Simply thread. Precisely overlock.
The BERNINA one-step air threader guides the looper threads through the machine with a single press of a pedal. No handwheel, no complicated paths, and both hands free for the thread. Together with mtc thread control, differential feed, and easily accessible settings, you can create clean, professional edges – perfectly matched to your fabric and your design.
A press of a pedal instead of complicated threading.
For clothing that impresses down to the last stitch.
Clean interiors, elastic hems, and edges that look like they came from a professional studio: the BERNINA L 890 gives your sewing projects the finish they deserve. It combines the capabilities of an overlock and coverstitch machine with an ease of use that supports your sewing, rather than holding you back. This leaves more room for fabrics, patterns, and ideas that you truly want to implement.
Product details
overview
The BERNINA L 890 combines overlock, cover, and combo stitches in one high-quality machine. It's designed for anyone who not only wants to neatly finish garments but also professionally execute visible seams, hems, and edgings. From elastic jersey to sweat, knit, and woven fabrics, it accompanies you through every step of your sewing project.
With 2, 3, 4, or 5 threads, you can create perfectly fitting seams for various materials and applications. Overlock stitches join and finish fabric edges in one step, cover stitches create elastic hems like those on ready-to-wear clothing, and combo stitches combine both techniques for particularly durable seams with clean edge finishes.
The central color touchscreen makes operation clear and intuitive. In guided mode, the machine walks you step-by-step through stitch selection and setup. In expert mode, you can directly adjust settings to your project. A sewing consultant, tutorials, help animations, and a memory for personal stitches help you recall recurring settings with confidence.
The One-Step BERNINA Air Threader is particularly convenient. The loopers are automatically positioned correctly and threaded by air with a tap of the foot control. Color-coded threading paths make it easy to switch between overlock, cover, and combo stitches. The needles are threaded with the included manual threading aid.
While sewing, you can adjust relevant stitch parameters such as thread tension, stitch length, differential feed, and cutting width. With the mtc thread control, you can additionally control how cleanly the looper thread encloses the fabric edge. This ensures precise edge finishes, even on delicate, elastic, or multi-layered materials.
The large free arm, the slide-on table, and the BERNINA Free Hand System with knee lever provide ample freedom of movement during sewing. Sleeves, cuffs, and pant legs can be comfortably guided over the free arm. For larger projects, an extended work area is available to the left of the needle. This makes the L 890 a well-thought-out complete solution for demanding garment projects, home textiles, and creative details.
Characteristics
The BERNINA L 890 is an overlock/coverstitch combo machine for anyone who works with a wide variety of sewing projects and doesn't want to compromise on workmanship or comfort. Instead of having separate overlock and coverstitch machines, it combines both systems in one model and adds durable combo stitches. This results in professional interior finishes, elastic hems, and durable connecting seams in a single, continuous workflow.
You can select stitches, adjust settings, and access help directly on the machine via the color touchscreen. The guided mode assists with setup, while the expert mode provides quick access to all relevant parameters. Custom settings can be saved, allowing you to reuse proven stitch configurations for specific materials or projects at any time.
The One-Step BERNINA Air Threader significantly simplifies looper threading. Supplemented by uniform, color-coded thread paths, changing between different stitch types becomes comprehensible and safer. The mtc thread control enables fine adjustment of the stitch pattern at the fabric edge. In combination with adjustable differential feed, adjustable cutting width, and adjustable thread tension, clean results are achieved on a wide variety of fabrics.
The L 890 is also designed for comfort in handling. The free arm simplifies sewing closed shapes, the knee lift raises the presser foot and leaves both hands free for fabric guiding. The swing-out presser foot improves access to the needle area. With the slide-on table, waste collector, and integrated accessory compartment, the workspace remains tidy.
Application
The BERNINA L 890 is suitable for sewing, neatening, and hemming garments, accessories, and home textiles. Use overlock stitches to neatly cut and neaten fabric edges and close seams in a single step. Coverstitches are ideal for elastic hems on shirts, dresses, leggings, sportswear, or underwear. With chain and combi stitches, you can stably join layers of fabric and simultaneously neaten them professionally.
Thanks to the differential feed, the L 890 processes delicate, stretchy, or slightly wavy materials with control. It helps to sew jersey flat, prevents unwanted waves, and allows for targeted gathering if desired. The free arm makes it easier to work on closed shapes such as cuffs, sleeves, trouser legs, or necklines.

Du suchst die beste Qualität, Freiarm und den besten Support? Dann bist du mit der Bernina B500 bei Make ma perfekt aufgehoben. Ich hatte vorab wirklich 1 Mio. Fragen, dass es mir schon fast peinlich war. Aber Marit hat alle Fragen vorab beantwortet. Ursprünglich wollte ich die Bernette B70 haben, aber die Vorteile vom Freiarm, die intuitive Bedienung machen die schöne Maschine für mich perfekt. Ich würde gerne mehr Sterne geben, weil ihr einfach sehr modern seid!! Davon können scih andere noch eine Scheibe abschneiden, so viel verstaubte Geschäfte da draußen.
Ich bin total happy mit der Brother Celeste Stickmaschine. Besonders die Zwei-Punkt-Positionierung ist für mich ein echtes Highlight – damit lässt sich das Motiv viel genauer platzieren, was im Alltag einfach super hilfreich ist.
Vor dem Kauf wurde ich vom Team von Makema.de richtig gut beraten. Alle meine Fragen wurden geduldig beantwortet, sodass ich ein sehr gutes Gefühl hatte. Am Ende habe ich die Maschine sogar direkt vor Ort abgeholt, weil ich das Schätzchen unbedingt sofort mitnehmen wollte.
Seit inzwischen 6 Wochen ist sie bei mir im Einsatz und ich bin immer noch begeistert: Sie stickt leise, schnell und sehr sauber. Für mich bisher eine richtig gute Entscheidung.
Die Brother F580 als kombinierte Näh- und Stickmaschine ist einfach genial. Sehr schnell umgebaut, einfach in der Bedienung und ein wirklich(!) sehr ruhiges Nähen. Super!
Nachdem ich von der Singer SE auf die Bernina gewechselt bin, hatte ich erst ein paar Bedenken. Aber jetzt möchte ich die Bernina nicht mehr missen! Bin super zufrieden!
