I loved the close up pictures. I just joined this board. What is the stitch in the ditch foot? Is it the blind hem foot? I have a Bernina and that is a #5?

No it itsn't the blind hem foot.....the metal 'tongue' on SID is much longer and the foot itself has even 'feet' while the hem foot has one longer.

I also have a Bernina, a 1090. I believe what you're looking for is the the #10 Edge Joining/Stitch in the Ditch foot. I just found one at sewingmachinesplus.com for $19.95 plus shipping.

There are some on ebay for the same price, only free shipping - but I'd rather deal with this company as I know it'll be a genuine Bernina foot and not a knock off.

Best of luck to you,

Karla

Hi Deb,

Thanks so much for bringing this tip to our attention! I'd forgotten all about it, so ordered myself a Bernina #10 Edge Joining/Stitch in the Ditch foot before I forget again. :roll:

Practice, practice, practice. The dishes will still be there, the dust will accumulate next week as well, and everyone should know how to do laundry.......sewing/quilting/fabric shopping is THERAPY....

What a great idea! I love that I won't have to mark the diagonal line with a pencil on my fabric!

Deb, my machine doesn't have that metal extention so it must only work for particular machines, right?
