Bernina adapter foot
The generic ruler feet available will not work on Bernina machines due to the Bernina different foot attachment post. The Bernina ruler foot is quite expensive. Luckily I purchased my B ruler foot and rulers at a more reasonable price before they really caught on. I wonder if others could get the Bernina Adapter foot on Amazon about $ 20 and then purchase a Westalee ruler foot or similar? Just putting it on QB for maybe an option for some?

There are 2 Bernina "half shank adapters." #75 is used for things like the "Curve Master" or generic invisible zipper foot. The #77 adapter is a little shorter and will work with the Westalee low shank foot and low shank rulers. That's what I use on my machine, because the Bernina foot hadn't come out when I started using rulers. Bernina doesn't currently make the #72 foot for the older machines, only for the newer machines (30 years old and newer). So if you have an older Bernina, the #77 adapter and Westalee foot are your best options.
You can adjust the height on the Bernina foot (#72) for different battings and fabrics. It's a very good presser foot! Plus the back of the foot is higher, so you can use thicker rulers.
