I got tired of breaking buttons when I used my machine to sew them on. I searched the internet for Bernina #18 pressure foot for sewing on buttons. All I could find were feet that were "compatible with" a Bernina. They appeared to be all metal in the photo images. I found that SewingPartsOnline.com carried the Bernina foot. The Bernina foot has what appear to be rubber "bumpers" to grip the button and keep it from moving. Although the price was more than I wanted to pay, it is genuine Bernina and the price is in line with what Bernina pressure feet cost. I ordered the pressure foot at 9:06 pm Sunday night and UPS just delivered it to me at 11:00 am Thursday morning. Best part: Had I bought it at the Bernina dealer for the same price I would have had to pay $4.50 tax plus a 40 mile round-trip to the store. I only paid $2.73 in shipping and no tax and no 2 gallons of gas to get to the dealer.f I was amazed at the inventory this site has. I have bookmarked the site for future needs.
