Part Number: 008 447 7200

Use this buttonhole foot whenever manual buttonholes are indicated such as for extra long or extra small buttonholes, or in difficult areas with uneven thicknesses of fabrics such as narrow collar stands
Use this foot to sew buttonholes with or without gimp
The sole of the foot has two grooves, which allow the fabric to move freely even as thread builds up to form the beads of the buttonhole. The guide between the grooves helps keep the beads of the buttonhole parallel, even when long buttonholes are sewn
The slight indentation in the front of the foot allows the free passage of the thread as the stitching reverses to complete the buttonhole
The center "toe" (prong) in the front of the foot can be used to hook gimp or cord. It is used for corded buttonholes, gathering with cord or sewing shirring elastic.
This foot can also be used for whip-and-roll edges in fine fabrics like batiste (Swiss edge)

Fits all the old Bernina models from the 530 to the 1630, including the current 1008.

This foot does not fit modern electronic models, Artista, Aurora, Virtuosa & Activa.
