Our Swiss engineers have created a masterpiece, which allows you to thread the machine even faster and more conveniently. Simply press the foot control and you’re off!

The ultimate Overlocker

One-step BERNINA Air Threader
Extremely fast, precise and quiet
Convenient freearm
Total Stitch Control for perfect seams
Impressive sewing space

The One-step BERNINA Air Threader

Simple threading with air
Now, you’re ready to sew
Imaging threading that is actually fun

The looper threads are magically moved through the machine by air with one simple step on the foot control. Now both hands are free to guide the threads. The L 850 automatically sets the loopers in the correct position of the air threader – no turning the handwheel or searching for the right position.

Sew in comfort

Raise and lower presser foot easily
Both hands free to guide the fabric
Easy access to the needles thanks to presser foot that swings out

With the BERNINA Free Hand System (FHS) you can raise and lower the presser foot with your knee. In addition, the presser foot easily swings out for convenient access to the needles.

Total Stitch Control for perfect seams

Individually adjustable settings for Total Stitch Control
Perfect for working with various fabrics and threads in any combination
Fully adjustable differential feed

The L850 offers several settings for Total Stitch Control – all individually adjustable. The best part? You can change all of these settings while sewing – including the thread tension, cutting width, stitch length and Micro Thread Control (mtc).

Extremely fast, precise & quiet

Sew up to 1,500 stitches per minute
Strong, consistent and precise at any speed
Extremely quiet

Not only can you sew quickly, but you can also sew stitch-by-stitch, making the flawless production of precise lines and curves a simple process. Plus, you will enjoy how extremely quiet the BERNINA L850 sews.

Quick threading

One-path, color-coded threading
Automatic Needle stop up function
Integrated Needle Threader

The integrated Needle Threader and automatic needle stop up function make threading the needles simple. You can easily change from an overlock seam to a rolled hem or flatlock seam in no time because the thread remains in the same threading path.

Impressive sewing space

143 mm right to the needle
Easy on/off extension table included
Convenient freearm

The space offered on the Bernina L850 is generous by any definition. It has more room to the right of the needle and more work space height than any other BERNINA overlocker. Sew closed items with ease by simply sliding sleeves or cuffs over the convenient freearm.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I decided to upgrade my Janome sewing machine and had an idea of the one I wanted. Unfortunately the machine was on back order with Janome but both Sasha and Steve communicated this to me and as soon as it arrived with them they called me up so that I could go to view the machine. It was a 60 mile journey to Kings Lynn for me however it really was worth it instead of taking a chance ordering a machine online that I hadn’t even seen. Sasha was helpful demonstrating and gave me confidence to go forward with the purchase. She spent time with me ensuring I had covered anything I was unsure about, lovely, lovely young lady. Rita was also very welcoming. I have peace of mind knowing that I can drop off the machine to my local fabric & quilting store as Sewing Machine World collects from them weekly to service and repair…excellent service and good value. They gave me a very fair price for trade in so all in all the transaction has been smooth and pleasant. I would highly recommend using this business. Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was delighted with the service from Sewing Machine world. Rita could not have been more patient, spending as much time as I needed to demo the embroidery machine I was interested in. Though there are videos on you tube etc,  nothing beats being able to see it for yourself and ask questions. Given that these are not cheap machines, it’s definitely worth a trip. Without any sales pressure I was pleased to order the machine, which arrived 2 days later. I haven’t had to avail myself of the offer of a half hour lesson, but it’s there if I need it, and they service and repair too. I highly recommend a visit - you won’t be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always get such great customer care from Sewing Machine World. I’ve bought a Bernina 570 and Brother overlocker here. Just had a service for my Bernina and it’s running like a dream. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great service! I had done a lot of online research for the particular machine I was interested in but wanted to see the machine in person before ordering, made contact with Sasha and arranged for a demonstration, she ran me through the workings of the machine so I could place my order with confidence. Nothing was too much trouble when accommodating delivery arrangements to fit in with my holiday dates. I feel confident should I need any help in future I will be able to contact staff without worry. Support bricks and mortar shops as you cannot get this level of service online!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love visiting this shop, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of sewing machines on display to try and have a demonstration. Lots of accessories too. Just bought a new machine and can’t wait to use it, and if I need help, I know who I can call. Thank you all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend loaned me her Toyota overlocker which after trial and error I managed to get working, however, not with the cones of thread supplied.  Steve diagnosed the need for 4 small cones for the thread to sit on and within 10 minutes, I was on my way, stocked up with sewing machine supplies and an overlocker free of its naughtiness. And did I mention the 10 minutes included a quick peek at potential future machine purchases?  What a selection!  Thoroughly recommend.    I will be back!
