I'm interested in trying some ruler work on my Bernina 440. I've read on some of
websites of companies that sell rulers that the ruler foot for the newly released Bernina
longarm is interchangeable in all the Bernina domestic sewing machines. So I emailed my
dealer to confirm. This is what I was told:
"Thank you so much for your interest in xxx and the new Bernina Ruler Foot. This foot was developed for the new Bernina Q24 Longarm. It will certainly fit on a domestic Bernina sewing machine, however, it has not been completed tested for that use. As an example, you would damage your machine if you were using that foot and raised it while your needle was in the down position. There just isn't enough clearance between the foot and the needle clamp for the foot to be raised and the needle down. If you damaged your machine using this foot, then it would not be covered with the machine's warranty.

Now, having said all that, if you are still interested in trying it, we would be happy to order it for you."

What would you all do? Wait to see if Bernina makes a ruler foot specifically for their DSMs? Or go
ahead and use it, being careful not to raise the foot in the needle down position?
