Overlock and cover without compromise
31 stitch variants, two to five threads and the 130 mm working space combine versatile processing with pleasant operation. The air threader helps with the looper thread, while the mtc and knee lever support clean edges and controlled guiding.
With the b68 AIRLOCK you can carry out your project from sewing together to the elastic hem on one machine. Air threading, knee levers and the large work area remove hurdles from the process so you can concentrate on material and processing.
