Presser Feet
Bernina offers the most extensive selection of presser feet in the home sewing market, for all projects or applications.
 
Foot #0
Zigzag foot for 130-180
  • 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
     

     
Foot #1
Reverse Pattern foot for 125-200
  • 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
 

     
Foot #2
Overlock foot for 125-200
  • 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.
 

     
Foot #3
Manual Buttonhole foot
  • 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)
 

     
Foot #3A
Automatic Buttonhole
for 153, 165, 180, 200
  • Use this foot on computerized Berninas 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.
 
     
Foot #3B
Buttonhole Foot for 125-200
  • The sliding frame of the foot provides improved fabric guidance while the buttonhole is being stitched
  • This foot is particularly effective in making perfect counted stitch buttonholes (models 1090s, activas, virtuosas)
  • The red marker (slide) makes it very easy to reproduce identical buttonholes when buttonholes are stitched "manually" (like on mechanical models)
  • The foot is designed to hold gimp for easy corded buttonholes
  • The shank of the foot can hold a seam guide for easy placement of buttonholes along the opening of a garment.
 

     
Foot #4
Zipper Foot for 125-200
  • 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.
 


     
Foot #5
Blindstitch foot for 125-200
  • 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 ofFoot #10 or #10C is recommended for most edgestitching, especially along curved edges and on finer fabrics.
     
 

     
Foot #6
Embroidery for 125-200
  • 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.
 

     
Foot #7
Tailor Tack for 125-200
  • The unique design of this foot includes a 1/4" (6mm) tall ridge in the center of the foot. Used with a 3mm zigzag (or wider), the ridge will cause the stitches to loop as they are formed above the fabric
  • Fast and accurate tailor tacks! Simply stitch through the paper pattern and all layers of fabric as needed. Gently separate the fabric layers and clip the thread loops, leaving thread on each piece of fabric
  • This foot is also well suited for other applications such as faggotting, fringing and chenille appliqué.
     
 

     
Foot #8
Jeans Foot for 125-200
  • 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.
 

     
Foot #9
Darning foot for 125-200

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.

 

     
Foot #10
Edgestitch foot for 125-200
  • 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
  • The guide (blade) in the front of the foot serves as a reference when stitching along an edge. The guide on Foot #10 is shorter than that of Blindhem Foot #5, allowing greater maneuverability when stitching curved edges and providing more stability on lightweight fabrics
  • Owners of 9mm rotary models 1630 and 180 should consider using Foot #10C (9mm), which will better match the wider feed dog on these models.
 

     
Foot #11
Cordonnet Foot for 125-200
  • A 2mm groove in the sole of this foot allows heavier threads such as cordonnet and buttonhole twist to pass freely under the foot after the stitches are formed. The groove is gradually tapered away towards the back of the foot to promote good fabric control and facilitate the turning of curves
  • Use this foot also to couch heavier yarns or cords. The 5.5mm opening of this foot will accommodate many weights and textures of cord, yarn or thread
  • Other applications for this foot include Passementerie and Novelty covered wire (where satin stitching is sewn over wire to produce accents for wreaths, gift wraps and crafts)
 

     
Foot #12
Bulky Overlock Foot for 125-200
  • 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
  • The same groove under the foot makes it well suited for making corded piping. In many applications, corded piping can be made and applied in one operation with the help of Foot #12
  • Use this foot to couch stranded beads and sequins (up to 3mm in diameter) as well as
  • For thicker cords, piping and beads, consider the use of Foot #12C (for all models)
 

     
Foot #13
Straight Stitch Foot for 125-200
  • The small needle hole provides excellent fabric control. This foot is especially useful with difficult or delicate fabrics such as charmeuse, fine silks, etc.
  • The toes of this foot are open and provide very good visibility while stitching
  • Use the edges of the foot for approximate 1/4" and 1/8" seam allowances
  • For very delicate or difficult fabrics, consider the use of a straight stitch plate (Models 130-180, Models 1000-1630) in combination with Foot #13 for maximum fabric control.
 

     
Foot #14
Zipper Foot with Guide for 125-200
  • 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)
  • Wide tucks are easily and accurately sewn with the help of the adjustable guide on Foot #14.
     
 

     
Foot #15
Embroidery Foot for 165-200

Combined with BERNINA's built-in hopper mechanism, this foot gives excellent fabric control, eliminating flagging (the fabric climbing the needle) while the stitches are being formed and offers the ability to move the project freely under the foot. The surface area of the #15 foot is larger than that of Darning Foot #9 or Freehand Embroidery Foot #24, giving perfect needle clearance and visibility. The rectangular shape and subtle curve at the front of the foot help it to maneuver over thickly stitched areas for smooth, continuous stitching.

 

     
Foot #16 Wide
Wide Gathering foot for 125-200
  • 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)
  • For applications where exact control of the gathering ratio is required, consider the use of the Bernina® Ruffler (# 86).
     
 

     
Foot #18
Button Sew-on Foot for 125-200
  • This foot makes it a breeze to sew on buttons, press studs/snap fasteners, hooks and eyes
  • There is an adjustable pin mounted to the front of the foot which will automatically create a thread shank. The thread shank can be made to the required length for a wide variety of applications, from blouse and shirts to heavy coats
  • The adjustable pin can be removed if a thread shank is not needed (as when hooks and eyes are sewn).
 

     
Foot #20
Open Embroidery foot for 125-200
  • The front of the foot is open, giving clearer visibility
    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)
  • On 9mm rotary models 1630 and 180, Foot #20C (9mm) allows the use of the wider decorative stitches these machines offer.
 

     
Foot #21
Braiding foot for 125-200
  • A hole in the front of the foot guides the cord or yarn so that you can focus on the stitching line
  • The deep groove under the foot accommodates the cord while it is being couched.
 

     
Foot #22
Cording Foot 3 grooves for 125-200
  • This foot is uniquely designed to guide the strands being couched while making it easy to insert the strands into the foot
  • A swing-out spring blade is mounted on top of the grooves. Swing the blade open and you have free access to the grooves. Simply close the blade and you are ready to sew.
  • A special slit on the side of the foot further facilitates the insertion of the strands
  • The three grooves in Foot #22 are larger (compared to Foot #25) to accommodate thicker threads, yarns or cords
  • For finer threads, yarns or cords, consider the use of Foot #25 (Cording Foot – 5 grooves).
 

     
Foot #23
Clear Appliqué Foot for 125-200
  • The clear sole of this foot makes it easier to track the stitching line for greater precision
  • The groove under the foot is designed to channel a precise 2mm satin stitch width. This narrow groove is the secret to accurate and finely detailed appliqué. The groove curves smoothly on both sides at the back of the foot, allowing free-form versatility in the line of stitching
  • The narrow groove in the sole makes this foot particularly well suited for making baby-cord piping as well.
 

     
Foot #24
Freehand Embroidery foot for 125-200
  • This foot is very similar in design to the regular darning Foot #9. However, its sole is open in the front for improved visibility. You can see the needle more clearly while stitching
  • 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.
 

     
Foot #25
Cording foot 5 groves for 125-200
  • A swing-out spring blade is mounted on top of the grooves. Swing the blade open and you have free access to the grooves. Simply close the blade and you are ready to sew
  • A special slit on the side of the foot further facilitates the insertion of the strands
  • The five grooves in Foot #25 are smaller (compared to Foot #22) to accommodate finer threads, yarns or cords
  • For coarser threads, yarns or cords, consider the use of Foot #22 (Cording Foot - 3 Grooves).
     
 

     
Foot #26
Teardrop Darning Foot

This embroidery foot has a special "teardrop" shaped cut-out which provides better fabric and thread control when embroidering.

 

     
Foot #29
Freehand Quilting foot for 125-200

For the 1000-1630 series:

  • The shank on Foot#29 is shorter than on Foot #29C, to accommodate thicker battings (for work with thinner batts, consider using Foot #29C
  • The large sole and opening in the foot make for good visibility when stitching in free motion

For the activa/virtuosa/artista line:

  • 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
  • The shank is the same length as that of Foot #29C. (Foot #29C is never required for models 130-170)
  • 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
  • Artista 180 users should consider Foot #29C as it is coded to allow the full 9mm swing of the needle
  • Note: given the preponderance of thin batts in the quilting market, Bernina® has modified the design of Foot #29 for the activa/virtuosa/artista line. The "new line" foot 29 is now essentially the same as foot 29C. Both feet have the same clear sole with a wide (9mm) opening. The only difference is that foot 29C for the artista 180 is "coded" to allow the 9mm stitch width, a feature not required on models 130-170).
