Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this foot and other quilting feet?

The BERNINA Quilting Foot #29 features a vertical spring mechanism that holds the fabric flat and prevents flagging, plus a clear sole for better visibility. This combination makes it especially effective for free-motion quilting, stippling, and thread painting where you need precise control and a clear view of your work.

Can I use this foot for regular sewing or only for quilting?

While the Quilting Foot #29 is specifically designed for free-motion quilting techniques, it can be used for any project where you need to move fabric freely under the needle. It works best when you drop or cover your feed dogs and control fabric movement manually, making it ideal for stippling, thread painting, and contour quilting.

How do I know if this foot fits my BERNINA machine?

The Quilting Foot #29 fits BERNINA machines with 5.5mm and 9mm hook systems. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model. If you have a BERNINA 125 through 880 PLUS series machine, this foot will work with your machine.

Do I need to drop my feed dogs when using this foot?

Yes, for free-motion quilting with Foot #29, you should drop or cover your feed dogs. This allows you to move the fabric freely in any direction while the vertical spring keeps the fabric flat against the throat plate for consistent stitch formation.

What comes in the box with this presser foot?

The package includes the BERNINA Quilting Foot #29 presser foot. As an authorized dealer, OSP Machines provides free lifetime support to help you learn to use this foot effectively for all your quilting projects.
