sorry it's upside down, but I can't figure out how to rotate.

It does indeed look like a walking foot, but I don't know what machine it might be for.
Not a waling foot. I doesn't appear to have teeth on the bottom of it. Looks more like some kind of cording foot or something that needs to roll the fabric. Maybe a ruffle foot.
It looks similar to an old generic walking foot that I have but I think yours is something else. If you lift the fork, does the middle section where the needle goes in lift up and down? Mine doesn't have any teeth on the bottom, but it clearly is a walking foot. I think your foot is for another purpose. Do you know what machine it's made for?
Walking foot for flat felled seams?? Just guessing. Is that screw for an adjustment?
I have a Bernina, bought used, and this came with it along with a true walking foot made especially for Bernina. I think this may be a universal something.Quote:

well, if it was a side cutter, I'm assuming there'd be a sharp piece to it, but there isn't. It's all easily touched by me. In the pic, it looks like there's some sort of shank attached to it too. It's close, but not the same thing. Hmm, very weird. The mystery continues I guess.
no screw and nothing moves except that fork.Quote:

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.
This just might be it...hmmmm.

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.
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!
