Choosing between two presser feet, notions & threading options comes down to fit and purpose: do you need an assortment for a specific older Bernina machine, or one focused foot for free-motion quilting? The 34PCS Presser Foot Set targets named old-style Bernina models, while the Free Motion Quilting Presser Foot is designed around visibility and control for quilting techniques.
Quick verdict

|---|---|---|---|
| 34PCS Presser Foot Set for Bernina Old Style 801 • 830 • 1030 • 1130 • 1230 •530 | $30.39 | Multi-foot presser-foot set | Bernina old-style models and a universal adapter |

Where each product wins
The Bernina set wins on assortment and model specificity. It is the more direct choice for a compatible old-style Bernina machine when you want a range of presser-foot styles in one purchase. The included universal adapter and older Bernina adapter add to that broader format. Its listed price is $30.39, or $18.60 above the quilting foot, so the additional scope comes with a clear higher purchase price.
The Free Motion foot wins on focused quilting work. Its open front is intended to improve visibility for stippling, meandering and thread painting, while the spring action helps keep fabric from lifting with the needle. It is also described for most low-shank snap-on machines, including Singer, Brother and Janome examples. At $11.79, it suits a shopper who needs one specialized quilting accessory rather than a multi-foot assortment.
Product notes
34PCS Presser Foot Set for Bernina Old Style 801 • 830 • 1030 • 1130 • 1230 •530
The appeal here is breadth: the set combines 32 presser feet with a universal adapter and an adapter for older Bernina systems. Its fit details name Bernina 801, 803, 830, 1010, 1030, 1130 and 1230 models, which gives shoppers a useful compatibility starting point. That specificity is also the main limitation. The description says the older-system adapter will not work with newer-style Bernina machines, and the set is not intended for industrial or mini sewing machines. At $30.39, it requires more spend than the single quilting foot, so choose it when the multi-foot format and older Bernina fit both match your sewing plans.
Free Motion Quilting Presser Foot - For Singer, Brother, Janome & More
This metal foot earns consideration when the goal is free-motion work rather than a collection of foot styles. The open front is designed to keep the stitching area visible for stippling, meandering and thread painting, and the spring action helps keep fabric from lifting as a stitch forms. The fit description covers most low-shank snap-on machines and names Singer, Brother, Janome, Toyota, Babylock, Janome, Juki and Bernina Bernette examples. Its limitation is focus: the title and description center on quilting and embroidery techniques, making it a specialized addition rather than an assortment of presser feet. It is the natural match when that specific task is your priority.
Final choice by use case
- For an old-style Bernina in the named model range: choose the 34PCS Presser Foot Set for its assortment and included adapters.
- For free-motion quilting, stippling or thread painting: choose the Free Motion Quilting Presser Foot for its open front and spring action.
- For the lower listed price: the Free Motion Quilting Presser Foot is $11.79, compared with $30.39 for the Bernina set.
In short, the Bernina set is the fit-specific assortment choice; the Free Motion foot is the focused quilting choice.
