Here's a spin around of a BERNINA 117L we've recently restored.
The difference with the 117 / 117K / 117KL model is that the 117L features automatic decorative stitches cams box at the rear.
In the familiar Swiss way of compacting things (just like Victorinox did with pocket knoves) BERNINA compacted this superb Zig Zag Industrial Sewing Machine.
An amazing piece of equipment that packs an industrial zig-zag sewing machine into domestic size making her bed size compatible with most domestic wooden bases and tables.
In fact she's the only industrial zigzag sewing machine in domestic size.
Extraordinary Swiss craftsmanship second to none !
Smooth and quite, just like a Swiss wrist watch!
This sewing machine really excels in embroidery !!
Everything is metallic, gears, shafts etc so well engineered that no shake or vibration is produced.
