Presser Feet & Accessories

The following presser feet and accessories are available for BERNINA overlockers except the L 220. Some

attachments are included with the purchase of the overlocker and others are optional depending on the

model. Each presser foot snaps onto the shank of the overlocker, easy to change without the use of addi-

tional tools. The Gathering Attachment, the Guide for the Multi-Purpose Foot, and the Right & Left Seam

Guides are attachments used in conjunction with a presser foot.

Elasticator: Attaching Elastic

Fabric: Medium weight cotton, 3” x 14” and

12” length of ½” nylon or cotton braid elastic

Needle: 75/11 Stretch or Ballpoint

Thread: 2 cones of overlocker thread and 2 cones of Woolly Nylon

Presser Foot: Elasticator

Stitch: 4-thread overlock

Thread the overlocker for a 4-thread overlock using Woolly Nylon in

the upper and lower loopers. Adjust settings as directed below.

Attach the Elasticator to the overlocker.

Locate and raise the roller guide in the front of the presser foot. Turn

the handwheel to lower the needles. (This also lowers the feed dog.)

Raise the presser foot and insert the elastic through the slot and under

the presser foot until it touches the needles.

Lower the presser foot and overlock a few stitches to catch and

straighten the elastic along the right edge of the slot. Turn the hand-

wheel to lower the needles.

Lower the roller guide. Using the small screwdriver, loosen the set

screw on the front of the elasticator and adjust the guide plate to the

width of the elastic; tighten the set screw.

Locate the pressure adjustment set screw (on the top of the roller

guide) and turn the screw counterclockwise to completely loosen the

pressure on the roller.

Place the fabric under the presser foot and begin stitching. Slowly

tighten the pressure adjustment set screw to increase the pressure

on the roller and stretch the elastic. Note: Do not over tighten the

screw. Excessive pressure on the elastic will bind the fabric.

Stitch the elastic onto the fabric letting the presser foot stretch the

elastic for you.

Return all settings to normal.

Multi-Purpose Foot: Beading

Fabric: Medium weight cotton, 4” x 8”

10” length of 4mm, plastic, pre-strung beads

Needle: 80/12 Universal

Thread: 3 cones of overlocker thread

Presser Foot: Multi-Purpose Foot

Stitch: 3-thread flatlock (narrow)

Set the overlocker for a 3-thread flatlock using the right needle.

Adjust settings as directed below.

Fabric will not be cut for this technique and the upper knife needs

to be disengaged. On the 1300MDC, 1150MDA, 800DL & 700D,

raise the upper knife and lock it in the “up” position to disengage.

On the L 460 and L 450, disengage the knife by opening sewing

table and looper cover; press knob in and turn clockwise until knife

engages at lower position.

Attach the Multi-Purpose Foot only (no guide), following the

directions in the instruction leaflet for the Multi-Purpose Foot

with Guide.

Lay the pre-strung beads in the channel on the right side of the

foot, threading them under the rear guide (see instruction leaflet

for the Multi-Purpose Foot with Guide).

Turn the handwheel to encase the first beads inside the thread

chain.

Fold the fabric in half to 2” x 8” and place the fabric under the foot

with the fold halfway between the needle and the stitch finger or

against the right seam guide.

Slowly flatlock the beads to the folded fabric.

Gently pull the fabric flat.

To reset and activate the knife:

On the 1300MDC, 1150MDA, 800DL & 700D, rotate the knife to

the down position until it clicks. On the 1300MDC, there is a button

to depress to lower the arm down before rotating the blade. On the

L460 & L 450, press the knob in and turn counter-clockwise until

knife engages at the upper position.
