Some fabrics just love to cause trouble. Vinyl clings, leather drags, and plastic downright refuses to glide. But when your creative vision includes these stubborn materials, you need the right tool to keep your stitches flowing — enter the BERNINA Zigzag Foot with Non-Stick Sole #52/#52C/#52D.
Designed specifically for “sticky” fabrics, this specialty foot lets you sew confidently through challenging textures without skipped stitches, frustration, or DIY hacks.
What Makes It So Special?
The magic lies in the non-stick sole — a specially coated underside that glides over materials like vinyl, leather, plastic, and other coated fabrics with zero resistance. It looks similar to the standard Zigzag Foot #0, but its performance on difficult materials puts it in a league of its own.
You’ll get neat, consistent stitch patterns every time, whether you’re sewing straight lines, zigzags, or decorative stitches.
Which One Do You Need?
- #52 – For standard BERNINA machines with a 5.5 mm stitch width
- #52C – For machines with a wider 9 mm stitch width
- #52D – Dual Feed compatible, perfect for thick or layered materials on BERNINA machines with Dual Feed
Each foot is tailored to your machine’s specs, but all deliver the same reliable, frustration-free experience across sticky surfaces.
