Bernina Zigzag Hemmer 6mm #66

The BERNINA Zigzag Hemmer #66 creates professional double-fold hems on medium-weight fabrics with speed and precision. This specialized presser foot automatically folds the fabric twice as it feeds through the scroll, then secures the hem with a zigzag or decorative stitch up to 6mm wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fabric work best with the Zigzag Hemmer #66?

This foot is designed specifically for medium-weight fabrics such as quilting cotton, linen, lightweight denim, chambray, and similar materials. It creates a 6mm finished hem that works beautifully on garments, home décor projects, and quilts made from these fabric weights.

How do I know if this foot is compatible with my BERNINA machine?

The Zigzag Hemmer #66 works with BERNINA machines that accommodate 5.5mm and 9mm stitch widths. Check the compatible machines list on this page to confirm your specific model. If you have questions about compatibility, contact OSP Machines for assistance.

Can I use straight stitches with this hemmer foot?

While this foot is designed primarily for zigzag and decorative stitches up to 6mm wide, the double-fold feature works best with a zigzag stitch to secure the hem layers. The zigzag stitch provides durability and allows the fabric to feed smoothly through the scroll mechanism.

Is this foot difficult to use for beginners?

The Zigzag Hemmer #66 does require a bit of practice to master feeding the fabric into the scroll correctly, but once you understand the technique, it becomes quite easy. Beginners should practice on fabric scraps first to get comfortable with the feeding process and stitch settings.

What's the difference between this and other BERNINA hemmer feet?

The Zigzag Hemmer #66 is specifically sized for 6mm hems and designed for medium-weight fabrics. BERNINA offers other hemmer feet in different widths for various hem sizes and fabric weights. The #66 is ideal when you need a slightly wider decorative hem on everyday sewing projects.
