Bernina Denim Sewing Foot - 8/8D

How to use the BERNINA Jeans Presser Foot #8 / #8D

Working with heavy, tough fabrics like denim requires high insertion force. To address these specific requirements for the presser foot, needle, and fabric feed, BERNINA has developed the No. 8 and 8D Denim Sewing Presser Feet, which allow you to easily work with thick, durable fabrics in multiple layers with maximum precision. In this video tutorial, youll see how to use the BERNINA No. 8 or 8D to create precise, durable seams, even when working with multiple layers of thick fabric. The video tutorial shows you how to properly attach the straight stitch plate, denim presser foot, and denim needle, as well as the settings you should use on your sewing machine. The example work demonstrates how easy it is to sew even multi-layered denim fabrics to achieve strong seams. Furthermore, height compensation ensures smooth fabric feed over seams—our video demonstrates how to achieve this.
