The Bernina 800DL

A simple, easy and affordable overlock... with room to grow.

In just one pass, you can cut, sew and finish edges on everything from fine silks and satin to denim, fleece and stretchy fabrics with the greatest of ease. And, although the 800DL is an entry level machine, you can sew like a pro with versatile features that make overlocking fast and simple.

Key Features 

Upper Looper Cover

The upper looper cover lets you serge with just 2 threads, allowing you, for example, to neaten individual layers of fabric, or to create decorative rolled hems with suitable fabrics, while saving thread in both cases.

Differential Feed and Stitch Length Controls

These ergonomic, easily accessible controls let you adjust fabric feed and stitch length to perfection with the flick of a wrist - even in the middle of the serging process.

Adjustable Thread Tension

The practical slides show you the current thread tension and allows you make stepless adjusments according to your serging needs

Professional Knife Drive from Above

Provides the greatest, most robust cutting force. Even thick fabrics won’t deflect the upper knife - so all fabric edges can be trimmed safely and professionally

Differential Feed 1

Stepless differential feed ensures wave-free seams in knits, and prevents puckering in fine fabrics - as well as allowing deliberate gathering

Threading (Lay-in) System

The BERNINA lay-in system lets you thread quickly and directly at all times. Thanks to the automatic lower-looper threading system, it’s also a cinch to thread the lower loopers.

Rolled Hem Lever

Simply flick the rolled hem lever to switch effortlessly to a rolled hem stitch and back again, with no need to change the stitch plate or presser foot.
