Freehand Quilting Foot 29 for Bernina sewing machines in the 1000 to 1530 range is the preferred foot for freehand quilting, freehand monograms and freehand embroidery; it has a CLEAR sole for improved visibility. The 9mm wide needle opening allows the use of any stitch at any width and contributes to good visibility Combined with Bernina's Hopper Mechanism, this foot gives excellent fabric control (no flagging) while the stitches are being formed as well as the ability to move the project freely under the foot
