Bernina Sewing Machine - Presser Feet

Presser Feet

The snap-on presser foot is a patented invention of Fritz Gegauf’s. The foot is released with a lever and can be effortlessly replaced by a different presser foot. There are nearly one hundred special presser feet in the BERNINA range, some of which are produced by hand in Steckborn. Examples are the cording foot, with which cord, ribbons and tape can be guided along directly under the needle and sewn on precisely with a subsequently invisible straight stitch rather than a zigzag stitch; the ruffler, which effortlessly ruffles, gathers and pleats fabric, and the walking foot, which supports the feeding of especially “sticky” fabrics that tend to shift, or that need to fit especially accurately on top of each other. Various zipper feet, embroidery and patchwork feet, and bulky overlock feet, as well as a darning and an appliqué foot also form part of the range.
