A Bit About the Bernina Three-Sole Walking Foot with Seam Guide #50

We're big fans of the Bernina Walking Foot at the workroom! If you've taken patchwork and garment making classes with us, this foot has likely made an appearance to help get the job done efficiently and professionally.

Three-Sole Walking Foot with Seam Guide #50 easily works with challenging fabrics and layers. Use it for machine quilting, sewing “sticky” materials and it helps prevent fabrics from shifting while being sewn together, ideal for matching plaids and stripes.
