Someone said:
“Just to warn you, typically the feet for a Bernina can only be used on that model and that model alone and you might not be able to use them on another machine”
That’s completely false. “Old style” feet can only be used on machines about 30 years olds do older, but new style feet fit on all the Bernina models since the 1530 & 1630 of the 1990s. The wider 9mm feet will fit on 5.5mm models, though it doesn’t make sense to use them that way. The narrower 5.5mm feet can be used on the 9mm models, and the machine’s security feature can be set to allow only straight stitches or maximum 5.5mm wide stitches. The coded C feet will even fit on models that lack the sensor to read the coded lens. The D feet with the cut-out for the dual feed mechanism will fit on models without dual feed, but again, it doesn’t make much sense to use them that way.
Being able to share feet and accessories between models is a major advantage that Bernina offers.
