Foot #97, Patchwork - Bernina

The BERNINA Patchwork Foot # 97 is designed for straight-stitching and is ideal for sewing ¼"seam allowances and top stitching.

It is available for BERNINA machines that have a maximum stitch width of 9mm.

The foot print of the sole fits perfectly with the feeding system for the most accurate feeding and stitching when piecing patchwork blocks on a 9mm BERNINA machine.

Patchwork Foot #97 has an optional moveable seam guide. (If the Patchwork Foot #97 comes as a standard accessory with a BERNINA machine, then the seam guide (Bernina part number 032706.71.00) must be purchased separately).  Especially helpful for beginners, this guide also offers extra insurance to experienced piecers.

The Straight Stitch Plate is recommended to be used in conjunction with the Patchwork Foot.
