The BERNINA L 860 is a high-end, computerized 2/3/4-thread overlocker featuring the one-step BERNINA Air Threader, making it exceptionally easy to thread loopers via the foot control. Controlled by a color touchscreen, it offers 18 built-in stitches, automatic tension settings, and a guided mode, ideal for both beginners and experienced users. It is designed for high-speed, precise sewing with a knee-operated Free-Hand System (FHS).
