Frequently Asked Questions

Which bernette machines is this gathering foot compatible with?

This gathering foot is designed specifically for the bernette B77 and B79 sewing machines. It is not compatible with other bernette models.

How does the gathering foot create ruffles automatically?

The gathering foot has an elevated sole that does not lie flat on the feed dog, which causes the fabric to feed unevenly through the machine. This uneven feeding automatically creates gathers and ruffles as you sew, eliminating the need to manually baste and pull threads.

Can I adjust how full the gathers are?

Yes, you can control the fullness of the gathers by adjusting your stitch length and tension settings. Longer stitch lengths and higher tension typically create fuller gathers, while shorter stitches and lower tension produce gentler gathering effects.

What types of projects is the gathering foot best for?

The gathering foot is ideal for garment sewing projects with ruffled details like sleeves, skirts, and collars, as well as home décor items such as pillow edges, curtains, and bedding. Quilters also use it to add textured embellishments to their projects.

Is the gathering foot included with the bernette B77 or B79, or sold separately?

The gathering foot is a specialty accessory sold separately from the bernette B77 and B79 machines. It allows you to expand your sewing capabilities beyond the standard presser feet included with your machine.
