I have several Bernina overlock/cover stitch machines and I looooove the compensating feet I have for each! I understand a lot of people don’t understand how to use this foot. This is a great explanation!

Nice! Bernina is introducing feet styles usually only seen with industrial sewing machines. If I ever upgrade my Ovation I may have to go with the Bernina. I like how you can adjust all your settings.

Hi Teresa, BERNINA is definitely ahead of the curve on feet and total stitch control maximizes specialty stitches and lets you fine tune them. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

This foot has been around since 1994 on the Bernina 2000DCE!

I wonder, would this foot attach into a babylock coverlock machine?

Hi Nina, No, the compensating foot just fits the BERNINA L890. Most brands of presser feet fit their own brand of machine and some are very specific to certain models as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for watching!

Thank you for showing this foot. I have an Evolution that I like except for the trouble I have using the coverstitch over a bulky seam. To keep the lines of stitching from going wonky I have to put a height compensating tool under the back of the foot just as the front of the foot reaches the thicker seam. Would this foot eliminate this type of problem? Looks like it did in your demo. I am anxious to try out an L890 and make a comparison.

Hi Carol, The L890 height compensating foot is great for left to right height differences, not front to back. Here's my "Over the Hump" solution. At the crease of the hem, clip the seam allowance up to but not through the needle thread. Flip that seam allowance to the opposite side. It eliminates some of the bulk. As the toe of the presser foot approaches the seam allowance, stop and lift the foot to let the seam relax and lie straight. Increase the stitch length several clicks to compensate for the extra layers and stitch across the "hump. Once you get past the seam allowance, stop again and adjust stitch length back to the original length. Often it's the too short stitch length that creates the problem at the hump. Let me know if you need more help. You'll fall in love with the L890. It's super easy to get comfortable with, especially with built-in video tutorials. Let me know your thoughts and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

can I use this foot for quilting? with the 3 thread overlock stitch?

Hi Esperanza, yes, you can use it with any stitch and for all types of projects. It’s versatile and the presser feet are on sale this month. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

Gail, would this foot help when doing topstitching using the 890 coverstitch to stitch parallel lines by the seam? I was trying to do some topstitching on sweater fleece but I think because the foot was partially on and off the bulky seam line , that the coverstitch stitching wasn’t straight as the seam is bulky underneath where serged. If I coverstitch the same fabric without the bulky seam, it’s perfect. I saw this video and thought this foot may be solution for this issue - thoughts?

It might work but a Clover 6-in-1 Stitch & Stick seam guide would be a better bet. You can find them at your sewing machine dealer or chain store. Happy holidays and thanks for watching

That compensating foot is nice, but all the noise that Bernina CS is making would be annoying to me.

Hi Judy, The compensating foot is super cool. The L890 is actually the quietest machine on the market. In my videos, I should always say that the microphone on my camera is just a couple of inches away from the machine and it amplifies the sound. If you have a chance, try out the L890 at a dealer and you'll hear how much quieter it is than any other serger. Even the air threading is quieter. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips and Happy National Serger Month!

It was too dark & you need to show what the back side looks like😢

@GailPatriceDesign 10 ай бұрын

Hi Beth, the fabric was dark in the video but the main focus was on how the right toe of the compensating foot dropped down to equalize the feeding of the fabric. The back of the stitching looked like a narrow Coverstitch from the looper side. Thanks for watching!
