 One-Step BERNINA Air Threader 

  • Thread the machine by one simple step
  • Loopers are in the correct position
  • Threading that is actually fun
The threads move magically through the machine with a quick step on the foot control - a hands-free operation.  The L890 Quilters Edition automatically sets loopers in the right position for threading without needing to turn the handwheel searchiing for the right positioning.  Step on the gas, and poof!

 


Intuitive operation via touch screen

  • Centrally located Color Touch Screen
  • Sewing Consultant, Stitch Optimizer & helpful animations
  • Expert Mode or Guided Mode
Select your stitch, stitch settings and properties or access the memory via the intuitive touch screen.  They are all available there and you can make changes while sewing.  Apply all settings directly in Expert Mode if you are an advanced user, while Guided Mode walks you through settings step-by-step and includes mini videos for even more clarification.  Both modes set thread tension, stitch length and differential feed automatically based on stitch selection.     Watch Video

 


Perfect seams due to Total Stitch Control

  • Save 100 Stitches in your Personal Memory
  • Adjust stitch length, differential feed & thread tension while sewing
  • Needle stop can be permanently set up or down
With the L890 Quilters Edition you can adjust all the settings for each stitch and save up to 100 variations in Personal Memory.  The stitch length, differential feed, thread tension, cutting width and other stitch parameters can be adjusted while you sew.  Turn the MTC knob (Micro Thread Control) to adjust the amount of overedge thread.

Convenient features you'll love

  • BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS) to raise and lower the presser foot
  • Swing out the presser foot to access the needles
Press the foot control with your heel to take a half stitch, lowering or raising the needle.  The BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS) allows you to raise and lower the presser foot with you knee, leaving both of your hands free to guide the fabric.

Grand sewing space

  • 5 5/8" to the right of the needle
  • Extension table included
  • Convenient freearm
The L890 is generously proportioned with more room to the right of the needle and more work space height than any other BERNINA overlocker/serger.  Sew closed items such as cuffs or sleeves quite easily by sliding them over the freearm, easily accessed when the tray is removed.   Watch Video

 

 

 Fast, precise & quiet

  • Sew up to 1,350 stitches per minute
  • Strong, consistent and precise at any speed
  • Program and control speed via touch screen
Sew quickly or stitch-by-stitch to easily produce precise lines and curves.  Listen to the machine stitch - so extremely quietly it is a pleasure to use.  You can also program & control both the minimum and maximum speeds using the color touch screen.

The perfect seam for every idea 

  • For all types of fabrics & threads
  • Sew using either 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads
  • For overlock, chain-/cover- & combo stitches

The L 890 Quilters Edition sews using 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads, providing the perfect seam for every design. From the stretchiest knits to the most loosely woven fabrics the L 890 QE has the perfect stitch for particularly highly elastic and knitted materials, and threads. Combine both overlock, cover- and chainstitches for extra durable seams using 4- or 5-thread combo stitches.  Watch Video



 

Quick threading

  • One-path threading
  • Color-Coded threading path
  • Easily change from one stitch to another
Color-coded One-path threading enables you to easily switch between Overlock, Coverstitch or Combo stitches in no time at all.  Every machine set-up and operation is supported with animations accessible on the color touch screen.
