      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you were on a desert island with an unlimited supply of fabric and thread, your sewing machine (no serger), and could only take five presser feet, which would they be?</p>
<p><img style="float: right; margin: 8px; border: black 2px solid;" src="http://www.berninausablog.com/files/clear foot and ruler.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="347" />My first choice would be <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i147-sUS.html">Clear Foot #34</a>. I use it for all of my "regular" sewing - garments, home dec, crafts - usually with one of the seam guides attached to the back. It's very similar to <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i136-sUS.html">Reverse Motion Foot #1</a>, but clear plastic with a red center line.</p>
<p><img style="float: right; margin: 8px; border: black 2px solid;" src="http://www.berninausablog.com/files/edgestitch foot.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="319" />Second would be <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i140-sUS.html">Edgestitch Foot #10</a> - it does so many things! Edgestitching, topstitching, stitch-in-the-ditch, embellishing. The short toes make it great for going around curves, and it can be used with any stitch.</p>
<p><img style="float: right; margin: 8px; border: black 2px solid;" src="http://www.berninausablog.com/files/overlock foot.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="268" />Since I don't get to take my serger :( my next selection would be <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i160-sUS.html">Overlock Foot #2</a>. It doesn't do anything flashy, but it's a real workhorse, keeping all my edges from ravelling. And the little pin in the sole keeps the edges from pulling and tunneling. Overcasting by sewing machine isn't as fast as serging, but this foot combined with the overlock stitch does a super job.</p>
<p><img style="float: right; margin: 8px; border: black 2px solid;" src="http://www.berninausablog.com/files/walking foot.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="216" />My fourth foot would be my <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i62-sUS.html">Walking Foot #50</a>. I don't use it on every project, but when I need it I really need it. It's not just for quilts, either - any time I'm working with fabrics that don't want to stay under the foot I get out my Walking Foot #50 to "pinch" them into submission.</p>
<p><img style="float: right; margin: 8px; border: black 2px solid;" src="http://www.berninausablog.com/files/bsr.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="211" />Now I have a dilemna...would I rather embellish with decorative stitches (<a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i148-sUS.html">Clear Embroidery Foot #39</a>) or freemotion stitching (<a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n26-r-i166-sUS.html">Bernina Stitch Regulator #42</a>). I'll have to take the BSR - I've been doing lots of small projects with it lately, including darning a tear in one of my favorite shirts. I can use the open toe sole of my Walking Foot #50 for decorative stitches - I won't be able to stitch as quickly, but I haven't been doing a lot of satin decorative stitching lately.</p>
<p>I'm going to miss some of my other favorites - <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i67-sUS.html">Patchwork Foot #37</a>, <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i141-sUS.html">Bulky Overlock Foot #12</a>, <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i38-sUS.html">Binder #84</a>...no zipper or buttonhole feet, no fun embellishment accessories like <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i149-sUS.html">Freemotion Cording Foot #43 </a>or the <a href="http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n26-r-i92-sUS.html">Decorative Needle Punch Attachment</a>! Good thing I'm not really stranded without my big box of presser feet!</p>
