If you’ve ever struggled to stitch through layers of denim, canvas, or other thick fabrics, we’ve got just the foot for you—meet the BERNINA Jeans Foot #8 and #8D! These powerhouse presser feet are designed to handle your toughest sewing challenges while delivering precise, professional results.
What Makes the Jeans Foot #8 / #8D So Special?
The BERNINA Jeans Foot is specifically engineered to glide over thick seams, dense fabrics, and multiple layers—making it ideal for garment construction, bag-making, quilting, and even mending.
Here’s why it’s a must-have:
Precision on Thick Fabrics
The narrow shape and flat sole of the #8 and #8D provide maximum control, especially when sewing straight seams on heavy materials like denim, canvas, or twill.
Supports Perfect Topstitching
Want beautifully even topstitching? These feet help feed heavy layers evenly, ensuring your decorative or structural stitches stay consistent.
Compatible with Dual Feed (for #8D)
If you’re working with a BERNINA machine featuring Dual Feed, the #8D foot offers an extra level of fabric control, helping layers feed through evenly from top and bottom—great for bag seams, quilt sandwiches, and more.
When Should You Use the Jeans Foot?
Think beyond denim! Here are some ideal uses for the BERNINA Jeans Foot:
- Sewing heavy seams in jeans or workwear
- Constructing quilted bags or pouches with multiple layers
- Attaching leather or vinyl accents
- Hemming thick home decor fabrics (like canvas curtains)
- Adding clean topstitching to any project
Pair the foot with a sharp jeans needle and sturdy thread, and you’re ready to take on thick fabric projects with confidence!
