Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the bernette Overlock Foot compatible with?

This presser foot is designed specifically for the bernette B37 and bernette B38 sewing machines. It is not compatible with other bernette models or brands.

Do I still need a serger if I have this foot?

While the Overlock Foot creates serger-like edge finishing on your sewing machine, it cannot replace all serger functions. A dedicated serger cuts, stitches, and finishes in one step with multiple threads. This foot is excellent for occasional overlock stitching and knit construction, but frequent garment sewers may still benefit from owning both.

What types of fabrics work best with the Overlock Foot?

The Overlock Foot excels with knit fabrics including jersey, interlock, rib knits, and other stretch materials. It is also suitable for woven fabrics when you need professional edge finishing, though it performs especially well on fabrics that require flexibility in the seam.

What stitches should I use with this foot?

Use overlock or overcast stitches built into your bernette B37 or B38 machine. Consult your machine's manual to identify the recommended stitch numbers and settings for overlock functions, which typically include multiple zigzag stitches that work with this specialty foot.

Is this foot suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Overlock Foot is beginner-friendly once you become familiar with your machine's overlock stitches. It attaches like any standard presser foot and provides an accessible way to learn professional edge finishing techniques without the complexity of operating a separate serger.
