Bernina Bernette B48 Overlock & Chainstitch Coverstitch Machine

It’s my first overlocker and im really happy with it. I was looking long time for five thread overlocker and this is exactly what I wanted. It has endless options for home use. Obviously getting to know it takes time but it works so easily and quietly compare to my sewing machine Can’t suggest it enough ❤️

Once you know how to operate should be good. It is very complicated to thread. I am still learning how to operate. Chain stitch and overlock together still not working. My disappointment is there are some tools missing so I will have to buy. Specially Allan key for changing needles.

Excellent compact fully functional machine.

This is the first coverstitch machine, I have purchased for this amount of money and found it hard to thread. The lower loopers and the colour code points are not that clear either, which is supposed to help, such a bad design I have experience in all types of machinery for the construction of clothing and this has been the worst ive come across. I felt spending more money meant better quality. The name Bernette is a cousin to my first ever Bernina sewing machine and I believed in the brand since the age of 12 so dissappointed with the bernette coverstitch. THought it was what I wanted. in the process of trying o thread this machine i've lossed the screw, as i had to take the plate off, this has been very stressful. I took out insurance and hope that i will get a refund on this, especially if they cannot send another screw out to me. I really hope this can be resolved in some way.

Too complicated to thread the machine

I managed to get this overlocker on an Amazon Warehouse Deal - the box was slightly dinked (which I was expecting) and the machine came as new. Everything is in great working order, thought I haven't tried the coverstitch mode yet.

Bought this with great excitement that it could offer me overlocking and cover stitch options in one reputable brand. Disappointed in how basic the instruction book was, no dvd or online help other than YouTube videos that covered several models as well as this one. But I cracked it after a lot of effort. I was going well for the first two weeks when suddenly it stopped making chains. I lost count of how many times I cleaned it, rethreaded it, re-rethreaded cleaned it again threaded it again ..... Eventually I had to give up and go back for help. The vendor did not reply to my help request but Amazon agreed to take it back for a full refund. Fantastic service. Shame the vendor wasn't there as they should have been.

Really difficult to make it work even when threaded properly. It needs many attempts. Tiny space around needles, for your hands. Feedly to adjust the tensions. Brakes the threads. I'v never disliked any overlocker so much and I have 25 years of sewing experience. I just wish that Elna 740 was still on the market (bought it twice), and that I didn't waste money and time on this terrible piece of work.

Arrivata oggi. Acquistata dopo un’attenta valutazione. Mi sono fidata del marchio Bernette perché posseggo già la macchina da cucire Chicago 7. Spedizione rapida, imballo perfetto. Unica pecca il manuale di istruzioni non è in italiano ma in rumeno. Per fortuna esiste internet ed il sito ufficiale di Bernette dove è disponibile in italiano.

Colis reçu parfaitement clean, mais j'ai éssayé de m'en servir ce jour , notice en italien dommage et manque le tube qui maintient le porte bobine , ce qui fait qu'il bouge systématiquement donc je suis obligé de le commander ce qui n'est pas facile, la machine a déj a servie apparement vu des fils étaient apparents

Ich erfreue mich nun schon über ein halbes Jahr an dieser Maschine und würde sie auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen! Die Kombination aus Overlock und Coverstitch lässt wirklich keine Wünsche offen! Einfach zu handhaben, leicht einzufädeln und umzufädeln, stets makellose Stichqualität - würde mich nicht mehr von ihr trennen wollen. Der Preis hat es in sich, ok, aber dafür erhält man ein wirklich durchdachtes und höchstwertiges Markenprodukt. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Tiene muchas funciones. Para una principiante como yo, remalla y recubre de sobra. Incluso tiene puntadas que aún no he probado. La única dificultad que le he encontrado es colocar los hilos, pero esto pasa en todas las remalladoras a no ser que se enhebren por aire. No ha sido un problema para mí.

Very nice machine , works smooth and fast delivery.
