A device used with Bernina sewing machines, this small but essential tool helps maintain consistent seam allowances. It attaches to the sewing machine bed and acts as a physical guide against which fabric is positioned during sewing. Different seam widths can typically be achieved by adjusting the guide’s position or using different guide attachments.
Accurate seam allowances are fundamental to successful sewing projects. Consistent stitching lines contribute to professional-looking results, proper pattern fitting, and accurate joining of fabric pieces. This type of tool eliminates guesswork and ensures uniformity, particularly beneficial for quilting, garment construction, and projects demanding precision. While the concept of seam guides has existed for decades, modern iterations offer enhanced adjustability and compatibility with specific sewing machine models.
