BERNINA Walking Foot

[@janelicata5328]

I can’t believe after owning Berninas for 20 years that I never knew how to properly add the walking foot seam guide until watching this video. Thank you so much!

[@NancyHarder-u7x]

I have watched several videos on this foot. Yours is by far the best video out there. You tell what all the parts are for and show how to put it on the machine. Great job!

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Thank you so much. Please spread the word!

[@janeacord9973]

Great video! I learn so much from watching you actually use the feet. Thank you!

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Yes, we made a video in that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXayZpmYf96Ziq8

[@christinalecomte4216]

Thank you so much! I watched other videos about this foot and got nowhere near as much out of it, in fact I did it all wrong and the manual that comes with this foot is totally useless. Feeling enlightened now.

[@k3of5ks]

Great video. Thank you! I mainly sew garments and don’t want to ever be without my walking foot.

[@njame2137]

excellent help as the booklet is not haha, glad you covered the 4 series too - thank you

[@kayrigert6746]

You make attaching the foot look so easy!! Thanks for the binding lesson! I am going to try this!

[@Zawjatulmo]

Great video. ThankYou I had no clue that there was something to hold that seam guide on,

[@nommh]

Oh, my Bernina dealer in Germany told me I could not use the walking foot I had bought for my 152dressmaker on my 2020 480 Bernina. And the one you show here looks so similar that I finallly tried to old foot on the new machine and it walked just fine…

[@lindaloostrom7025]

There is a hand quilt ‘look’ stitch I use on my 570. It looks wonderful.

[@cat267]

Thank you so much for the video. I have a new 475 Bernina. This video really helped me learn and understand how to use this.

[@sandan2358]

I use the walking foot to machine stitch binding!

[@Sarah-l7f6o]

Hi great video, just a quick question, can we use the walking foot instead of the blindstitch foot #5? the walking foot has 3 type of attachements. I have a bernina 1008. Is it worth me investing in the blind stitch foot or will the walking foot suffice? Thanks so much.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

A #5 blind stitch foot is used for blind hemming and has an obstruction at the center needle to give lift to the blind stitching. This task is not recommended for a walking foot with the central guide sole. The central guide sole on a walking foot is not meant for voice hemming, it is for topstitching (bindings, waistbands, etc). The 1008 comes with a bound hem snap on foot. The number is stamped on the actual metal foot.

[@Zawjatulmo]

Absolutely love your videos. Thank you!

[@blueyucca011]

I am hoping you can help me. I just purchased a walking foot. It was working fine until the fork kept coming off the needle clamp. I don't think the feed dogs on the walking foot are working correctly. Would you be able to help me troubleshoot the issue?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Please visit your local dealer for sales and service

[@patmccaffrey4304]

I am seeing binding with walking foot and it keeps skipping stitches, I believe due to thickness of multiple fabric layers plus batting. How can I fix this?

[@patmccaffrey4304]

Sewing binding

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

@@patmccaffrey4304 change your needle to make sure that it is not bent. Have you machine serviced by an actual BERNINA service center.

Great video!! Learned so much!

Which walking foot fits the 930 Record? Would love a demo of the dual feed foot too and a comparison! Thanks

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

We have made tons of videos featuring the dual feed feature. Here is the link to the correct walking foot for a BERNINA 930 Record. www.berninaofnaperville.com/products/50-walking-foot-three-soles-old-style?_pos=6&_sid=a1128c266&_ss=r

Do you know it this foot will fit a Bernina activa 135?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

@@deesmith4800 yes it will. You have a choice of red or white. Just avoid the walking foot that states it is for old style or legacy machines. www.berninaofnaperville.com/search?q=Walking

Any where from 2 1/4” to 2 1/2”

Good to know!

[@maryjones2443]

Does Bernia have magnetic hoops, can you purchase the stitch inn ditch foot for the walking foot I have for artista

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

I would advise against the magnetic hoops which are not made by bernina. They do not hold well and I’ve had them disengage while embroidering. The bernina hoops are the best on the market and work well.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Here’s the sole with central guide for your artista. www.berninaofnaperville.com/products/walking-foot-sole-with-central-guide?_pos=1&_sid=70fb3df3e&_ss=r

[@twisterking1963]

Can you explain how the movement of the needle is related to the movement of the fabric? Because the stitch length and direction of the feed has nothing to do with the movement of the needle. So if this device would feed the upper layer of the fabric it would be a mess. It's just a gimmick and can't be compared to real upper feed.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

This walking foot has been tried and true for years. If you want basic engineering instruction and physics advice on this product, our recommendation would be to reach out to BERNINA international as we sell the product, we are not the designers.

[@ToddGreenwich]

Obviously it's feeding with the needle up.

[@twisterking1963]

@@ToddGreenwich Disengage your bottom feed and see how well it works. It doesn't.

[@ToddGreenwich]

@@twisterking1963 😂 because the fabric is gripped between the two feeds duhh

[@twisterking1963]

@@ToddGreenwich That's why I said to disengage the bottom feed. Then the walking foot transports the fabric on its own. It doesn't, believe me. It;s just a gimmick. Needle movement has nothing to do with transport. So a device driven by the needle movement shouldn't be called walking foot because it implies transportation of the fabric. And it doesn't. I'm a sewing machine technician btw.

[@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372]

I love this foot.
