Master Every Stitch With the #0 BERNINA Zigzag Foot
Basic Gathering
Basic gathering uses long, loose stitches to gently pull fabric together, creating soft fullness for ruffles, sleeves, skirts, and shaping fabric before final stitching.
Oversewing Fabric Edges
Zigzag stitching makes a good seam finish for stable woven fabrics.
Seaming Tricot
A strong, narrow seam is best used for lingerie made of tricot.
Elastic Waitband
An elastic waistband creates a flexible, comfortable fit by encasing elastic inside fabric, making it ideal for pajamas, skirts, shorts, and everyday garments with easy pull-on wear.
Lace Edging
Developed for finishing knit fabrics, this technique is a good trim for lingerie.
Shell Edging
This is a decorative hem for tricot.
Zigzag Seam For Knits
Perfect for knit fabrics, this seam is sewn with a very narrow zigzag stitch, which has more give than one sewn with a straight stitch, but can still be pressed open.
Double/Triple Needle Stitching
Double or triple needle stitching uses multiple parallel rows of stitches to create a professional, stretchy finish that’s perfect for hems, decorative details, and knit garments like t-shirts and activewear.
Double Needle Knit Hem
Duplicate the look of a garment industry hem using a double needle.
Ribbon Embellishment
Sew both sides of a narrow ribbon at the same time.
Triple Needle Designer Hem
A good choice for sheer or lightweight fabrics, this technique places extra thread at the hemline, giving it enough weight to hang properly.
