Quick Reference Guide to BERNINA Presser Feet, Attachments, and Accessories

Presser Feet:

• are Swiss-engineered for precision sewing of specific functions • are one-piece metal feet, making them strong and durable • are easy to change with one hand, requiring no special tools • have a white shank, making it easier to see the eye of the needle, resulting in easier threading • are, in some cases, modeled after commercial feet used in factories to increase speed and production with professional looking results • do the job intended in relation to all types of sewing (garment making, quilting, crafting, etc.) • are supported by the best and most complete educational materials in the industry such as Feet-ures, Volumes 1, 2, and 3 and the BERNINA website (www.berninausa.com)

Understanding the Numbers/Letters BERNINA presser feet are numbered and may have one or two additional versions with a letter that follows the number, such as Edgestitch Foot #10C or Jeans Foot #8D.

No Letter—The number without a letter refers to a foot engineered to be used with BERNINA models that have a CB Hook and a maximum stitch width of 5.5mm. These feet may also be compatible with models that have a 9mm width when a 9mm width is not applicable, such as when making pintucks with feet #30, 31, 32, or 33.

The Letter “C”—When a foot number is followed by a C, it indicates a version of the foot made for models that have rotary hook systems and a maximum stitch width of 9mm. The “C” stands for coded and refers to the sensor on the foot that works with the electronics of the machine to engage the wider stitch width (see page 8 for more information on sensors). The sole of the “C” foot is usually larger to fit the wider feed dogs of the rotary hook machines. Exceptions: Overlock Foot #2/2A: 2A is larger to fit the wider feed dog but does not have a sensor for a wider stitch because the overlock stitches are not used at wide widths. Extra Wide Gathering Foot #16C: 16C is larger to fit the wider feed dog but does not have a sensor for a wider stitch width.

The Letter “D”—The feet that have a number followed by a D are designed to work with the 8-Series (models 830 and 820) Dual Feed feature. After attaching the foot, the dual feed mechanism is positioned in the cutout on the back of the foot, engaging the BERNINA Dual Feed system. It is recommended that the D-Feet are used only when engaging the BERNINA Dual Feed feature.

(included). Designed to fit feed dog of models that stitch up to 9mm in width. Has separate guide.

Coded Feet The current sensor of the coded feet enables the foot to sense the stitch width—5mm or 9mm. Coded feet will be manufactured with a new sensor that detects the stitch width and is also part of the new presser foot recognition System of the 8-Series machines.

Other points to know: “old” sensor “new” sensor • All existing classic feet, the C-feet and all feet without sensor, can be used with the BERNINA 820 & 830. • The 9mm detection is the same with "old" C-feet and with new C-feet. • A foot without a sensor will be detected as a 5.5mm foot. This means straight stitch feet will not be detected automatically but each mounted foot can be selected from the list of the touch screen.
