  • October Newsletter

    Bernina Accessory of the month


    Perfect for thick materials -For straight stitching over thick seams and on multilayer materials -For denim, canvas, travel bags, etc. -For optimal results, use the straight-stitch plate -For 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines

    Jeans foot #8 is especially suited for sewing straight-stitched seams in tough, heavy fabrics such as denim, linen or canvas. Multi-layered fabrics also benefit from its special design.

    When combined with the straight-stitch plate and its narrow needle opening, which gives the needle the greatest possible stability, the flat sole of this foot makes it easier for the foot to glide over the thick layers of fabric.

    Jeans foot #8 is also ideal for straight-stitching medium weight and thin materials. Please note that the new BERNINA Dual Feed only works with type-D presser feet

  • September Newsletter

    Bernina Accessory of the month

    For decorative circles and semicircles -Can be used for different diameters -Use with utility, decorative stitches or alphabets -Also suitable for appliquéing ribbons -For 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines

    The attachment is screwed to the freearm. The center of rotation can be either to the right or left of the needle, with the attaching screw lying flat enough to allow the fabric to feed smoothly over it. A diameter of between 1 inch and 5-5/16 inches (2.5 cm and 13.5 cm) can be set on the slide.

    The fabric must be properly reinforced for circular embroidery, so 2-3 layers of stabilizer should be placed under your project. The fabric is put onto the pin at the center of the desired circle and held in place with a rubber cap to prevent shifting during sewing. The Circular Embroidery Attachment can be used in conjunction with various presser feet, and will enable you to sew circles with any decorative stitches you wish, and even arrange lettering in a circle.
