Description
The Bernina Patchwork Seam Snap-on Sole #37 is purpose-built for quilters and patchwork sewists who demand precise seam allowances. Designed to work with straight stitching, this foot produces consistent 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch (6 mm and 3 mm) seam allowances — the standard measurements used in quilt piecing and patchwork construction. Three evenly spaced notches on the side of the foot provide reliable lateral guidance, and a narrow thread channel groove beneath the flat sole keeps fabric feeding smoothly for clean, accurate seams.
