Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BERNINA Reverse Pattern Snap-on Sole #1 used for?

The Reverse Pattern Sole #1 is designed for sewing forward and reverse-feed stitches on medium to heavyweight fabrics. It excels at utility and decorative stitching, waistbands, and hems on materials like corduroy, denim, and wool. The cut-outs in front and behind the needle opening provide excellent visibility and fabric control.

What do I need to use this presser foot on my BERNINA machine?

This foot requires BERNINA Snap-on Shank #78 to attach to your machine. If your BERNINA came with a snap-on shank or is listed among the compatible models (such as the B475QE or 9 series machines), this foot will work with your machine. The shank is sold separately if not already included with your machine.

Can beginners use the Reverse Pattern Sole #1?

Yes, this presser foot is suitable for sewists of all skill levels. The specialized design actually makes it easier to achieve consistent results when sewing heavier fabrics or working with reverse-feed stitches. The side slot for thread positioning and excellent fabric visibility make it user-friendly even for those new to working with specialty feet.

How is this different from a standard presser foot?

The Reverse Pattern Sole #1 features unique cut-outs positioned in front of and behind the needle opening, which are specifically designed to accommodate stitches that move both forward and backward. This design provides better fabric feed and visibility compared to a standard foot when working with decorative stitches or heavier materials. The side slot also makes threading more convenient.

Will this foot work for topstitching jeans and hemming heavyweight fabrics?

Absolutely. This foot is specifically engineered for heavy fabrics like denim, corduroy, and wool. The specialized sole design ensures excellent fabric feed and consistent stitch quality, making it ideal for topstitching, hemming, and waistband construction on heavyweight materials where standard feet might struggle.
