Superb BERNINA Features

The 1150MDA has a host of special features designed to make your sewing experience simpler, smarter, and more creative.

Micro Thread Control - Thanks to mtc , it's finally possible to directly set the over-edge thread length for the perfect seam at the twist of a knob. 
A BERNINA exclusive.

A simple threading system - The BERNINA lay-in system lets you thread quickly and directly-and the automatic lower-looper threading system makes it simpler, too.

Automatic Needle Threader - The built-in needle threader will thread both needles for you. It couldn't be easier!

Differential feed - Stepless differential feed ensures wave-free seams in knits and prevents puckering in fine fabrics - at the same time allowing deliberate gathering.

Rolled Hem - Nothing is simpler than a BERNINA rolled hem: Simply move the rolled-hem lever to switch effortlessly to a rolled-hem stitch and back again with no need to change the stitch plate or presser foot.

Patented swing-out presser foot - Simply swing the foot out to the side to give yourself plenty of space for easy threading and hassle-free needle change. 
A BERNINA exclusive.

Front foot lift system - The front foot lift gives an additional lift to the front of the presser foot, making it possible to accurately position multiple layers of fabric and bulky projects such as polar fleece, hand-knit sweaters and home decorating fabrics underneath it.

Handwheel position indicator - Easy, ergonomic operation. Find the ideal threading position for the needles and the lower looper quickly. 
A BERNINA exclusive.

Professional knife drive from above - Provides the greatest, most robust cutting force. Even thick fabrics won't deflect the upper knife-so all fabric edges can be trimmed safely and professionally.

Included Presser Feet and Accessories - Standard presser foot for Overlock with built-in tape guide, Blind Stitch foot, Elasticator foot, waste collector, needles and even a dust cover are included.
