    I tend to agree with Marilyn, it looks like it may be a ruffler or pleater. The actual foot part, from what I can see, looks like there is a place to feed the fabric and since the arm goes over the screw on the needle bar the whole foot would hop to allow for a pleat or ruffle to be made with each stitch.

    Personally, I don't think that foot is for a Bernina. I have a Bernina 150QE and all the feet are authentic; each having a number. The walking foot has Bernina stamped on the side. I've looked at every single Bernina foot available for your 440QE that I can find and I see nothing that looks like that. Perhaps it belonged to another machine and was thrown in when you bought your machine.

    It turns your sewing machine into an overlock/serger. It stitches and cuts the edge of the fabric as it goes.

    I'd have to pull my 'foot' out - but it looks exactly like a low-shank attachment that I have for an old Singer . . . if the foot moves on yours then that's what it is. It will move the fabric back and forth on a straight-stitch machine, allowing you do make zig-zags. Mine does not have a cutting blade on it - so doesn't do the 'serger' thing.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    hi folks, just to circle back....I found out it's a Side Cutter II. It connects to my Bernina with an adapter shank. I haven't been able to actually try it out yet, but it supposedly works like a serger would, cutting and serging the fabric. Interesting!
