Does anyone know if the #57 presser foot (1/4" patchwork with guide) fits a 440QE? I have a heck of a time getting accurate 1/4" seam allowances (I can't sew in a straight line!), and I'm thinking the guide on this foot may help. Has anyone used one? -
Kay, Yes this foot does fit the 440QE and is fantastic. I get a great
scant quarter inch seam. Something else that helps is to run a strip
of painters tape from the quarter inch line out on the bed of your machine to align the fabric as you feed it. Connie in NE Ohio -
Yes, it works just fine. Bernina also makes a patchwork seam guide you might like.
I find this little gadget indispensable!

When you get the #57 foot just make sure that the guide is adjusted properly. Mine was a generous 1/4 inch instead of a scant 1/4. There is a tiny screw on the back that can be used to adjust the guide position. Now that it is adjusted properly, I LOVE IT!

At the class for new owners today I learned that Bernina has an adaptor foot so we can use feet from other machines. It costs about $12 at the shop where I was and of course, it was out of stock. Then, I'll be able to use my quarter inch foot (quite like the #57) from my Elna.

I have the equivalent foot for my Pfaff and I LOVE it!
It is much less straining to keep my 1/4" seams perfect with this foot.
I definitely recommend it.
