I have never bought a vintage machine, but this Bernina is being sold locally for a decent price and I am intrigued.

My first question is how do I find out if there is a 1/4" foot available for it?

Having recently bought a brand new machine, I know to take various samples to sew on.

I look forward to any help you can provide.

Many thanks,

Lynda

My suggestion is Google. Good luck and I always have a small sewing kit. cotton,denim and a knit. At least layer cakes sizes.

I have a Bernina 1020 and a 1530. They did make a 1/4" foot. The number is #37. You can check with a Bernina dealership to see if there are any still in stock or look on eBay.

A very good friend uses Berninas. I'm pretty sure she has a 1/4" foot for hers.

Is that machine considered vintage? They should still have parts for that even on ebay or where ever.

There is indeed a 1/4" foot for the Bernina 1120, just make sure you get the correct version for your machine. You want the #37 foot. I have a 1031 and 930, the same feet fit both as well as the 1120.

Sharon,

Thanks very much for clarifying that a. there is a 1/4" foot for the machine and b. what number foot it is. You rock.

There are two 1/4" presser feet for Bernina machines. #37 is a regular 1/4", and the #57 is the 1/4" with the guide -- it's a metal flange that you guide your fabric against. I prefer the #37, because you can't sew across a diagonal square with the guide, it kinda drags. The 1120 would take the "red box" with the forks at the top of the shaft.

It's a great machine!

This is a good source for buying parts and presser feet for various machines. I have ordered there a couple of times.
