1/4in. BERNINA PATCHWORK / QUARTER FOOT #37N

A Bernina 1/4" presser foot, the outer and inner edges of the foot are 6mm (1/4in.) and 3mm (1/8in.)

From the center of the needle, this foot is meant specifically for patchwork and is ideal for projects with

3mm (1/8") or 6mm (1/4") seam allowances. This foot is ''New Style'' Foot.

 

Bernina sewing machines are not your average machine when it comes to presser feet.

Normally when picking out a new foot, you simply have to worry about high shank, 

Low shank, slant shank or snap on.

Bernina decided to develop their own shank systems that are not comatible with any 

other brand of machines.

Whats different between ''old style'' & ''new style'' ?

Old style BERNINA feet (From 1954 - 1998)

Bernina company started producing the 530 record in 1954, this is the first model that had what we call

''OLD STYLE FEET''. The top of the shank has a rounded back and there is no cut-out.

(See Photo ↑)

In the early days of old style feet, the foot number was actually stamped into the metal of the shank.

Eventually, BERNINA company started putting the numbers on a white sticker with black lettering on the 

front of the shank. During the production of old style feet machines, BERNINA company increased the stitch

width of these sewing machines from 4.5mm (i.e. 930s) to 5.5mm (i.e. 1001).

There are some incarnations in-between as well including the optical feet.

Wherever possible, BERNINA company had tried to make their feet backward compatible.

Tweaks were made to the shank design to ensure that u could not accidentally put

4.5mm wide foot on a 5.5mm sewing machine.

New style BERNINA feet ( 1996 -

New style BERNINA feet have red lines on the sticker and the foot number is also red,

unlike the old style feet that are black color. The top of the shank is squared off and has a notch cut out

on the top back of the shank ( See photo again ↑). These BERNINA feet are between 5.5mm and 9mm for 

the stitch width. Since BERNINA increased the cone size on the new style feet, you can't put the wrong size

foot on your BERNINA sewing machines. You may now be wondering how to tell if a specific foot is for

the 5.5mm or the 9mm machines ?

BERNINA solved this by numbering their feet and adding one or two additional versions with a letter that 

follows the number, such as Edgestitch Foot #10C, etc.

( Above provides academic exchange, info. from BERNINA.com)

 

Explain for the #1 and #1C and #1D, how to say it different?

#1 (No letter after the number)

If your new style BERNINA foot has a number without a letter,

it will fit your BERNINA sewing models that have the patented CB Hook and

a MAX. stitch width of 5.5mm. These feet can also be used on 9mm stitch width sewing machines

when 9mm width is not needed, such as when making pin tucks with a #31 BERNINA foot.

 

#1C (The letter ''C'' after the number)

This indicates that the foot was made for models that have rotary hook systems and MAX. stitch width of 9mm.

The ''C'' stands for coded and refers to the sensor on the BERNINA foot that tells the sewing machine to

engage the wider stitch width (This is a nice safety feature).

The sole of the ''C'' BERNINA feet is usually wider since the 9mm sewing machine's feed dogs are wider.

There are 2 exceptions :

Tha 2A and 16C DO NOT have a sensor since these feet don't require the wider stitching.

 

#1D (The letter 'D' after the number)

The BERNINA presser feet that have a ''D'' after the number are designed to work with the 8-series

(BERNINA models : 830 and 820) DUAL FEED feature.

After attaching the foot, the dual feed mechanism is positioned in the cutout on the back of the foot which 

engages the DUAL FEED system.

BERNINA advises against useing these feet, unless you are using the DUAL FEED FEATURE.
