With this presser foot not only buttons of different sizes can be sewn on but also rings or hooks. The bernette button sew-on foot provides a slip-resistant sole so that the button cannot slip away.
Instruction
Switch off the machine. Attach the foot as described in the instruction manual.
Applications:
- Sewing on buttons
Stitch type: zigzag stitch
Stitch width: 4 mm, adjusted according to the button
Needle position: centre
Feed dog: lowered/covered
Place the button onto the fabric and move them both under the presser foot. Lower the needle into the left hole of the button by turning the handwheel. Lower the presser foot to hold the button in position, ensuring that the button is aligned correctly. Using the hand wheel, check that the needle goes into the right hole. Adjust the stitch width if necessary. Sew several stitches. Cut the threads long enough, use a hand sewing needle to pull the upper thread to the back and tie off the threads.
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on the button and sew.
For buttons with four holes, sew the front two holes first, then move the sewing forwards and sew the back two holes.
bernette Binder attachment for pre-folded bias tape (b33/b35)
The Binder attachment serves to bind edges with pre-folded or not pre-folded bias tape in a finished width of 5 to 7 mm, which are sewn with a utility or decorative stitch.
Instruction
Switch off the machine. Attach the foot as described in the instruction manual.
Applications:
Binding edges with bias binding
Stitch type: straight stitch (alternative: narrow zigzag)
Stitch length: 2 - 2.5 mm (or as required)
Needle position: centre
Feed dog: raised
Prefolded bias binding
It is possible to use bias binding with a width of 10-14 mm (final width 5-7 mm).
Non-prefolded bias binding
It is possible to use bias binding with a width of 23 mm (final width 5-7 mm).
Cut the bias binding diagonally at the start, insert into the guide of the binder, and if necessary push it through the hole with a needle or a pair of small scissors. Guide the bias binding backwards under the foot. Insert the edge of the fabric to be bound into the guide between the binding. If necessary, the needle position or the position of the guide channel can be adjusted by loosening the screw so to allow the bias binding to be sewn on close to the edge. Sew on the bias binding, ensuring that the bias binding and the fabric edge are guided in correctly.
Quilted fabrics or several layers of fabric should first be basted or neatened together before binding. Alternatively, zigzag stitch can also be used. Here, the position should be adjusted so that, when the needle moves to the left, it pierces the fabric just next to the binding.
bernette blindstitch foot (b33/b35)
This foot is most suitable to sew blindhems or to topstitch edges. The stitches only pierce the hem so that the stitch holes are hardly visible on the right side of the fabric.
Instruction
Switch off the machine. Attach the foot as described in the instruction manual.
Applications:
- Blind hems
- Topstitching edges
Stitch type: blindstitch
Stitch length: can be adjusted as required
Feed dog: raised
Prepare the hem by pressing around the hem. Fold back the hem so that the edge of the fabric is next to the folded edge. Fabrics that fray should be neatened beforehand. With lightweight fabrics, the edge of the hem can be placed under the fold.
Position the fabric so that the needle stitches straight through the folded edge when it moves to the left. Turn the guide screw to align the guide with the folded edge. Slowly sew, guiding the guide along the fold. If necessary, adjust the position of the guide again.
Instruction
The blindstitch foot can be used to sew pintucks by topstitching along the fabric fold which is placed directly against the presser foot guide.
