List of 1630 Publications from Bernina A list of the 1630 specific publications put out by Bernina, with links for descriptions to each.  Oh No!  Bernina no longer has this info on their website.  

Perhaps someone could compile the list (by contacting their dealer, etc) and send the info the to 1630 list.  Then I could put it up here. - ashley

List of all Bernina feet An excellent list of all Bernina feet .  Click on a link to see a picture of the foot, a description, and ideas for using it!  A great way to see what's missing from your collection.  Oh No!  Bernina no longer has this info on their website.  Too bad, cause it was handy.  You can go to the Bernina USA site, look at Products, then accessories, then presser feet.  It will list each of the feet, so you can read about each one.
