    I have a Bernina 1090 and it is now 29 years old. It is very similar to your 1230 in your video. I've asked my local Bernina dealer, and there are no ruler feet created for our older models, and they don't plan on making them. Where can I get the foot and adapter?

  2. I've never seen this type of quilting done before! Thanks for sharing and also the tip about the correct type of foot. I was about to go try it without!!!

  3. I love this Leah! Awesome job on the borders!!

    We're planning to begin carrying adapters and feet soon because of this need. Basically it's a Bernina low shank adapter screwed to a low shank ruler foot. I have heard dealers grumble about it and say that if it somehow hurts the machine, it's not covered by warranty. Just FYI on that. I've not had any problems so far and this fits perfectly!

    Eek! I'm glad you didn't! Get a ruler foot first and then go play.

    The power of echoes! It's so pretty!

  7. I just got a ruler quilting set. Was glad to see your video. I plan on using until my free motion gets better. Thanks. I was able to get one for my Baby Lock Crescendo.
