Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the bernette Gathering Foot compatible with?

This gathering foot is designed specifically for the bernette B33 and bernette B35 sewing machines. It will not fit other bernette models or other brands.

How does a gathering foot work?

The gathering foot has a raised sole that does not lie flat against the feed dog. This causes the fabric to feed unevenly, creating automatic gathers as you sew. The amount of gathering can be adjusted by changing your stitch length and tension settings.

What projects is the gathering foot best for?

The gathering foot is perfect for creating ruffles on garments, adding gathered skirts or sleeves, making smocked details, creating gathered seams in quilts, and adding ruffled edges to home décor items like pillows and curtains.

Do I need special thread or settings to use the gathering foot?

No special thread is required. You can use regular sewing thread. For best results, experiment with your stitch length and tension settings on scrap fabric—longer stitches and higher tension typically create fuller gathers.

Is the gathering foot difficult to use for beginners?

The gathering foot is beginner-friendly and much easier than traditional hand-gathering methods. After a few test runs on scrap fabric to find your preferred settings, you'll be able to create beautiful, even gathers quickly and consistently.
