Purpose-built to master coverstitches and chainstitches, this machine delivers the incredible precision of Swiss engineering directly to your studio.

Instant Threading & Stress-Free Preparation

Say goodbye to complicated threading paths and eye strain. The L 620 introduces intuitive, modern configurations that let you dive straight into sewing:

  • Illuminated One-Step Bernina Air Threader: Threading the lower loopers requires nothing more than a simple puff of air. A specialized status light keeps the threading mechanism clearly visible.

  • Integrated Needle Threader: Effortlessly switch between needle positions and thread them in seconds using the built-in, semi-automatic needle threader bar.

  • Colour-Coded One-Path System: Thread paths follow an identical, easy-to-follow layout for every single stitch selection, supported by a magnetic all-in-one looper cover that snaps open and shut cleanly.

Uncompromised Hands-Free Ergonomics

The L 620 gives you complete physical freedom to guide your projects with total accuracy:

  • Free Hand System (FHS) with Feed Dog Drop: The ergonomic knee lifter allows you to raise and lower the presser foot completely hands-free. To make positioning thick garments or elastics even easier, the feed dogs automatically drop down when the foot is raised, preventing any fabric resistance.

  • Programmable Foot Control & Speed Slider: Adjust the machine to suit your exact comfort level. Tap the heel back-kick function on the professional foot control to instantly set your needle stop position (up or down). Need to slow things down for a tricky curve? Adjust your limits instantly with the front-facing speed slider.

  • Quiet & Consistent DC Motor: Stitch confidently at up to 1,200 stitches per minute or move deliberately stitch-by-stitch. The sound-optimised DC motor delivers high piercing force without losing smooth, whisper-quiet performance.

Spacious Workspace & Clever Engineering

  • 120 mm of Creative Freedom: Enjoy a generous 120 mm of space to the right of the needles, providing an incredibly comfortable area for holding, turning, and manipulating your fabrics.

  • Slide-On Extension Table & Insert: Easily expand your flat working plane to handle large garments. The included extension table comes with a specialized coverstitch insert featuring distinct seam markings for perfectly straight hems.

  • Clear View Foot #C28: The included standard foot gives you an unobstructed, crystal-clear view of the precise needle drop area, ensuring your lines stay perfectly aligned with the fabric edges.

  • Perfect Elastic Tension: Backed by an adjustable differential feed ranging from 0.7 to 2.0, the L 620 guarantees entirely flat, ripple-free seams on high-stretch items and perfectly flat joins on fine silks.

Main Features

* 7 Stitches - A variety of wide and narrow, long and short stitches for every sewing project.

* 3mm / 6mm Coverstitch width- Wide coverstitch is suitable for hems in medium to heavy weight knitwear, for high stretch fabrics and topstitching. Narrow coverstitch is ideal for topstitching fine knitwar and light weight fabrics.

* One-step Bernina Air threader (for looper threads) illuminate - Threads the looper threads automatically. While the air threader is activated, a threader light indicates the operating status. The One-Step Bernina air threader is operated with the Bernina foot control, leaving both hands free to position the thread over the threader nozzles.

* Built in needle threader - The built in needle threader located at the needle bar area easily switches to thread the needles.

* Colour-coded One-path threading - The thread follows one defined path for each stitch. The threading paths are always the same and colour coded.

* Bernina Free Hand System (FHS) with Feed Dog Drop -  Use the knee lever to lower or temporarily raise the presser foot so that both hands remain free to guide the sewing project precisely. When the presser foot is raised the feed dog automatically lowers, creating additional space under the presser foot.

* Needle Stop Up/Down Programmable - For each sewing project, program the suitable stop, either to stabilize the project under the foot or to easily remove it.

* Swing-out Presser foot with Auto Swing Back - The presser foot swings to the left, providing ample space for easy threading, comfortable needle changing and to easily lay the threads under the presser foot. When lowering the presser foot with the hand lifter it swings automatically back.

* Speed control - Sewing top speed can be reduced via the speed selection slider to accommodate sewing projects that require slower but even sewing speed.

* Sewing light switch / Dimmer - The sewing light can be switched on/off and dimmed. By default the sewing light is turned on.

* Space to the right of the needle - More space to the right of the needles offers comfort and more flexibility when stitching large and small projects. Ideal for handling from the right when the left hand is holding fabric and notions in place.
