Quick answer
The BERNINA #34C Reverse-Pattern Foot is designed for stitching decorative and reverse patterns on BERNINA machines with a 9mm stitch width, offering a clear sole for excellent visibility.
Why choose the #34C over the standard #34 foot?
The #34C is the 9mm version of the #34 foot. If your BERNINA machine has a wider stitch width (9mm), the #34C accommodates the full range of decorative and reverse patterns without the foot blocking the needle area. The standard #34 is meant for 5.5mm machines.
What types of stitches work best with this foot?
This foot excels with decorative stitches, reverse patterns, and any stitch that requires you to see the needle area clearly. The wide groove underneath accommodates dense stitch formations, making it ideal for satin stitches and multi-step patterns.
Frequently asked questions about the #34C foot
Can I use the #34C on any BERNINA machine?
No. The #34C is designed specifically for BERNINA machines with a 9mm stitch width. It will not fit 5.5mm machines or other brands without an adapter.
How do I attach the #34C foot?
Raise the presser foot lever, align the foot's shank with the machine's presser foot holder, lower the lever, and ensure it snaps securely into place. Always lower the needle before stitching.
What stitches should I use with this foot?
Use decorative stitches, reverse patterns, satin stitches, and any multi-step stitch pattern. Avoid heavy-duty straight stitching or zigzag stitches wider than 9mm. Check your machine's stitch width limit to avoid needle breakage.
Does the clear sole make a difference?
Yes. The transparent sole provides a clear view of the needle and fabric, helping you align patterns precisely and see where the stitch will land.
