I've been using my machine mostly as straight stitch machine with an occasional zig zag. I have an old Bernina Sport. The foot came with it. For anyone with an older Bernina, it's foot #470!!Eileen {bluebirdluxe}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06384229762811393448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80138370718087356772012-08-20T10:42:11.557-04:002012-08-20T10:42:11.557-04:00Great post.

Reading this, I got totally excited and ordered the foot I needed to try it out. The generic overcasting foot I got came with really good instructions, which specified that even a regular zigzag stitch would work with the foot. Lo and behold, it did! I have to use the widest stitch in order to clear the bar in the foot, and a short stitch length. It works beautifully, even better than the overlocking stitch on the machine. Thanks for drawing my attention to this wonderful feature of my very very basic machine!Blaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746012275478241587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-41649253542415540212012-07-24T13:07:46.196-04:002012-07-24T13:07:46.196-04:00My heart sank when I realized I might need a serge...My heart sank when I realized I might need a serger (and they are expensive!) for my latest outfits, but this gave me hope.
