You didn't mention what the model number of your Bernina is?? The foot I use mostly is a 37 (1/4"). Both my Bernina came with a box full of feet which are mentioned in the owner's manual. I have never used the zipper foot or the buttonhole foot.

Actually - I should have made my question clearer -
what presser feet (on any machine) do you use?
I have gone through the presser feet that I have with different machines - and am still puzzled by many of them - I have no idea how to use them - much less of what they are called!

I have an old (1972) Bernina 830 Record, and have at least tried all of the feet at one time or another. If I don't use one for a long time it's not unusual for me to forget what it's for. So to try to prevent having to scour the manual, I sort them in baggies in a box with alphabetically ordered dividers and put a piece of paper in with each one telling what it is and the page number in the manual where it's explained. This has helped me a lot, to the extent that I remember to put them back correctly when I take them off the machine. If your machine is from that era I can probably identify the feet, but it may take some doing because my machine and its parts haven't been unpacked since our move last year. The business end of the feet will be similar to those of many other machines and shouldn't be too hard to identify. Here's a web resource that may be a help, depending on which machine you have - scroll down to where she lists the answers. http://mimikirchner.com/blog/archive...ew-tools-toys/
After you know what foot you have, it's often possible to go to Youtube and find a video demo of how to use each one.

What model Bernina did you buy? Perhaps some of us who have a Bernina can help you identify your presser feet if we have the number or a picture. Mine is old I have a 930, but this baby has worked so had over the years and is still gong strong. I bought it new in 1985.

I just got (two days ago) the Baby Lock Destiny. It comes with 16 feet and then as part of their promo they threw in an additional 30 feet. I have only pieced cottons together - lol, there sure are a lot of feet to look at and be bewildered by! I am looking forward to trying at least half of them out.

Hi,
I downloaded the Bernina Ap on my iPad and it has a tab that you can punch in your machine number and it identifies all of the feet that work on your machine. You can also save all of the feet you own and save all of the feet that you wish to own. If you click on the foot number it will take you to a You Tube video and show you how it works. It is a nice little ap to download.
