The One-Step Bernina Air Threader
The looper threads are magically moved through the machine by air with one simple step on the foot control. Now both hands are free to guide your threads. The L860 automatically sets the loopers in the correct alignment position for the air threader—no turning the handwheel or hunting for the right slot required. Simply press the foot control and you're off!
Intuitive Operation via Touch Screen
Whether choosing your stitch selection, altering individual settings, or accessing the Personal Memory—the central touch screen keeps everything at your fingertips and allows you to make adjustments while sewing. Advanced users can apply settings directly in Expert Mode, while Guided Mode offers clear, step-by-step instructions. Both options automatically set the ideal thread tension, stitch length, and differential feed along with your stitch selection.
Extremely Fast, Precise, and Quiet
The Bernina L860 can sew up to a blazing 1,500 stitches per minute. However, it isn’t just built for speed; it allows you to sew meticulously stitch-by-stitch, making the flawless production of precise lines and tight curves a simple process. Even at peak speed, the Swiss engineering ensures a quiet, vibration-free sewing experience.
Grand Sewing Space & Comfort
The Bernina L860 offers you a generous 5 5/8" (143 mm) of space to the right of the needle. It includes an easy slide-on extension table to expand your surface area and a convenient free arm which will allow you to sew sleeves or cuffs easily. Using the Bernina Free Hand System (FHS), you can raise and lower the presser foot with your knee so your hands never have to leave your fabric. Additionally, the presser foot easily swings out to the side for completely open, convenient access to the needles.
Total Stitch Control & Micro Thread Control (mtc)
With the L860, you can modify all settings individually and save your favourite combinations directly into your personal machine memory. Stitch length, differential feed, thread tension, and cutting width can all be adjusted on the fly while sewing. Furthermore, a simple turn of the MTC (Micro Thread Control) dial lets you fine-tune the exact amount of overedge thread for beautifully flat edges.
Quick, Straightforward Threading
The integrated needle threader combined with the automatic needle stop up function makes threading the needles incredibly simple. You can seamlessly change from an overlock seam to a rolled hem or flatlock seam in no time at all because the thread remains safely inside the exact same threading path.
