Frequently Asked Questions

What types of thread can I use with the BERNINA Cordonnet Foot #11?

The Cordonnet Foot #11 is designed for cordonnet thread, heavy topstitching thread, sashiko thread, and other thick decorative threads. The 2-mm groove on the sole accommodates these heavier threads and allows them to feed smoothly without bunching or skipping stitches.

What needle should I use with this foot?

Use a needle with a sufficiently large eye to accommodate heavy thread, such as a topstitching needle or embroidery needle in a larger size. Pair it with normal bobbin thread and adjust your upper thread tension as needed for balanced stitches.

Is this foot compatible with my BERNINA machine?

The Cordonnet Foot #11 works with both 5.5 mm and 9 mm BERNINA machines, including models from the entry-level B 215 through the 7 Series. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model is supported.

Can I use this foot for regular sewing with standard thread?

While the Cordonnet Foot #11 can be used with standard thread, it's specifically designed for heavy decorative threads. For regular sewing, a standard presser foot will provide better results. This foot excels when you need the deep groove to accommodate thicker thread.

What is sashiko and can I create these patterns with this foot?

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that uses heavy thread to create geometric running stitch patterns. The Cordonnet Foot #11 is ideal for sashiko because the deep groove allows the thick sashiko thread to feed smoothly while maintaining even, visible stitches that are characteristic of this decorative style.
