What is the difference between the b68 Maker Edition and the b68 AIRLOCK?
The b68 Maker Edition is a limited edition of the b68 AIRLOCK in an exclusive design. You also receive a wide range of special accessories including six presser feet, two fabric guides, and a mini vacuum cleaner.
What is the mtc (micro thread control) and how does it help?
The "micro thread control" is a fine adjustment that allows you to precisely set the amount of thread wrapping around the fabric edge. This prevents unwanted loops and ensures your edges are beautifully wrapped. You only have to set the thread tension once, and then use the mtc for fine adjustments.
What are combo stitches used for?
Combo stitches combine overlock and coverstitching in one operation. This saves time and creates very stable seams. They are ideal for less stretchy fabrics and projects where you want a wide, clean seam allowance, especially on fabrics that fray easily.
