Sounds like I will need to know if I want to purchase additional feet that didn't come with the machine.
Don't know.
There is a lot of excellent information in this post. I hope my brain can remember everything I learn on the quiltingboard. So much!
Yes, you do need to know what type shank your machine receives! I have a Bernina, so I had to buy a special adaptor so that I could use other manufacturers feet. With the adaptor, I have a low shank, and can and do use vintage feet on my machine that were intended for old Singers!
