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

This promotes balanced stitch
formation where the fabric is moving
back-and-forth while reverse motion
stitches are formed

|

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.

indicated such as for extra long or
extra small buttonholes, or in

thicknesses of fabrics such as
narrow collar stands
- Use this foot to sew buttonholes
with or without gimp

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

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
The narrow groove in the sole of the
foot, behind the needle, allows heavy
threads to pass under the foot,
preventing skipped stitches when
topstitching
Use this foot in combination with a
size 100 or 110 when sewing thick, dense
fabrics (as when hemming jeans). This
foot is uniquely designed to actively
brace a size 100 or 110 needle and help
prevent needle breakage when sewing
through heavy layers
Jeans Foot #8 can also be used with
a size 70 ballpoint needle to sew fine
knit fabrics without puckering and
wrinkling.

Wide Gathering Foot #16
Gathering
is easy with the right foot! Use the
Wide Gathering Foot #16 to gather single
layers of fabric in all fabric types.
The slot of the foot allows the
gathering of one piece of fabric while
it is being attached to another
(ungathered) layer. A ruffle can be made
and attached in one operation
The amount of gathering can be
adjusted by varying stitch length and
needle thread tension
For heavier fabrics, the use of the
long stitch or basting stitch will
facilitate gathering
The distance between rows of
gathering ranges from a minimum of 3/16"
(5mm) to a maximum of 3/8" (10mm)

allows it to run and fell an 8mm wide
seam easily and precisely
Foot #71 is well suited for medium
to heavy weight fabrics such as denim,
wool, corduroy and tapestry
For light weight fabrics, Foot #70
(4mm Lap Seam Foot) is recommended.
