I am wondering if anyone can advise me on a presser foot to purchase. I have been using fooot #1 but have some trouble seeing my sewing area enough while raw edge appliquing. I would like to get a clear foot for this and went to the Bernina site to look them over I was thinking foot # 34 or #39, is there anyone who can advise ??

Check out the presser feet on the Bernina web site at: http://www.bernina.com/en-US/Product...resser-feet-us
From reading the descriptions on foot #34 and #39, I think #39 would be what you are looking for.

I have a 440 and I use #20 for applique. It comes standard with your machine, (It should) It has a wide opening to see, the line on the foot is not great, but I have learned to watch the needle, and not the foot, so it does not matter to me. But I am happy, it works for me. If you have that foot, try it, before you make the purchase. Also, I could not do it without the knee lift. a must for machine applique.

I really prefer an open toe foot....when I need to see where the needle is going. The best applique work that I have done is with an open toe, using the blanket stitch, and going nice and slow around the edge.
