Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a BERNINA® serger! This workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Owners Classes you will take at your BERNINA® dealership, and contains a series of exercises intended to familiarize you with the features of your new BERNINA® overlock machine.

Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Presser Feet & Accessories BERNINA® Presser Feet: • are precision engineered for specific functions • are, in some cases, modeled after commercial feet used in factories to increase speed and production with professional looking results • do the job intended in relation to all types of sewing (ex. garment-making, quilting, home dec, etc.

Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Needles Along with thread, needles are very important to stitch formation. Many “mechanical” problems and damage to fabrics can be traced to a bent, damaged, or incorrect size or type needle. Approximately 60% of all needles made are discarded at some stage of production.
PAGE 7
Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Needle Chart Never use a needle bigger than size 90/14 in your serger; larger needles can interfere with looper movement and cause damage. Ball Point 70-90 Has a rounded point. 70 for lingerie, nylon, jersey; 80 for T-shirt; 90 for sweatshirt fleece. Stretch 70-90 A stretch needle has a more rounded point and a blue anti-cling coating which helps to prevent skipped stitches in knits and elastic. Sometimes used on Ultrasuede®, vinyl, and plastic.
PAGE 8
Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Thread Poor quality or the wrong type of thread can cause poor stitches on any machine. Thread passes through the eye of the needle approximately 37 times in a “seesaw” action before it forms a single stitch. Poor quality thread results in crooked and looped stitches, puckered seams, frayed thread, and/or needle breakage. To achieve quality stitches, an overlock machine needs three things: correct thread, correct size needle, and properly adjusted settings.

Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Thread Wearable art embellishment has necessitated the creation and marketing of many new thread types, such as rayons and metallics. Threads made in West Germany are left twist threads; Mettler and Isacord threads are also left twist. To test the twist of a thread: while holding the spool in the left hand, roll the strand of thread towards you with one thumb. Left twist will tighten, right twist will loosen.

Mastering Your BERNINA® BERNINA Sergers ® Adjusting Tensions, continued Upper Looper - Increased Tension Adjust the upper looper thread tension lever to 7 to increase the tension on the looper thread. Notes Serge the third piece of folded fabric, cutting off the fold. Examine the sample. The looper threads do not lock on the edge of the fabric. The lower looper thread is pulled tightly to the front of the stitch. Label, trim, and mount the sample.
