This is the quarter inch foot for the 9mm stitch width machines. As you've seen in the video the left side of the foot is more than a 1/4" so it covers all fo the feed dogs to give you optimum feeding of the fabric. This will keep the fabric moving straight and evenly. All quarter inch feet should be used in conjunction with the 0mm/straight stitch plate.
Thanks. I’ve learned so much from you. It’s like having a sewing buddy who knows much more about my machine and presser feet than I do.
I can’t understand why anyone would give this fellow I thumbs down! Are you crazy? I am a new Bernina owner and a very novice sewist this has been extremely helpful much better than the Bernina videos nice and close and clear explanation with rationale behind everything. Thank you so much
Awe thank you for being so positive I love getting comments from my viewers it's what keeps me making more videos to help everyone. :) Thank you for watching...
I think, people are trollers and should be dismissed from our minds. We know what is a good instructional video and we follow. I just found you. I own a 440 Aurora, but none the less it applies to all sewing machines. Thank you Cody and Pete👏👏💕
Amen! Cody kept this new Bernina owner from pitching the machine out the window!!! 😅
These thumbs downers are looking for a "don't be a _ick" tshirt. The internet is a democratization of opinion...whether worthy of expression or not.
Yes absolutely agree with you. There are some who are jealous n the others who are nasty n wicked.
I agree Johanne. This is the most comprehensive explanation of a presser foot I've ever heard. Bernina doesn't even explain their feet this thoroughly. THANK YOU YOU CODY.
This was an exceptionally informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I am new to bernina and you have been my best teacher. 😊
I have owned a Bernina machine since 1982. Upgraded to a 570QE 3 years ago. Promise - this guy is awesomely fabulous. Better than any other instructional video out there. So thankful I “accidentally” found him today! Excuse my trendy comment, but he’s a “game changer”!
Hi I'm new owner of Bernina B570 QE.
I m learning from your lessons ..every button, icon. Is new for me.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much
Cody, you are a genius! I have spoken😄
Thank you. You explained very well, I was about to buy the #57 with guide when I really don’t need it 😊
Ohhhh! That's what I said to myself while watching this video. Thanks, Cory, for making sense of the feet and the plate combinations.
Long time Bernina owner, 57d hands down.
The video on the 97D foot was very helpful!
Hi! This was a wonderful tutorial! I am a new Bernina 570QE owner and I appreciate your information- it was very simple to learn about this foot. Thank you!
Good video - another hint for the fabric not going 'down the hole' is to start with your needle in the down position and it jumps up to the top of your fabric. That changed everything in my piecing.
Thank you very much for the information, I learn more about my Bernina 880 plus from your video channel ❤🇦🇪.
Cody, you really have a great way of teaching . I was having some difficulties with some blocks I was stitching . I was researching which 1/4 inch foot would be best to use and came across this video . Wow , game changer . My blocks are perfect . I was using the 37D . I will be checking out all of your videos ! ❤
I am so happy with every video I have seen. Thank you so much. I’ve had an old Bernina and overwhelmed with my new one. Thank you for saving me!!!
Omg! Thank you for the information! I have both feet and was only using the 37D with 9 mm plate had so much issues as you stated in the video! Tonight I switched over to the 97D and zero mm plate! Can’t believe the different! Thank you
You are wonderful as a teacher and a person, I thankyou and appreciate you so much for the care you give to your tutorials. Also, please do as video on Pete, I have o let seen him 1 x...
Thats is a great Idea I will have to do a Petrie video all about him, especially since I now know people want to know about him :)
My name is Tonya and I work at Lola Pink Fabrics in Lafayette, and just wanted to thank you for these videos. They are extremely informative and now I feel like I can help my customers even better than before! 😊
Glad I can help make the BERNINA brand stronger!! :)
Thanks for the explanation. Will get the D. You are my go to for Bernina videos. Keep them going.
Love your videos! So clear, and love your voice! So soothing.
Thank You Cody, I generally do not leave Comments, but your video are the Best I have seen for Bernina learning base, I love your Way. Thanks You Again for sharing!
Thank you for leaving a comment. I am so happy I am able to help people 🥰🥰
I love your videos as I learn something new every time! Thanks
Excellent explanation of these feet. So glad to know. Thanks
That’s amazing. Love your videos. Keep them coming please. Thank you 👍
HELPS A LOT...LOVE ALL THE VIDEOS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR...YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO YOUNG MAN...
I love to know" why",thank you for the démonstration !
I love giving the reason for why we do something. To me the why is important information that I like to share. I am glad it’s appreciated. 😀
@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 much appreciated, many thanks!
Love my 97D!
Thanks for your informative video! Bernina thinks of everything!
Thank you for this tip. It will definitely help me.
I just got my 570qe machine and you are my absolute FAVORITE UA-cam channel! Thank you for your excellent tutorials.
You’ve got a wonderful machine. I am so happy you found my channel and so happy the videos are helping.
Absolutely fabulous. Going to buy the 97D and the single hole stitch plate. While it’ll be great for piecing, I’ll be able to adjust the guide when I’m sewing clothing, I can never sew a 5/8" seam, after quilting a 1/4"seam allowance so often, the 5/8" seems so huge! 🤣 problem solved, thank you.
I am new to Bernina and am finding your video SO helpful. Thank you so much :-)
Great explanation on the 97D, 9 mm plate, feed dogs and guide. I've had my 570QE for a year and a half, and can still use these basic tutorials. Going to look back through your video list to check those out. Thanks!
Wonderful. I am happy the videos are helping you out. :)
VERY helpful video. Thx!
Thank you Cody and Pete! I’m looking into getting my mom the 475QE… I have the 570QE.
I went to look at a few other brands today and realized what Bernina has as far as quality. One piece feet, all metal, good sturdy construction and feel!
I guess I didn’t realize what I had.
I’m so happy you do all these videos, I’m much more sure this will be a good decision, and we can share some feet as well, including my BSR!
Such good info always and so reassuring!
You are making up for all the gaps in my learning!
Thank you and God Bless!🥰
The 475 is a wonderful machine I love it. Your mom will love it to I’m sure. Yes they are very sturdy machine and can sew anything I throw at it. I am glad my videos are helping you learn more about your machine 🥰
@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 ❤❤😀❤❤❤❤😊❤😊❤❤😀thank you for the information! 475 q is a good maschine!
Thank you, this was invaluable to me. I have been struggling with piecing on my brand new Bernina 770 and now know that it is because I am using the wrong stich plate! No more stuck fabric corners and birds nests for me!
Wonderful to hear yes that stitch plate makes all the difference in the world. :)
I just bought a Bernina 770QE and I had a 97D foot. I bought a straight stitch plate to go with the 770 , love the 97d foot
Thanks!! Very informative.
I have learned so much from you, thank you very much
Excellent explanations
Thank you so much for your very informative video, I always watch it with a great interest and I always learn something interesting.
Good information I have not used the 0 mm stitch plate and did not know it was for straight stitching and I do a LOT of Free motion quilting - thanks again for the great info!
This showed up in my recommended videos this morning. Thanks. I found a 97 foot buried in my machine drawer the other day. “Too much stuff”. I will start using this asap.
Hahaha it’s a wonderful foot. You’ll love it 🥰
OMG! Thank you! Perfect video.
Wonderful, I am so happy you enjoyed it.... :)
I have been having trouble with getting a 1/4 seam and this is a great video. Very helpful.
Awesome. I am glad you found it. Sorry you weren’t getting the 1/4” seam you needed before.
Wonderful video on why you should always use 97D foot with straight stitch plate.
OMG! So glad I found you!
Aww thank you, I am glad you found me too. :)
You are awesome! I’m taking a jelly roll race class tomorrow, and am going to have perfect 1/4” seams thanks to you!
OMG I just learned so much from you, today!!!
That's AWESOME so happy I was able to teach you some things. :)
Thank you for the clear and easy to understand explanation of how to use the patchwork foot and the seam guide. I didn't have the seam guide with my new Bernina 475QE so I will be buying one now.
Thank you!!! You have answered my question I was looking for!!💜
Great video, thank you!!
I learned a lot in the video! YES it helps! Thanks for your in depth teaching. Excellent. I would like one on Binding....if you have time!
I am planning on making one on how I do my binding. :) Thank You! :)
Thank you. I am trying to get better skills with my 770 this week and wanted to know best to get my quarter inch. I didn’t know about the stitch plate.
Thank you so much! Love the 97D but didn’t realize the importace of using the guide with the notch and using the straight stitch plate!
Great job explaining! Thank you!!!🤗
Always so thorough! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and the positive comment. :)
Fab video, thank you so much
Hi Cody! I found you when I googled about the 1/4" foot for my Bernina and this was a great video very informative! I did not know those things about this foot and those markings! I have subscribed! I have a small shop in Mount Rainier so this was very helpful! Thank you so much!
So happy to hear you found my videos. I hope they continue to help you. You are living in one of my great locations a little jealous. haha If you every have any questions just let me know I will be happy to help you in anyway I can.
@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 I totally missed this comment I always watch from my phone.. I am looking for a video on using the Ruffle Foot #16.. I planned on using that for gathers, what if the gathers need adjusting how would that work? Oh and DC isnt all that grand lol its very very expensive to live here hahaha but I do love it since moving from Jersey :-)
Thank You Cody!
It definitely helps, thanks so much 🌼✂️🧵
Awesome! Such great and useful info. Thanks!
You are welcome. I am glad it was helpful. :) That is my goal, happy to see it is helping.
Wow!! Thank u so much for this video! I'm a new Bernina owner (and new sewer!) and this video was super informative!! I already switched my foot, plate and installed the guide!!
Thank you, well explained. 😊
Thank you for watching. :)
Perfect! I have friends trying to get me to try the 57d or 37d but I just need to use my 97d on my 770!
That’s correct there really isn’t any need to use the 37 or 57 on the 770 because you don’t get the best feeding especially when you go over seams. For years all we had were the 37D and 57D they work but the 97D is incredible. They just need one like the 97D with an attached guide like the 57D. 😁
Thanks so much for your video!!
Thanks for watching. :)
Loved the demo. So clear! Thank you for explaining the differences between the feet. Any thoughts on how to get a scant 1/4" seam?
Thanks!
You mentioned using a #37 foot while applying binding - I thought binding should be applied with a walking foot. Any clarification? Thanks so much - love your videos!
This was very informative. Thank you. There is always new things to learn.
I agree always learning something new. :)
Hi Cody! Thank you so much for these videos. They have helped me so much in making a decision to purchase a B480, and have helped so much with questions I've had. One issue I am having is using the 97 foot with the guide and the 0mm plate, I still get some shifting of the fabric and it causes the seams to narrow at the end of the seam. I have tried lessening the presser foot pressure and that improves it some. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you so much! You are awesome!
Thank you for this helpful video. Very clear and full of information to help me understand the differences between these feet and why. I have a question for you. When I am sewing a bag and am sewing a binging on over a zipper, I want to use a quarter-inch foot. When I use the 97d foot, I find it’s a little too wide to the left of the needle. It bumps up against the zipper. Could I use the 37d instead? Would I be losing too much control with loss of traction with my feed dogs? I don’t like using a zipper foot for this step, because it’s too hard to judge the 1/4 inch and the fabric feels squarely because there is so little contact with the feed dogs. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for yr you tube - is the 97D classed as a scant 1/4 inch with this method. Take care.
Merci merci!
I have to move my needle 2 'clicks' to the right, otherwise my 1/4" seam is too big. The guide is great, but I don't understand why I still need to move needle over for the scant. Don't we always want the scant, at least when quilting? I am new to Bernina and don't know anything about garment sewing. Would you use the 1/4 foot without needle clicks to the right for garment sewing? Confused in Oregon. LOL Thank you for the video. Now I understand you get better traction with this foot. That makes sense.
I have had problems with my new 770 and trying to do a scant quarter inch seam. Hoping this will help Cody. 😬
Thank you for this video! Question - I’m assuming you can’t do a 1/4” scant when using the straight stitch plate, correct? I’m new to the Bernina and don’t have a straight stitch plate yet. I’m in the middle of a quilt so I can’t change to a standard 1/4” now. I’m using my 97d with the attachable guide that came with it. I’m using the standards plate and I can move my needle 1 space to the right and it matches the stitch width I was doing on my Janome for scant. How do you do a scant with the straight stitch plate for so you just stick to a regular 1/4”? Thank you!
Hi Cody,
I have an Artista 730 and none of the 1/4" feet say they are adaptable. Can you clarify if the 97 will work on that machine? Thanks for all of your tips. You are the best in helping us use our machines.
With 97 foot I’m assuming you can’t move needle to right or left. Correct?
Hi! Very informative video! Thank you so much. I have a though… Because the fabric is drag mainly from the left side (that is wide), won't the fabric be moved forward unevenly (because less tracking on the right) and then, have a tendency to go on the diagonal? Which means you have to hold your fabric well to guide it, otherwise in won't go straight ?
Hi Cody that was awesome! Learned alot! Wondering what foot I use for regular garment sewing if it calls for 1/4 inch or for bags???
I have the B- 570 I bought the straight stitch plate 7 series ,is this the right single stitch plate, it says B-710,B- 750QE, & B- 780, this is the one they gave me to buy. I’m not sure if it’s 5m but is a single stitch. And when you change the plate on the 570qe is the feed dog pressed down before changing plate? Thank you if this works will improve my quilting,hopefully I can learn to obtain the scant 1/4” seem.
Really informative video Cody. Thank you for this. Something I wonder about, I always hear that a 5mm machine is always your best bet for precise 1/4" piecing. But if you have a 9mm, and use the 97D with the built in dual feed, and the seam guide, would you get the same quality of piecing?
Hi, I was using the 97d with side guide on my 770, but it seems the fabric get scewed and I dont get a regular 1/4" seam! I use stitch no 1, should I use something else. I have taken to doing my piecing on my 380 with a perfect seam using the 57 foot.
My machine will not recognize my 97D foot. I have the B 790 that you sold me Cody. I’ve selected the foot and the correct plate. I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Please help!
Sorry for another post. I want to add to the post just below and say that I am using that very first stitch, the straight stitch. Should I change to one of the straight stitches in the quilt stitch menu? Does that eliminate need for the moving needle to the right for scant when quilting? OK thank you! I appreciate it.
Hi Cody! Thank you for always explaining in great detail. I am Always learning from you.
I have a question…as your upper thread comes down to the needle IT WRAPS AROUND THE NEEDLE. what is the advantage? I’ve never seen this on a BERNINA video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Does the material want to pull to the left since that right side of the foot doesn't cover all the feed dogs? I seemed to have that issue.
Hi great video . Does the 97 foot work with the B720 pls ?
Yes it does! But because the 720 is the only 7 series that is a 5.5mm stitch width you can use the 57 or 37. :)
Questions ... can I use the 97 foot on a 5mm Bernina? Can I use the seam guide on a 5mm machine that has the requisite holes for mounting it? I’d like to use my 97 foot with the seam guide on my Bernina 350 that I use for traveling. (I use the 97D on my new 570)
YES :) yes to all of that. If you have the regular 97 you can use it on any machine you want and the guide that comes with it is not a new attachment its been around for decades. :) So you can use it on any BERNINA machine with most feet. :)
Jeff, does this give you the scant 1/4”?
My sewing machine wouldn't bring up the
thread
I wish the machine would allow me to move the needle over one position so I could get a scan quarter inch seam.
If you didn't have the 0mm stitch plate on you can move the needle position one space in both directions. However with the 0mm stitch plate there is no movement allowed.
I can get 1 click on my 530 with the straight stitch plate for that machine. You can test yours by gently hand cranking down. I have plenty of clearance, your mileage may vary.
Love your videos but a question…. I use regularly my 97 foot but if I need a scant 1/4 do I need to move my needle one notch to the right to get the scant? Please help.
Yes so with the 97 foot you can move your needle to get that scant 1/4” but unfortunately you can’t move your needle with the 0mm “straight” stitch plate so you would have to use the optional 5.5 mm or the 9mm stitch plate. Hope this helps
@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 thank you so much.
On my Bernina 530 I can use the straight stitch plate with 1 click over. You should gently try it on your machine by hand cranking to ensure that you have enough clearance and no rubbing on the right.
@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 Cody, I have successfully used 1 click over on my 530 and the straight stitch plate. Full clearance.
@@notesfromleisa-land thank you. Will give it a try n check it out.
Does the 97 work on a 1230?
no sorry :(
Is there a “C” version of the #97 or #37? I have the Artista 200 Bernina machine. Will the “D” feet work on my Artista 200?
So there is no “C” version of the 97. The 97 is just designed for the 9mm stitch width machines which you 200 is. So all you will need is the regular 97. You couldn’t use the D version on your 200 because it doesn’t have dual feed and it will not give you adequate feeding. 😀
Cody, not to contradict, but simply offer my experience with the straight stitch plate and needle position for those who like the one-click to the right for the perfect scant.....
I have a Bernina 530 (no dual feed, etc) 5mm machine. I have both of these feet. I also have a straight stitch plate. I have successfully sewn my scant 1/4" by moving my needle position over 1 click to the right...but no more...with my straight stitch plate. There is *full clearance* to the right of my needle and the needle hole in the plate. Your mileage may vary! You could test this precisely and with utmost care on YOUR machine by hand cranking the needle position down to ensure that you have *full* clearance and *no contact* with the needle with/on the plate. I use this all the time, and I've not had any problems.
How these precision marks will help you: For those who like to sew hexagons and LeMoyne Stars without having to mark 1/4" the 1/4" foot offers superior visibility (you cannot see the side well with the gated foot) where you start and where you need to stop and backstitch. I have the gated foot too...but you cannot see precision start spots (e.g. on the start of a diamond shoulder). Nevertheless, the gated foot glides over bumps (and those cheap gated foots that you buy in a set for clip on) bend and catch on dog ears etc. They are no substitute for this well-made foot. I'm glad to have both in my tool kit.
P. S. I don't understand why so many promote all these "edgers" when a simple seam guide as you show are staples and make good use of the screws in the bed of your machine! I have an old 1946 Kenmore that uses the Geist screw on foots. The seam guide and the stylus are both precision-machined pieces. Any my foot is a perfect scant quarter.
Great info. Thank you!
