Accessories   ( FEET - GENERAL )



ZigZag Foot #0

For all sewing with straight stitch, zigzag and all forward feed stitches.

  • The sole of the foot is flat in front of the needle, providing additional fabric control
  • Especially useful to reduce flagging in fine fabrics, promoting perfect stitch formation
 



Reverse Pattern Foot #1/ 34/34D*

Use this foot for all work using forward feed or reverse feed stitches.

  • Use this foot for all work using forward feed or reverse feed stitches
  • The sole of the foot has a slight indentation both in front and in back of the needle, allowing the free passage of the thread while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • This promotes balanced stitch formation where the fabric is moving back-and-forth while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • Owners of 9mm rotary models 1630 and 180 should consider using Foot #1C (9mm), which will better match the wider feed dog on these models

Reverse Pattern Foot #1C
  • Use this foot for all work using forward feed or reverse feed stitches
  • The sole of the foot has a slight indentation both in front and in back of the needle, allowing the free passage of the thread while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • This promotes balanced stitch formation where the fabric is moving back-and-forth while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • Owners of 9mm rotary models 1630 and 180 should consider using Foot #1C (9mm), which will better match the wider feed dog on these models
  •  

    Reverse Pattern Foot #1D

     

  • Use this foot for all work using forward feed or reverse feed stitches
  • The sole of the foot has a slight indentation both in front and in back of the needle, allowing the free passage of the thread while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • This promotes balanced stitch formation where the fabric is moving back-and-forth while reverse motion stitches are formed
  • Owners of 9mm rotary models 1630 and 180 should consider using Foot #1C (9mm), which will better match the wider feed dog on these models

  • Overlock Foot #2

    Achieve perfect results with overlock seams, hems using overlock stitches, and oversewing seam edges.

    • This foot is equipped with a pin which acts in a similar manner as the stitch finger on a serger. When the pin is placed along the edge of the fabric, it reinforces the edge as the stitch forms, preventing tunneling of the fabric
    • The right side of the sole is cut away so the stitched edge of the fabric can move smoothly under the foot without any unnecessary pulling or stretching
    • The vari-overlock stitch on all computerized model Berninas is preprogrammed so that the right swing of the needle will fall just off and to the right of the pin, which will prevent the fabric from tunneling
    • Another application for this foot is sewing a narrow satin stitch. The satin stitch can be formed over the pin for a raised satin effect such as in charted needle work. Using the pin in the foot rather than knitting needles simplifies the process, especially for beginners
    • Owners of the artista 180 should consider using Foot #2A, which has a wider sole to better match the wider feed dog
     

    Buttonhole Foot #3/3C

    For manual buttonholes of any length, with or without gimp.

    • Use this buttonhole foot whenever manual buttonholes are indicated such as for extra long or extra small buttonholes, or in difficult areas with uneven thicknesses of fabrics such as narrow collar stands
    • Use this foot to sew buttonholes with or without gimp
    • The sole of the foot has two grooves, which allow the fabric to move freely even as thread builds up to form the beads of the buttonhole. The guide between the grooves helps keep the beads of the buttonhole parallel, even when long buttonholes are sewn
    • The slight indentation in the front of the foot allows the free passage of the thread as the stitching reverses to complete the buttonhole
    • The center "toe" (prong) in the front of the foot can be used to hook gimp or cord. It is used for corded buttonholes, gathering with cord or sewing shirring elastic.
    • This foot can also be used for whip-and-roll edges in fine fabrics like batiste (Swiss edge)

    Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A/3B/3C

    For fully automatic, repeatable buttonholes with or without gimp.

    • Use this foot on computerized Bernina’s for electronically memorized, fully automatic buttonholes with or without gimp. (This foot fits all computerized models with automatic buttonhole capability).
    • The unique design of Bernina's Automatic Buttonhole foot actually measures the length of the buttonhole as it is being stitched. Every subsequent buttonhole is sewn to the exact same length. Only the starting point of each buttonhole needs to be marked.
    • The sliding frame of the foot provides improved fabric guidance while the buttonhole is being stitched. It also provides very good visibility
    • On most recent computerized models this foot can also be used with additional stitch programs such as the mending programs
    • artista models can also sew automatic buttonholes with pre-programmed length (entered directly or by the "button-on-screen" method) with the help of Foot #3A.
     

    Buttonhole Foot #3C

    For manual buttonholes of any length, with or without gimp.

    • Use this buttonhole foot whenever manual buttonholes are indicated such as for extra long or extra small buttonholes, or in difficult areas with uneven thicknesses of fabrics such as narrow collar stands
    • Use this foot to sew buttonholes with or without gimp
    • The sole of the foot has two grooves, which allow the fabric to move freely even as thread builds up to form the beads of the buttonhole. The guide between the grooves helps keep the beads of the buttonhole parallel, even when long buttonholes are sewn
    • The slight indentation in the front of the foot allows the free passage of the thread as the stitching reverses to complete the buttonhole
    • The center "toe" (prong) in the front of the foot can be used to hook gimp or cord. It is used for corded buttonholes, gathering with cord or sewing shirring elastic.
    • This foot can also be used for whip-and-roll edges in fine fabrics like batiste (Swiss edge)

    Zipper Foot #4/54

    Zipper insertion is made easy with this especially designer foot. You can also use Foot#4 for making and attaching pipings, welting and attaching snap tape.

  • The "centered toe" of this foot rides close to the zipper coil while holding the fabric and zipper tape in contact with the feed dog
  • The notches on each side of the foot provide excellent fabric control around the needle and help eliminate skipped stitches when sewing in zippers. At the same time, they allow the needle to stitch "just inside the edge" of the foot, for better precision
  • Note: This foot requires that the "far left" or "far right" needle positions be used.

  • Blindstitch Foot #5

    Sew professional blind hems by machine for a stronger, more even hem.

    • This foot was designed specifically for the stitching of a turned hem
    • The foot has a black or silver metal blade which guides and keeps the folded edge of the fabric in the right position for stitching, allowing the needle to penetrate the fold, taking tiny stitches
    • The blade extends from the front to the back of the stitching point, creating a slightly loose stitch as the machine zigzags over the blade to "bite" into the fold. The blind hem will not pucker and the stitching will not create tucks in the fabric
    • The blindstitch can be adjusted by varying the width of the stitch, which promotes greater precision (than an adjustable guide)
    • This foot can be used for edgestitching along straight edges with limited needle positions. The use of Foot #10 or #10C is recommended for most edgestitching, especially along curved edges and on finer fabrics
     

    Blindstitch Foot #5C

    Sew professional blind hems by machine for a stronger, more even hem.

    Embroidery Foot #6/39

    This foot is sometimes called "appliqué" foot. It is particularly suited for embroidery with decorative stitches, satin stitches, appliqué and couching fine yarns.

  • 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
  • There is a small hole in the metal bridge at the front of the foot which allows a narrow cord to be guided perfectly down the center of the stitching for raised edges and appliqué
  • In lighter weight fabrics, the metal bridge of Foot #6 provides additional fabric control and helps prevent tunneling
  • There is a notch on each side of the foot providing a reference mark for the needle. This makes it possible to easily position the fabric "on the mark" when stitching decorative work.
  •  

    Jeans Foot #8

    This foot makes sewing straight stitch seams in thick, hard fabrics and straight stitching over thick seams possible.

  • The single needle hole provides extra stability for the needle even as it crosses thick bulky areas
