Stitch Overview bernette bernette 05 ACADEMY
Finger Guard
The finger guard is an easy safety appliance and keeps your fingers clear from the needle. Especially suitable for children and beginning sewers, this presser foot completes your accessory assortment perfectly.
Seam Guide Right
An invaluable tool for achieving straight edges and parallel seams.
Button Sew-On Foot
With this presser foot not only buttons of different sizes can be sewn on but also rings or hooks. The Button sew-on foot provides a slip-resistant sole so that the button cannot slip away.
Invisible Zipper Foot
This foot is simply perfect to sew in zippers. As the zipper is invisible afterwards, an especially elegant look is achieved.
Extension Table
More luxury with an extended sewing surface.
Bobbins
The bernette bobbins always maintain the thread tension consistent. It enables you to produce accurate sewing and embroidery projects.
Darning- / Embroidery Foot
This foot is a true specialist for free motion sewing and it is best suitable to darn holes and worn areas. Used together with an embroidery hoop, the darning process can be simplified as the hoop stabilizes the fabric.
Open Embroidery Foot
This foot makes quick work of appliqués and embroidery projects, as well as the sewing over of lines and patterns. The open shape ensures a clear view of the seam, and is therefore ideal for sewing on tapes and ribbon.
Hemmer Foot
This special presser foot serves the purpose to create professional-looking seams. It folds the fabric twice which results in a nice rollhem which is then properly fixed by the needle with a straight stitch.
Edgestitch Foot
This presser foot with guide facilitates the topstitching of edges, hems and pleats; helpful for sewing on lace or tapes, and for reinforcing edges. The guide helps you achieve flawless seams and hems that run parallel to the edge.
Blindstitch Foot
This foot is most suitable to sew blindhems or to topstitch edges. The stitches only pierce the hem so that the stitch holes are hardly visible on the right side of the fabric.
Zipper Foot
Due to the narrow shape, zippers in various versions can be sewn in easily. The fabric is fed evenly while you can sew along the coils very closely.
Overlock Foot
The Overlock Foot facilitates finishing edges professionally and sewing seams similar to overlocking. It is also particularly suitable to create decorative cuffs and seams in the most common knitware fabrics.
Buttonhole Foot with Slide
The buttonholes can be sewn easily in different versions and either with or without using cord. Any number of buttonholes can be sewn at exactly the same length.
Zigzag Foot
The Zigzag presser foot is a true all-rounder and is suitable for all the common sewing works. It is also optimal for special sewing projects.
Zigzag Foot with Non-Stick Sole
The non-stick sole ensures smooth riding over difficult-to-feed materials such as leather, plastic, vinyl or similar.
