overlockers or your projects are so large that you need to keep your hands on the project, you’re going to love the Bernina Hands-Free System that comes with this machine! With a hands-free system, you’ll be able to plug a knee lift lever into the front of the machine. This lever will hang below your sewing table and rest at knee-level so that any time you want to raise or lower the presser foot all you need to do is bump the lever with your knee! It’s truly that simple!

Anyone who likes to make smaller garments or wants to be able to finish off those sleeves and cuffs will really appreciate having a free arm on their overlocker. This feature isn’t always included on overlockers, especially those that are lower cost. But the Bernina L850 Overlocker has a free arm so that you can work on smaller or circular seams that need that extra small area to move through.

Let’s also talk about safety! With the Bernina L850 Overlocker, you’ll be able to easily engage and disengage the knife from the side of the machine. That means you can make sure it’s out of the way before you begin stitching something that doesn’t require cutting away the excess.

And this overlocker is fast, too! This machine stitches at 1500 stitches per minute! That’s extra fast so that you’ll be able to finish your projects at breakneck speeds.

Let’s take a quick look at all of the accessories that come standard with the Bernina L850 Overlocker when you purchase it from the Sewing Studio.

  • Standard foot
  • Torx T10 screwdriver
