Top ten Bernina presser feet
Downloadable guide for Bernina Presser feet
#10 Edge stitch foot |
#12 Bulky overlock foot |
 |
 |
|
- Edge stitching with all needle positions
- Edge stitching on hems
- Tucks
- Fine edging (with or without cord)
- Decorative edges
- Sewing on lace and ribbon
- Stitching-in-the-ditch
|
- One side of the foot is higher than the other to accommodate the uneven layers encountered when seaming sweater knits or covering and inserting piping (especially corded piping)
- The extra space under the foot helps prevent knit fabrics from stretching as they are stitched
|
#14 Zipper foot with guide |
#20 Open toe embroidery foot |
 |
 |
|
- The adjustable guide on the top of the foot allows for even topstitching when inserting a zipper. The guide can be used on either side of the foot (just by sliding it), for added flexibility - Use this foot for simplified insertion of centered, lapped, separating and exposed zippers - Use this foot also for edge and top stitching from 1/16" - 5/8" (0.2-1.6cm)
|
- The bottom of the foot has a wedge shaped indentation, which
allows even satin stitching to glide under the foot without dragging. The angle
in the indentation makes it possible to turn curves easily
- The toes of the foot are shorter, compared to a regular zigzag
foot, for greater maneuverability while sewing (you can turn the fabric more
easily for smoother stitching lines, an important asset when embellishing
fabric)
|
#29 Freehand quilting foot |
#34 Clear foot |
 |
 |
|
- Foot #29 has a clear sole with a wide opening for added
visibility. You can see where you have been and where you are going
- Use this foot for all freehand applications for models 130-170
Combined with Bernina's Hopper Mechanism, this foot gives excellent fabric
control (no flagging) while the stitches are being formed as well as the ability
to move the project freely under the foot
|
- Good all-purpose presser foot
- Clear sole for increased stitch visibility
- Good for reverse motion patterns such as triple straight stitch,
triple zigzag, honeycomb, etc.
- Good for open decorative stitches
|
#35 Invisible zipper foot |
#37 Patchwork foot |
 |
 |
|
- Specially designed for inserting in-seam "invisible"
zippers.
- Eliminates the tedious job of pressing the zipper first - the
carefully engineered sole holds the zipper tape and coils in exactly the right
place for stitching.
- Stitch each side of the zipper tape to the seamline.
- Close remainder of seam using Foot #1.
|
- Use the edges of the foot for accurate 1/4" piecing
- The inside of the toes provides an accurate 1/8" seaming
guide
- The foot has 1/4" markings both behind the needle and in front of
the needle for accurate pivoting of corners
- For very delicate or difficult fabrics, consider the use of a
straight stitch plate (Models 130-180, Models 1000-1630) in combination with
Foot #37 for maximum fabric control.
