Pamela Mahshie, Overlock Machine Business Manager at BERNINA, takes the mystery out of this machine, which sews seams, trims away excess fabric, and finishes raw fabric edges. In the first four videos, Pamela covers all the basics, from stitches and accessories to threading and machine setup. Then she demonstrates four fun projects that include piecing quilt blocks, embellishing with decorative stitches, and even binding. You’ll enjoy the extra dimension you can achieve in your quilts by using a serger!

THE PERFECT SEAM FOR EVERY IDEA
The BERNINA L 890 is perfectly suited for working with all types of fabrics, particularly highly elastic and knitted materials, and threads. It sews, cuts and finishes in one easy step, so that your sewing projects take shape in no time. And with the One-step BERNINA Air Threader, threading the looper threads unbelievably easy; the threads are magically moved through the machine via one simple step on the foot control. With a generous color touchscreen and many other features, the L 890 offers three different functions: overlock stitches, cover- and chainstitches and 4-thread or 5-thread combo stitches.Â
