Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the bernette 62 AIRLOCK a serger, or something different?
The b62 AIRLOCK is a dedicated coverstitch and chainstitch machine — it does not overlock or trim fabric edges the way a serger does. It's purpose-built for professional garment hemming and decorative topstitching on knit and woven fabrics.
What's the difference between the 4 coverstitch and 3 chainstitch options?
The 4 coverstitches (narrow, wide, and 3-needle configurations) are ideal for flexible, durable garment hems, while the 3 chainstitch variations create stretchy seams and decorative topstitching, especially useful on activewear.
How does Automatic Air Threading work?
Engaging the air connector switch and pressing a button blasts looper thread through internal channels in seconds, eliminating one of the most tedious and error-prone parts of setting up a coverstitch machine.
Can the b62 AIRLOCK handle stretch fabrics without puckering?
Yes. The differential feed dial fine-tunes feed dog ratios to prevent stretch fabric rippling or light fabric puckering, keeping seams flat on knits and delicate wovens alike.
