The BERNINA Open Embroidery Foot #20, #20C and #20D helps you follow lines and patterns when sewing decorative embroidery. Its open-front design gives you a clear view of the stitching area for precise placement, making it useful for Richelieu and circular embroidery as well as other decorative sewing projects.

Key Features:

• Decorative Embroidery — Designed for machine-sewn embroidery, including Richelieu and circular embroidery.
• Open-front Visibility — Keeps the stitching area visible so you can follow marked lines and patterns with greater control.
• Dual Feed Option — The #20D version works with BERNINA Dual Feed on compatible machines to help guide fabric evenly.
• Compatible Models — Offered in Old Shank (530–1630), Old Shank (1630–9 mm), 5.5 mm #20, 9 mm #20C and 9 mm Dual Feed #20D versions; see variant selector above. Confirm your machine model, attachment style and stitch width before ordering.

How to Know Which Foot You Need:

• Check the Attachment Style — Old-style/old-shank feet have a dual-prong attachment. New-style feet have a solid front at the attachment. Choose the old-shank version appropriate to your machine, including the dedicated 1630–9 mm option where applicable.
• Check Stitch Width and Dual Feed — Match the foot to your machine’s stitch width and feed system:
  • 5.5 mm: choose the standard no-letter #20 version for an appropriate new-style machine.
  • 9 mm without Dual Feed: choose #20C for a compatible machine.
  • 9 mm with Dual Feed: choose #20D for a machine equipped with BERNINA Dual Feed.
• Confirm Machine Features — Newer BERNINA machines can accept standard, C and D feet where compatible, but fitting a D foot does not add Dual Feed to a machine without that feature. Check your model and the offered variant.
