Description
The BERNINA Buttonhole Leveler is a practical sewing accessory designed for anyone who sews buttonholes near finished edges, seams, or on fabrics of varying thickness. When the Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A or #3C encounters uneven surfaces, the foot can tilt, throwing off the balance and consistency of the buttonhole. This leveler slips into place to compensate for that height difference, keeping the foot level and the feed smooth so your buttonholes come out even and professional from start to finish.
Key Features
- Corrects for uneven fabric heights when sewing buttonholes near seams, finished edges, or thick layers.
- Designed to work specifically with the BERNINA Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A and #3C.
- Keeps the presser foot level during stitching, preventing skipped stitches and uneven satin columns.
- Compact and simple to position — just place it on the opposite side of the foot from the raised surface.
- Compatible with a wide range of BERNINA sewing machines that accept standard BERNINA feet.
- Made to BERNINA's manufacturing standards for consistent, reliable performance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the BERNINA Buttonhole Leveler do?
- The Buttonhole Leveler compensates for height differences in your fabric when sewing buttonholes near finished edges, seams, or on multi-layered materials. By keeping the Buttonhole Foot with Slide level, it helps ensure even, consistent buttonholes rather than ones that tilt or stitch unevenly due to the foot rocking on an uneven surface.
- Which BERNINA presser feet does this leveler work with?
- The Buttonhole Leveler is designed specifically for use with the BERNINA Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A and the Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3C. It is not intended for use with other buttonhole feet.
- How do I use the Buttonhole Leveler?
- Position the Buttonhole Leveler on the opposite side of the presser foot from the raised surface — for example, if you are sewing near a seam on the right side of the foot, place the leveler under the left side of the foot. This balances the foot so it sits level and feeds evenly through the machine.
- Is the BERNINA Buttonhole Leveler compatible with my machine?
- The Buttonhole Leveler is compatible with a wide range of BERNINA machines that accept the Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A or #3C. This includes many models in the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Series. If you are unsure whether it works with your specific model, contact OSP Machines and the team will confirm compatibility for you.
- What warranty and support come with this accessory?
- OSP Machines is an authorized BERNINA dealer and provides free support for the life of your machine. If you have any questions about using or setting up your Buttonhole Leveler, the OSP Machines support team is available to help at no charge, for as long as you own the product.
