When you are doing something like hst's where you are not sewing along the edge of the fabric, do you remove the foot and put a regular foot on? Or can you sew with the blade running ACROSS the fabric?

I hope you understand what I am trying to ask...LOL.


I use my foot with the blade when making HST's. I sew along the edge of the fabric and start with a little scrap to chain piece through them. I don't cut off my little ears until I'm done sewing them. Some quilter's swear by cutting the corner's first, I use them to my advantage and keep my 1/4" foot on.
