BERNINA Foot #10 Edgestitch

Edgestitch Foot #10 is meant for stitches that are 5.5 mm wide or less. This means that there is room to move the needle to the left or right of the center. To set up for this stitch, move the needle three positions to either side of the center.

Since the stitching tends to appear on the right side of the project, an increased stitch length is preferred. This provides a professional look. With these setting changes in place, test sew to confirm that the stitch is suitable for the project.

Commonly used for garment sewing, edgestitching adds a professional finish to seam allowances and construction details. One example of when this technique is used is understitching to prevent the seam from rolling to the front of the project. It is also great for stitching elements in place, such as quilt bindings. Edgestitching can even be a form of topstitching for a seam finish. I use this technique on cuffs, collars, and pockets. When edgestitching, the finished line of stitching is less than ¼” away from the seam or edge of the fabric.
