Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the non-stick sole different from a regular zipper foot?

The non-stick coating on the sole allows the foot to glide smoothly over sticky fabrics like leather, vinyl, and plastic without dragging or creating unwanted friction. A standard zipper foot can stick to these materials, causing puckering and uneven stitching.

Can I use this foot for topstitching and edgestitching?

Yes, the adjustable guide on top of the foot makes it excellent for topstitching and edgestitching. You can position the guide to maintain consistent, parallel seams at your desired distance from the edge or zipper.

Will this foot work with my BERNINA machine?

This foot is compatible with both 5.5 mm and 9 mm BERNINA machines. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model is included. If you're unsure, contact OSP Machines for assistance.

Can I sew invisible zippers with this foot?

This foot is designed for standard zipper insertion and topstitching. For invisible zippers, BERNINA offers a specialized Invisible Zipper Foot that's better suited to that technique.

What other projects can I use this foot for besides zippers?

This foot excels at attaching piping, sewing close to thick seams, and creating decorative edge finishes on any fabric that benefits from the non-stick sole. It's particularly useful for bag making, outerwear construction, and upholstery projects.
