Hei, Can you show us how to do corners with a hemmer foot, in one continues square. for example if I was making a table cloth and want to use my hemmer foot all around my square table cloth. hope you can help us? thank you :)
Hi there, the video above is outdated. Here's a more detailed video on the BERNINA hemmer feet: ruclips.net/video/HV3Sy8HhQ_Y/видео.html To answer your question: Every BERNINA presser foot has undergone intensive development, during which the shape of the sole has been optimally designed for the intended purpose. There usually is not just one perfect solution. We have to find the best compromise for different fabric thicknesses and threads. Therefore, there can be no universal answer to your question. All hemmer feet have a groove going all the way through the sole because a double-folded fabric that has also been sewn together with an overlock stitch needs a lot of space. The result is a thick strand that is higher than the fabric. If the groove were not continuous, the foot would inevitably have to lift off the feed dog. As a result, the fabric would no longer be transported cleanly. Feet that do not fold over the fabric usually have a short, non-continuous groove or indentation behind the stitch hole so that the thread inserted into the fabric can slide under the presser foot without resistance. However, as the thread is thin and does not cause any significant thickening of the fabric, it is better if the groove is not continuous so that the foot pressure can press the fabric and thread onto the feed dog. This improves the fabric feed. We hope this helped.
@saraloining530 You will find the article by browsing through the archive of the berninablog (article published 21st January 2011) or by searching for "perfekte ecken bandeinfasser" with the full text search function on the top right of the blog (unfortunately it is not possible to post the complete link in youtube).
@saraloining530 Hi there! Unfortunately we don't have a video ready showing how to sew corners with a hemmer foot. However, we have recently published an article on how to do corners with a binder on the international berninablog.
Hi K- Dog, thanks for asking. We don't have rolled hem instructions for the BERNINAA 1230 as this model (launched in 1988) is no longer part of our product portfolio. General information on how to use the machine can be found in your manual. For more information on the BERNINA hemmer feet please watch the following video: ruclips.net/video/HV3Sy8HhQ_Y/видео.html For beautiful rolled hems, we recommend using a BERNINA overlocker, see for example ruclips.net/video/eRNUpeM2ULI/видео.html
Dear E W, we agree! The video above is outdated. Here is a newer video with more detailed instructions on how to use our hemmer feet: ruclips.net/video/HV3Sy8HhQ_Y/видео.html Kind regards from Switzerland

Why do some of the feet have a channel going all the way through the foot and others the channel only goes about halfway down the foot?

I cannot get this work on the 830. One side works fine, but the hemmed side won't catch on the feed dogs and sew

You should show what the finish hem looks like once completed.
