Frequently Asked Questions

What size double needle should I use with this pintuck foot?

The BERNINA Pintuck Foot with 5 Grooves #31 is designed to work with double needles up to 3mm wide. The width between the needles should correspond to the width of the grooves on the foot for best results and properly formed pintucks.

What weight fabrics work best with this pintuck foot?

This foot is specifically designed for medium-weight fabrics. For lighter or heavier fabrics, BERNINA offers other pintuck feet with different groove depths and spacing to accommodate various fabric weights.

How do the five grooves help with pintuck spacing?

The five parallel grooves on the underside of the foot guide previously sewn pintucks, ensuring consistent spacing between rows. As you sew additional rows, the raised tucks nestle into the grooves, maintaining perfectly even distances automatically.
