Choosing presser feet, notions & threading can come down to a simple mismatch: do you need a focused decorative accessory, or a larger assortment tied to a particular sewing-machine family? Matching the task and machine first makes this comparison clearer than looking at piece counts alone.
Quick verdict
The P369 set is the focused choice for decorative stitching, while the Bernina set is built around a broader assortment for older Bernina machines. The listed prices are $19.49 and $30.39, creating a $10.90 gap. Choose the P369 when its specific use fits your project; choose the Bernina set when its named machine compatibility and larger format are the deciding factors.

Where each set wins
- P369 wins on price and task focus. Its lower listed price and decorative-foot purpose make it the more direct choice for projects involving specialty fabrics and embellishment work.
- The Bernina set wins on assortment breadth and machine-family detail. Its larger format and stated fit for older Bernina models make it more suitable when several presser-foot styles are wanted for one compatible setup.
Product notes
P369 Decorative Presser Foot Set
Choose the P369 set when your project calls for decorative stitching on fabrics such as wedding-dress material, eveningwear, lace, tulle, or silk. Its description identifies guidance for beads and sequins along with compatibility with JUKI sewing machines, giving it a clear task-and-machine pairing. The limitation is specialization: the three-piece format centers on that decorative-foot use rather than offering a broad assortment of foot styles. That focused design also means it makes the most sense when embellishment work is the priority, not when you are assembling a general-purpose accessory collection. For a shopper who wants a defined presser-foot job covered at the lower listed price, the P369 is the more direct match.
Bernina Old-Style Presser Foot Set
The Bernina set suits a machine that matches its older-family coverage, including models such as the 801, 803, 830, 1010, 1030, 1130, and 1230. It includes an adapter for a low-shank system and another for the older Bernina system, giving the assortment a clear machine-oriented purpose. The limitation is its compatibility boundary: the description says it will not fit newer Bernina sewing machines and excludes industrial and MINI machines. Its larger piece count is useful only when that assortment aligns with the sewing setup and the named older-machine use case. For shoppers with that fit, the Bernina set offers more pieces to work with than the focused P369 accessory.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the P369 set for a focused decorative-foot job, especially when JUKI compatibility and the lower listed price align with your setup.
- Choose the Bernina Old-Style Presser Foot Set when your machine belongs to the older Bernina family described above and you want a larger assortment.
- Use price as the tie-breaker when both task and compatibility are already settled: the P369 is the lower-priced choice, while the Bernina set justifies its higher price through its broader format and older-Bernina focus.
