#39 - Embroidery w/Clear Sole Foot (5.5mm Feed) - Bernina

The Bernina #39 Embroidery foot should be a staple in your toolbox. The foot was primarily designed for decorative stitches and applique but as noted below, it has many other uses as quoted form Bernina We-All-Sew (see full article here)

The foot is designed for stitching decorative stitches, especially dense or compact stitches, including satin stitching. The wide, wedge-shaped indentation on the bottom of the sole lets the foot ride smoothly over any heavy thread build-up. This keeps the foot from dragging as the needle stitches, preventing distorted stitch patterns. Because the indentation is wider at the back, the foot works well for turning corners and stitching curves, making it perfect for stitching appliqué shapes


The sole is clear, which lets you see the stitching area and the fabric under the foot. This makes it easy to precisely place your stitches where you want. The red markings also help with stitch placement. The side markings are in line with the needle, making it easy to exactly align rows of stitching. The front marking indicates the center of the foot, again helping to stitch exactly where you want.


Now, here’s the thing that most people don’t see unless it is pointed out to them. Underneath the center red mark is a tiny hole in the center of the sole. Because of the reflection of the clear sole, it’s often hard to see even if you know it’s there! Thread the hole with a narrow cord or heavy decorative thread, and you are ready to sew several techniques for a variety of reasons.
