Chicago embroidery hoop # L
Large embroidery hoop - for large motifs.

Bobbins
The bernette bobbins always maintain the thread tension consistent. It enables you to produce accurate sewing and embroidery projects.

Zigzag foot
The Zigzag presser foot is a true all-rounder and is suitable for all the common sewing works. It is also optimal for special sewing projects.

Buttonhole foot with slide
The buttonholes can be sewn easily in different versions and either with or without using a cord. Any number of buttonholes can be sewn at exactly the same length.

Button-sew-on foot
With this presser foot not only buttons of different sizes can be sewn on but also rings or hooks. The Button sew-on foot provides a slip-resistant sole so that the button cannot slip away.

Overlock foot
The Overlock foot facilitates finishing edges professionally and sewing seams similar to overlocking. It is also particularly suitable to create decorative cuffs and seams in the most common knitwear fabrics.

Zipper foot
Due to the narrow shape, zippers in various versions can be sewn in easily. The fabric is fed evenly while you can sew along the coils very closely.

Blindstitch foot
This foot is most suitable to sew blindhems or to topstitch edges. The stitches only pierce the hem so that the stitch holes are hardly visible on the right side of the fabric.

Embroidery foot with clear sole
The transparent sole affords a consistently clear view of the sewing project, ensuring that decorative and satin stitches, appliqués and off-the-edge scallops turn out particularly well.

Darning / Embroidery foot
This foot is a true specialist for free motion sewing and it is best suitable to darn holes and worn areas. Used together with an embroidery hoop, the darning process can be simplified as the hoop stabilizes the fabric.
