Your compact coverstitch machine – featuring modern Swiss Design, engineered for stretch, and built to add style to every stitch. The bernette b-42 FUNLOCK is a dedicated coverstitch machine offering a total of 4 professional coverstitches. Perfect for giving hems, edges, cuffs, and bindings a ready-to-wear look, it excels even with highly elastic stretch fabrics and fine knits like jersey. Boasting a spacious 87mm workspace, bright LED illumination, a fast 1,300 stitches-per-minute speed, and an integrated safety switch, it brings professional-grade assembly to your sewing studio.
The bernette b-42 FUNLOCK is the perfect companion to a standard sewing machine, allowing you to take care of neatening and coverstitching with an immaculate, professional finish. Sporting a sleek, two-color Swiss design, this machine is engineered to handle highly elastic stretch materials, thin knits, and sportswear effortlessly, ensuring seams stretch with the garment without puckering or breaking.
4 Essential Professional Stitches
The b-42 Funlock provides a focused stitch package to suit any edge or hem style. It features a 4-thread/3-needle coverstitch, two 3-thread/2-needle coverstitches (available in both wide and narrow options for various fabric weights), and a highly durable 2-thread chain stitch. Whether you are stabilising a durable hemline or applying decorative topstitching to bindings, your projects will look perfect inside and out.
Simplified, Colour-Coded Threading
Threading this machine is completely stress-free thanks to the lay-in threading system and colour-coded paths. Simply follow the bright, color-coded thread guides and utilise the mechanical lower looper threader and manual needle threader to get set up rapidly. For added workflow convenience, raising the presser foot automatically triggers a thread tension release, allowing you to pull your fabric out smoothly without fighting the threads.
Large Illuminated Workspace & Safety First
With a generous 87mm of workspace to the right of the needles, you have plenty of room to guide larger garments and rolled hems with ease. The entire work surface is bathed in a bright, energy-efficient LED light to reduce eye strain and give you a flawless view of your needle paths. Best of all, it features an integrated safety switch that instantly cuts power if the looper cover is left open, ensuring total peace of mind during threading and maintenance.
