Features
On Order! This foot allows you to sew along longarm quilting rulers to create decorative quilt designs such as lines, feathers, circles etc. Any commercial Plexiglas longarm quilting rulers with a ¼ inch thickness can be used. The height of the sole of the foot makes it possible to quilt along all the edges of these rulers which is of utmost importance especially with circles.
With this technique the feed dog is lowered and the fabric with the Plexiglas ruler is guided manually with the base of the foot resting against the edge of the ruler. Due to the adjustment dial the height of the foot can be adjusted to match the fabric thickness individually so that the fabric can be moved smoothly and without getting stuck.
Moreover, this additional option provided by the adjustable foot height extends the scope of applications for BERNINA sewing machines without the function ‘automatic presser foot pressure/presser foot height’.

ETA This Month. Rulerwork Foot with Slit #72S
This adjustable foot allows you to sew along a ¼-inch-thick Plexiglass ruler and create decorative quilt designs such as lines, feathers and circles. The markings on the inside and outside allow for precise sewing, and the dial lets you adjust the height of the foot individually to the fabric thickness.
Thanks to the slit in the Adjustable Ruler Foot #72S, you can change a sewing foot without having to cut the thread. This allows an easy transition from Rulerwork to other applications. The foot is compatible with Couching Inserts and Echo-quilting Clips.
Adjust the height of the presser foot. To do this, turn the adjusting wheel of the presser foot until the fabric can be moved back and forth under the presser foot sole without difficulty. (Fig. 1)
Thread the needle.
Bring the bobbin thread up to the right side of the fabric. Hold the upper thread and the bobbin thread in place together.
Start quilting with ruler (Fig. 2) or free-motion quilting (Fig. 3). Move the fabric with your hands according to the sewing speed in order to achieve an even stitch length.
Tips
If skipped stitches occur, reduce the presser foot height or the sewing speed.
For an optimal sewing result, use the straight stitch plate.
For an optimal stitch formation, use the same thread quality and color as top and bobbin thread.
