BERNINA
Overlocker Workbook 1
Congratulations on the purchase of your new BERNINA overlocker. The information in this workbook will help
you learn the basics of using your new piece of sewing equipment. Even though it is very different from your
sewing machine, once you learn to incorporate these techniques into your sewing, you'll wonder how you ev-
er got along without it.
Your overlocker will speed your sewing in several 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, seam-
ing, and overcasting) at the same time, you sew faster, and in the process, produce neater and more profes-
sional-looking results.

Because the overlocker is a specialized piece of equipment, it only "sews"
a limited number of techniques and even though the workings are 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 BERNINA
overlocker, attach the sewn samples to the indicated pages and insert the
pages into plastic page protectors and store them in a 3-ring binder. They
can then be used as a reference tool in the future as you use your overlocker
and explore the creative possibilities it affords you.
BERNINA of America strives to provide its customers with quality sewing ma-
chines, overlockers, and also with informative publications and classes.

erence Guide and Inspirations. Instructional video tutorials are available on
