Bernina Zipper foot 54 with sliding sole

The Bernina Zipper Foot 54 with non-stick sole and guide is especially suitable for sewing on zippers on non-stick materials such as leather or plastic thanks to its special sole with non-stick coating.
Like Zipper foot 14 / 14D, Zipper foot 54 with sliding sole has an adjustable guide on the top of the foot. This makes it possible to achieve precisely even parallel seams when topstitching edges or sewing on piping.

• Thanks to the guide, the zipper is sewn straight and the edges neatly topstitched
• The non-stick coating under the sole allows it to glide smoothly
• For plastic, vinyl, leather, etc.
• For 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines
