INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new bernette
overlocker. Learning to use your new machine to its fullest
capabilities will let you enjoy your machine for many years.
Understanding your machine’s features and learning its
navigation will maximize your creativity. While you will be
learning some basics, you’ll also be learning some creative
techniques, and we hope both will be inspirational.
Your overlocker will speed your sewing in many ways,
letting you produce more in less time. The speed of the
overlocker is faster than a sewing machine, and because
it performs several operations (trimming, seaming, and
overcasting) at the same time, your project is finished faster
and will produce neater and more professional results.
Even though the workings of the overlocker may appear be
more complex than a sewing machine, it doesn’t take long
to learn the basics. The stitching exercises in this workbook
use four, three, and two thread stitch formations.
Once you have completed the exercises designated for
your bernette overlock machine, attach the sewn samples
to the indicated pages, insert the pages into plastic page
protectors and store them in a 3-ring binder. Use this
workbook as a reference tool in the future as you learn to
use your overlocker in new ways.
