Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between BERNINA Patchwork Foot #57D and #37?
- The #57D includes a built-in seam guide along the right edge of the foot, while the #37 does not have this guide. The guide on the #57D makes it easier to maintain perfectly straight seams by positioning it against fabric edges or seam lines. Both feet are designed for 1/4" and 1/8" seam allowances, but the #57D offers enhanced precision guidance.
- Which BERNINA machines is this foot compatible with?
- The Patchwork Foot with Guide #57D is designed exclusively for 9mm BERNINA machines equipped with the Dual Feed system. This includes the 5 Series (570 QE, 590), 7 Series (710, 740, 750 QE, 770 QE, 780, 790), and 8 Series (820 QE, 830, 880, 880 PLUS) machines.
- Can I use this foot for seam allowances other than 1/4" and 1/8"?
- While the #57D is specifically designed and marked for 1/4" (6mm) and 1/8" (3mm) seam allowances, the built-in guide can be used for any straight sewing where you need to follow a fabric edge or seam line. The three notches provide the most accurate guidance at the specified measurements.
- Do I need the Dual Feed engaged to use this foot?
- The #57D is designed to work with BERNINA's Dual Feed system and requires a machine equipped with this feature. You can use the foot with the Dual Feed engaged or disengaged depending on your project needs, but your machine must have the Dual Feed capability to accommodate this foot.
- Is this foot suitable for foundation paper piecing?
- Yes, the Patchwork Foot with Guide #57D is excellent for foundation paper piecing. The built-in guide helps you maintain consistent 1/4" seam allowances, which is critical for accurate paper piecing. The guide edge can be positioned along your paper foundation line for precise stitching.
