how to use them with step-by-step techniques and photos.

What it is 

guidebook to BERNINA presser feet — not just a catalog.

It helps you answer questions like:

  • “Which foot should I use for this job?”

  • “Why does my seam look better with this foot?”

  • “What settings should I use?”

  • “What other things can this foot do besides its ‘main’ purpose?”


What it covers 

1) Every BERNINA foot and accessory — organized and easy to look up

numerically so you can find what you own fast.

Foot #1 (Reverse Pattern Foot), you can look up “#1” and see:

  • what it’s for

  • best fabrics

  • recommended stitch types

  • machine settings


2) “Technique” instruction,

For each foot/accessory, it explains:

  • how to use it

  • how to set up your machine

  • how to get clean results

  • what mistakes cause bad stitching

This is why people buy it: it’s not just “this is Foot #97.” It shows how to use it.


3) Multiple uses for each foot 

A lot of presser feet were designed for one purpose but can do more.

A zipper foot isn’t just for zippers — it can also help with:
  • sewing close to piping

  • stitching near bulky edges

  • topstitching tight areas


4) Step-by-step techniques across many types of sewing

The techniques include a range “from appliqué to zippers” and other common applications.

Examples of technique categories you’ll see:

  • zippers (centered, invisible, lapped)

  • appliqué

  • edge stitching / topstitching

  • blind hems

  • quilting

  • specialty attachments and tools


5) Strong visuals: photos + in-process pictures

This book is heavy on:

  • full-page inspiration photos

  • step-by-step photos showing what to do

  • close-up pictures of results and techniques

visual — seeing what “right” looks like helps more than reading it
