stitchinjoy, what is the attatchment that she is using on her machine? and is there one like that for a Janome. I have been using a regular foot on mine. I need to get a 1/4 foot so that I can make my seams easier and I think that I will be able to move my fabric better if I have a foot on there that doesn't squish the fabric so much. I know that I should know what all the feet are called that you can us when sewing especially for quilting but I have never seen one like that.
Hi Sahm,
Leah Day says on her website that she sews with a Juki TL98 QE and she uses the foot that comes with it, modified with an open toe.

You do need a good 1/4" foot. It really helps with accurate piecing.

I have enough alcoholics in my family to start our own AA meeting. It's smart for you to avoid the wine. How about some great music and your beverage of choice. I am happy with a big cup of coffee most of the year, or a big glass of lemonade when it gets hot and humid. And listening to your favorite band can really get your rhythm going good when you are machine quilting. I always have music playing when I dance with my longarm machine. Music is magical.

So glad you are having an easy time ripping out.
