Great instructions! Thread the foot is brilliant! I can't believe that people can put a thumbs down on such perfect instruction. What is wrong with people :)
This is an excellent tutorial. I already knew how to use Bernina roller feet after reading a book by Carol Ahles but I always found it difficult to finish a rolled seam. The trick with tweezers you showed here, is very helpful. Thank you! I also liked many other videos on your channel so I am subscribing.
This video was great, thank you! Now to try it myself and pray that it works for me too! The first time I tried my rolled hem foot was on gauze fabric and it just wanted to eat it. I gave up and I haven't picked it up since that time, but am willing to try again after watching your clear video...thank you again!
Oh yes! Now I don't have to go out and purchase the #62 foot for the straight stitch! One video said the #63 foot was for zigzag or other utility stitches only. You set matters straight!
I own practically every Bernina foot known to man....except the rolled hem feet....because I could never get them to work on my previous machines. You are my game-changer! ....top of my list for my next dealer trip! Is it easy to work on thinner fabrics, eg dance material or prom dress materials?
This was really helpful. I've been doing this the hard way. One suggestion I have for video production is to use the landscape mode for video. It's hard to watch videos done vertically. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try again to come up with a way to have the video in landscape mode but the way I have everything set up I can't zoom in the way I need. I should "up my game" so to speak and learn more about cameras but so far I am focused on stitching and just glad my phone takes as good of a video as it does.
@@SewShelly if we hit the little square at the right bottom, and hold the iPad vertically, the picture fills the screen, so no worries. It was a perfect tutorial! So glad I found you!
Hi, Shelly, I hope it’s OK to ask if you have a rolled-hem foot suggestion for a very small hem on chiffon fabric or something of similar weight. There are so many versions of each Bernina foot number, and I never know what each of them is for. I just want to sew a small rolled hem on a scarf. Thank you, Shelly, for any help you can pass along. You explain everything so well! You’re the first place I visit when I have a question about my Bernina machine. Thank you!
Great question. You have several options for chiffon. The #61 is a 2mm rolled hem foot that will make a straight, zigzag or decorative stitch up to 3mm wide. The #62 is a 2mm rolled hem that will only sew a straight stitch. Another choice that I make of the is the #10 foot. I am putting a link to my video on how to use the #10 for a narrow rolled hem of chiffon. ruclips.net/video/uQPr4fSBbQk/видео.html. Make samples first!
Great tutorial, Shelly. What is your preferred way to do a corner with the #63 foot, i.e., if you are doing napkins with 4 corners using this foot? Thanks
Hi Shelly. I have followed any of your great videos. You make all these applications so much more doable with all your detailed tips. I have the 790+ and the Bernina 880. I have purchased bothe the #62 And the # 64 straight edge roller foot. Since you have demonstrated and chosen the #63 and make it work so nicely, is it your opinion that the 63 is easier to use. If so, is it because it is a bit shorter. Is it worth it for me to add this additional foot, or replace the others with the 63. I had thought that I’d not use the decorative stitches for a rolled hem, so choose the tiny 62, and the medium 64.I am struggling with both of these to get a finished edge that looks like yours.
Thank for the question. You do not need the 63. They all work the same. You need 1/2 yard of ugly fabric that you can cut into strips and practice. Remeber when you look at the bottom if the foot you will see the finished hem size. You can do it.
I have the #63 and had unsuccessfully tried to use it. I'll try again now that I've seen how to use it properly. How would I turn the corner for a napkin or scarf? Do you still pivot or use your second method for each corner?
I do not try to pivot with the 63 foot. It is too small. I stitch the 4 sides in clockwise order so that I am starting with raw fabric except for the last side. On the last side I usually use the second method to start.
How would you suggest this technique without a knee lift system? With one hand holding the “handle,” and the other on the fabric, I’m having trouble lowering my foot while keeping the fabric in the coil. 🙁
#63 is 3mm or approx 1/8 inch and #66 is 6mm or approx 1/4 inch. I found this information in the Big Book of Feet that you can get from your BERNINA dealer and is invaluable.
"..Show you how to thread the foot..."! Jeez, 52 years of sewing and I've just learned something new. And I'm only 1.15 into the video. Thank you!
Great instructions! Thread the foot is brilliant! I can't believe that people can put a thumbs down on such perfect instruction. What is wrong with people :)
Two things I learned. The width of slot on bottom of foot and how to thread the foot. Loved the demo also
I just love you! I bought an 880 plus about a year ago and have been a tiny bit overwhelmed. You’ve been so helpful. Thank you!
Thankyou Shelly! I just bought foot #66, and have been struggling to do a rolled hem. Your video is a lifesaver! 👍

I am so glad you found this helpful!
Thank you for this video!
This is a great demo but would a demo on how to turn corners like on a napkin
Wonderful video! thank you for the knowledge:):)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank for thist great demo. SUCCESS WITH EVERYTHING YOU SEW.
This video was great, thank you! Now to try it myself and pray that it works for me too! The first time I tried my rolled hem foot was on gauze fabric and it just wanted to eat it.

Love this. I never knew how to "thread the foot". Duh!
Thanks Shelley, Ruth
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great instructions!
Extremely helpful! I just need to get the hang of it. Thank you.
I’ve been looking for this tip!!!! Yay!!!
Thank you thank you
Well done-- thank you!
Oh yes! Now I don't have to go out and purchase the #62 foot for the straight stitch! One video said the #63 foot was for zigzag or other utility stitches only. You set matters straight!
So glad to show you how to use this foot.

Use the zig zag stitch plate for #63 if you move the needle out of center position or use a decorative stitch.
Brilliant demo. I am now going to order my foot. Thank you
Jane Madge, Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy your new foot!
Grateful.

This is one technique that is really difficult without the free hand system.
Hi Shelly, What Stitch plate did you have on? Thankyou for video.
Does this foot come with the Bernini 335 ? Or do I need to buy one?
This would not have come with your machine. It would be an extra foot that you would find at your BERNINA dealer.
Thank you! I must order a foot! How wide does this one turn out? Is it about 1/8th of an inch? I need to know which foot to order, #66 or #63?
#63 is 3mm or approx 1/8 inch and #66 is 6mm or approx 1/4 inch. I found this information in the Big Book of Feet that you can get from your BERNINA dealer and is invaluable.
@@SewShelly thank you! I don’t have that one yet.
How do you keep the end of the hem from spiraling out of the curl past the edge of the fabric?
I go over this beginning around minute 2.3.
