Bernina Sergers
 Featuring:
Micro Thread Control (mtc) - Only from Bernina.
Bernina's patented Micro Thread Control (mtc) lets you fine-tune your stitches
with incredible ease, for the best looking seams you ever saw. Featured on the M
series sergers. You can fine-tune the over-edge thread length at the turn of a
knob for a tight, clean finish.
From Loose To Lovely. . .With a Flick Of The Wrist
It's not just more precise, it's easier. Previously, to correct overhanging
thread loops, you had to reset cutting width and both looper tensions. Now, one
twist of the mtc knob makes a smooth, tight seam, and makes it easy to create a
professional finish as you move from fabric to fabric. These edges are so
perfect, you have to see them to believe them.
