I work part time for a Bernina dealer who is away at BU learning about all the new stuff. She told me on the phone yesterday that the ruler foot that was "for the longarms only" will now be available for domestic machines. I assume that they have solved the problem using them of the needle hitting the foot (or they are just going to warn you about lowering the needle while the presser foot is up). But no, I don't expect them to make the ruler foot in old style (1630 and older machines).
