Do you have this foot?

I was browsing on the Berninausa site today - looking for #24. It's a foot that Harriet Hargrave mentioned specifically for the Berninas for the quilting class - #9 and #24. I think anyone with a Bernina knows what foot 9 is for. The foot is like a cat - it's had so many lives. With the 180E it was the first embroidery foot and when the 220 series came out it became the button sew on foot (there's still 18 for that but that's an additional accessory). Foot 9 I think comes with many of the Bernina machines. Prior to all this it was the darning foot. Darning? Well, that's just another name for mending. Very few people are into mending these days.
Back to 24. Well, look at you 9 foot and imagine half the circle portion of the foot cut off. If you have the BSR then you have the attachment that is basically the 24 foot.
One thing she didn't mention was the BSR. Well, I'm taking my BSR and that's all there is to it. Sorry Teach!
