Bernina Pintuck Foot with 7 Grooves #32

The BERNINA Pintuck Foot with 7 Grooves #32 is designed for sewists who want to create beautifully raised, parallel pintucks on fine to medium-weight fabrics. This specialized presser foot works with a 2mm double needle to produce professional decorative effects including smocking, entredeux, fagotting, and mini-piping. The seven evenly spaced grooves on the foot's sole guide previously sewn pintucks to ensure perfectly parallel rows every time, while the center cutout provides clear visibility of the needle area for precise control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size double needle should I use with this foot?

The BERNINA Pintuck Foot with 7 Grooves #32 is designed to work with a 2mm double needle for optimal pintuck formation. Using the correct needle size ensures the stitching lines align properly with the grooves on the foot.

What fabric weights work best with this pintuck foot?

This foot is designed for fine to medium-weight fabrics such as cotton lawn, batiste, broadcloth, silk, voile, and chambray. Heavier fabrics may not produce the characteristic raised pintuck effect and may require a different pintuck foot with wider grooves.

How do the seven grooves help create parallel pintucks?

After sewing your first pintuck, you guide it into one of the grooves on the foot's sole as you sew the next row. The groove holds the previous pintuck in place and maintains consistent spacing, allowing you to create up to seven perfectly parallel rows without measuring or marking.

Can I use this foot for techniques other than pintucks?

Yes, the Pintuck Foot #32 is versatile and can be used for smocking, entredeux work, fagotting, and sewing mini-piping or decorative trimmings. The grooves and center cutout make it useful for any technique requiring precise parallel stitching lines.
