Thank you, JoAnn
JoAnn...When you are stitching in the ditch (SID), you want to run a line of stitching as close as possible to the seams in your quilt. The blade in the middle of the foot is run just alongside that seam and because the needle runs right behind the blade, you get an even and straight line of stitching just next to the seam. Then the quilt is washed, that line of stitching is barely noticable.
