The BERNINA Pintuck Foot with 3 Grooves #30 creates decorative pintucks in heavier-weight fabrics when used with a 4 mm double needle. Its grooved sole guides the raised tucks as you sew, helping you create evenly spaced texture for garments and decorative projects. It is also suitable for mini-piping, elastic gathering, couching braids and trim, Entredeux, and chopstick work.

Key Features:

• Decorative Pintucks — Designed for sewing pintucks with a 4 mm double needle, particularly in heavier-weight materials.
• Three-Groove Sole — Guides previously sewn pintucks beneath the foot to help maintain consistent spacing.
• Guided Fabric Feed — Grooves accommodate the raised tucks as the fabric moves under the foot.
• Versatile Techniques — Suitable for mini-piping, elastic gathering, couching braids and trim, Entredeux, and chopstick work.
• Compatible Models — Available in Old Shank (530–1630) and 5.5 mm versions; see variant selector above. Match the attachment style to your machine before ordering.

How to Know Which Foot You Need:

• Old Style / Old Shank — The dual-prong attachment is intended for the older BERNINA machines covered by the Old Shank (530–1630) option.
• New Style — Has a solid front at the attachment. Choose the 5.5 mm option only after checking compatibility with your machine.
• Check Stitch Width and Dual Feed
  • 5.5 mm — The standard #30 foot is offered in the 5.5 mm variant.
  • 9 mm / C Version — A C variant is not offered in this listing. Check your machine’s accessory guide for suitability of the standard #30 foot.
  • Dual Feed / D Version — A D variant is not offered in this listing. Do not assume the standard #30 foot provides Dual Feed functionality.
• Confirm Your Machine — Physical fit alone does not add a machine feature. Check your machine model, attachment style, and accessory guide against the selected variant.
