Bernette Presser Feet

Selecting the right presser foot for your Bernette sewing machine is key to achieving the best stitch quality and performance. Start by identifying your machine’s model number, which can usually be found on the machine’s body or in the user manual. This ensures you choose compatible accessories.

Next, check the Bernette Accessories Catalog, which lists available presser feet along with their corresponding machine models. This helps you find the right presser foot for your specific machine. Bernette also offers presser foot sets tailored to particular models. For example, the Presser Foot Set for b77 / b79 includes eight presser feet designed for the Bernette 77, 79, and 79 Yaya Han Edition. Meanwhile, the Presser Foot Set for b42 / b48 / b62 / b68 is designed for models like the Bernette 42 FUNLOCK, 48 FUNLOCK, 68 AIRLOCK, and 62 AIRLOCK, offering a variety of presser feet for specialized tasks.

If you're unsure about compatibility, an authorized Bernette dealer can provide expert guidance and recommendations based on your machine and sewing needs. Some third-party manufacturers also offer compatible presser feet, but it's important to verify their quality and compatibility before purchasing.

While some Bernette models may work with certain Bernina presser feet, compatibility isn’t guaranteed for all machines. Using a generic low shank adapter for snap-on feet could allow compatibility with certain Bernette models, but this method may not be suitable for every machine.

To ensure the best performance and prevent potential damage, it's always a good idea to check with an authorized Bernina or Bernette dealer. They can offer expert advice on the right accessories for your specific machine.

Understanding the difference between snap-on and screw-on presser feet can help you choose the right accessories for your Bernette sewing machine.

Snap-On Presser Feet attach easily to the presser foot holder via a small bar. Simply lower the holder onto the foot until it clicks into place. These feet allow for quick swaps without any tools, making them ideal for frequent changes. They are commonly used with both high and low shank machines that have a snap-on system, though some brands may require specific adapters.

Screw-On Presser Feet attach directly to the machine’s shank using a screw, requiring the removal of the presser foot holder and securing the foot with a screwdriver. This type offers a more stable connection, making it great for tasks that require precision. However, screw-on feet are typically designed for specific shank types (high or low) and may need adapters for compatibility with different machines.

Here’s a simple guide to attaching and removing a presser foot on your sewing machine. To attach a presser foot, first, turn off your machine to prevent accidental operation. Raise the needle to its highest position using the handwheel and lift the presser foot with the lever. Position the desired presser foot beneath the holder, aligning its pin with the holder’s groove. Lower the presser foot holder gently until the foot snaps into place, then give it a slight tug to ensure it's securely attached. To remove a presser foot, switch off the machine for safety, then raise both the needle and presser foot. Press the release lever or button on the back of the presser foot holder, then slide the foot away.

Choosing the right presser foot for your Bernette sewing machine is essential for achieving precise, professional-quality stitching. Start by identifying your project type—whether it's quilting, embroidery, garment construction, or working with heavy fabrics—as well as considering fabric characteristics like weight, stretch, and texture. Bernette offers a range of presser feet tailored for specific tasks, such as the Patchwork Foot with Guide for precise seams, the Hemmer Foot for neat rolled hems, the Border Guide Foot for evenly spaced decorative stitching, and the Walking Foot for smooth feeding of tricky fabrics. For added versatility, multi-piece presser foot sets like the b77/b79 set (which includes a Gathering Foot, Open Embroidery Foot, and Patchwork Foot) or the 10-piece kit for b37/b38 (with a Zigzag Foot, Straight-Stitch Foot, and Invisible Zipper Foot) expand your machine’s capabilities. Always check compatibility with your specific Bernette model to ensure proper function. 

To make the best choice, consult your machine’s user manual, explore Bernette’s official website, or visit an authorized dealer for expert guidance.

After each sewing session, remove the presser foot and wipe away any dust, lint, or fabric bits with a soft brush or lint-free cloth to keep stitches precise. For a more thorough clean, wash the presser foot in warm, soapy water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush before rinsing and drying completely to prevent rust, use a microfiber cloth or a safe metal polish to restore their look. Store them in a dry, dust-free container to avoid moisture damage. Regularly check for wear or misalignment, and replace any damaged presser feet to ensure top-notch sewing performance.

If your Bernette presser foot isn’t attaching correctly, try these troubleshooting steps:

First, confirm that the presser foot is compatible with your specific Bernette model. Using the wrong accessory can cause attachment problems.

Next, check for lint or debris around the presser foot holder, as buildup can prevent a secure fit. Clean the area thoroughly before reattaching the foot.

Inspect both the presser foot and its holder for any damage or wear. Even small misalignments can affect attachment, so ensure everything lines up properly.

Follow the correct attachment process by referring to your machine’s user manual. Some presser feet click into place, while others need to be manually secured—double-check for a firm fit.

If the foot feels loose, see if your model has adjustment screws on the presser foot holder. Gently tightening them can improve stability.

If none of these steps work, the issue could be mechanical. Reach out to Bernette customer support or visit Topstitch authorized service center for expert assistance.
