#3C BERNINA Buttonhole Sewing Machine Foot
Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A makes it a cinch to sew buttonholes of the same length. You can then sew as many buttonholes of the exact same length as you want, in next to no time.

With Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A, a sensor on the presser foot determines the buttonhole length and relays the dimensions to the sewing machine. This allows perfectly identical buttonholes to be sewn again, until the size is changed. Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A is therefore ideal for sewing button plackets on garments and home furnishings.

Master Every Stitch With the #3C BERNINA Buttonhole Foot
Buttonholes
This foot takes the frustration out of making buttonholes. Use this foot to make the tiniest of buttonholes or stitch one as long as needed, even one large enough for a pocket opening.
Corded Buttonholes
Buttonholes stitched over cord offer an option for very heavy fabrics as well as a way to add stability to buttonholes on knit fabrics. High points of wear and stress, such as jeans, can also benefit from a corded buttonhole.
Gathering Over Cord
A good method for gathering heavier fabrics, such as denim or corduroy, the cord is looped at one end and will not come out as the ends are pulled.
Fine Edge Finish
Used as a finish for a single thickness of light to medium-weight fabric, this works well on ruffles, hems, pockets, and table or bed linens.
Roll and Whip Stitch
Seam delicate fabrics and lace.
Elastic Shirring
Create a shirred look to fabrics by stitching rows of the universal stitch, which works well on light to medium-weight fabrics, and is a good application for bodices, cuffs, and waistline areas.
Wired Edges
Give the edges of ruffles and bows body and substance so they will be crisp and can be formed to stand up.
Double Couching
Embellish the surface of fabric with a double row of decorative cord.
