Bernina Pintuck Attachment

The BERNINA Pintuck Attachment is a precision accessory designed for sewists who want to add beautifully raised, corded pintucks to garments, heirloom projects, and home décor. By guiding cording through a dedicated channel and working in tandem with a pintuck foot, this attachment feeds cording directly into each pintuck as you sew — producing a consistent, dimensional relief effect that would be difficult to achieve freehand. It is compatible with BERNINA 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines across a wide range of models, making it a versatile addition to any BERNINA sewing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the BERNINA Pintuck Attachment do?

The BERNINA Pintuck Attachment guides cording through a dedicated channel beneath the fabric as you sew. When used together with a BERNINA pintuck foot, the cording is automatically stitched into each pintuck, creating a beautifully raised, dimensional relief effect. It simplifies the process of sewing uniform corded pintucks across a project.

Which BERNINA machines is this attachment compatible with?

The Pintuck Attachment is compatible with BERNINA 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines across a wide range of models, including older numbered series (e.g., 125 through 730) and current B series machines (e.g., B 215 through B 880 PLUS). It is not compatible with the BERNINA Classic Series. Please review the full compatibility list on this page to confirm your specific model.

Do I need a separate pintuck foot to use this attachment?

Yes. The Pintuck Attachment works in combination with a BERNINA pintuck foot. The foot stitches the pintuck while the attachment channels the cording into place. If you do not already own a BERNINA pintuck foot compatible with your machine, you will need to purchase one separately.

What type of projects benefit most from the Pintuck Attachment?

This attachment is especially well-suited for heirloom sewing, children's garments, blouses, and decorative home décor items where raised pintucks add texture and elegance. It is a popular tool for sewists who work with batiste, lawn, or other fine fabrics commonly used in smocking and heirloom techniques.
