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!

[@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.

[@user-lr3td5lk1e]

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.

[@Zawjatulmo]

Absolutely love your videos. Thank you!

[@k3of5ks]

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

[@JoanieOzment]

Great video!! Learned so much!

[@kayrigert6746]

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

[@ConnieJohlfs-do7pe]

Thank you for the demonstration.

[@Zawjatulmo]

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

[@lindaloostrom7025]

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

[@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372]

I love this foot.

[@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…

[@glendacarter3185]

Good video

[@sandan2358]

I use the walking foot to machine stitch binding!

[@deborahclement4508]

Thank you so much! I learned a few tips for a baby quilt I am getting ready to make!

[@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.

[@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

[@tinam4353]

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

Hi Gayle, can you tell me how wide you cut the binding?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Any where from 2 1/4” to 2 1/2”

Hi my machine is a Bernina 530-2 record, which walking foot would fit this machine? Sibylle

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]

Can you purchase only the edgestitched guide for my old Bernina walking foot

[@nommh]

Good to know!

[@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.

[@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.

[@justindillehay7736]

Good video but I never sew that fast with the walking foot on.

@@carollyons5522 you do not need to remove the screw to put it on. When I’m back from BU I can send you a video of putting it on. Email [e-mail] so I have your email.
