Interesting. I bought this foot a few years ago and hate it. I don't like that spoke on it. I use my #20 foot instead and get great results. Glad you like it, though.

I have the button foot for my Elna 7200 and love it - it's fast and results in consistantly perfectly sewn buttons although I have to admit it took a little practice to perfect the technique.

I, too love this foot, although I have the #18 - the older one without the grip on the bottom. I was so glad when Bernina came out with this foot with the spoke! I love having a shank without fooling around with a toothpick or two (or something else) to get the right size shank. With this foot you can adjust the spoke to have more or less shank. I think it is wonderful as it is so easy! I have been sewing buttons on with my Berninas since the 70's and I think this foot is worth twice its cost!

I use this foot all the time too. And, Donna H, you can remove the little arm with the spoke on it if you would like to. I needed to replace mine when I broke the spoke (don't ask) and it comes right off with a bit of tugging.

PattiB Thanks. I'll go give it a tug and see if it comes off!
