When it comes to appliquéing with a narrow satin-stitch (up to 2 mm), Appliqué foot # 23 is the expert: its sophisticated design allows the fabric to feed easily over the stitches, even in the case of very dense rows of stitching.

A cutout on the front of the presser foot will hold a narrow couching thread, making for trouble-free sewing of satin-stitching with cording. With its wide thread channel under the sole, Appliqué foot # 23 is also ideal for sewing mini-piping, or for traditional sewing techniques.

And since Appliqué foot # 23 features a clear sole, you’ll have a perfect view of the stitch area at all times – a decisive advantage, especially when following outlines and corners. In the 24th section of the BERNINA presser-feet online tutorial we'll present you the appliqué foot no. 23. The appliqué foot is ideal for appliquéing with narrow satin stitching of up to 2mm width. This is particularly used in children and infant clothing, heirloom stitching, and quilting. The presser foot is shorter than most other feet which makes it the ideal choice for following outlines, curves and corners. The widening indentation allows smooth feeding of compact stitching. The clear sole gives a good view of the stitching area

Allbrands carried the accessories I needed, when my own dealer employee claimed they could not locate what I saw online. I avoided a long two way gas wasting trip watching them struggle with their computer system, by just buying from Allbrands. If I wanna watch an hour of fumbling I can just do it myself at home. The feet I ordered were perfect and the difference in price was about $10 once you factor in my time, gas, and impatience. Thanks!
