Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this foot compatible with?

This darning and embroidery foot is designed specifically for the bernette B37 and bernette B38 sewing machines.

Do I need to drop the feed dogs when using this foot?

Yes, for free motion sewing and darning with this foot, you should lower or cover your feed dogs according to your machine's instructions. This allows you to control the fabric movement manually for precise stitching.

Can I use this foot without an embroidery hoop?

Yes, you can use this foot without a hoop, though using an embroidery hoop helps stabilize the fabric and makes darning and free motion work easier, especially for beginners. The hoop keeps fabric taut for more consistent results.

What's the difference between darning and free motion embroidery with this foot?

The foot serves both purposes. Darning focuses on repairing holes and worn areas by filling them with stitches, while free motion embroidery is a creative technique for adding decorative designs, monograms, and embellishments. Both require the same foot and similar techniques.

Is this foot suitable for beginners learning free motion sewing?

Yes, this foot is well-suited for beginners learning free motion techniques. Start with simple darning projects or practice stitching on scrap fabric with a hoop to develop control and confidence before moving to more complex embroidery work.
