Bernette b48 Funlock Serger

Brand: bernette b44 Funlock

The b48 Funlock is a combination machine: overlock and coverstitch in one housing. It offers 23 stitches, runs to 1,300 stitches per minute and shows settings on a small display, so the machine states which dial position each stitch wants. Threading paths are color coded, a free arm helps with sleeves, an LED lights the needle area, and the knife switches off with a lever when a seam should stay uncut.

Aimed at sewists who make finished garments and dislike keeping two machines on one table. Coverstitch hems on jersey look store made once tension is dialed in. The price sits near a thousand dollars, far above basic sergers, and switching between overlock and coverstitch means re threading. Service usually runs through Bernina dealers, which is easy in cities and slow further out.
