I've been doing free motion embroidery for years. I never liked the darning feet that came with the machine. I bought one with a large opening and I like it better. I've been known to work without a foot on at all. :roll: Leave it to me to be the "rebel". I guess I'll watch and learn about this thing. I guess until I get into this part of the quilting gig I'm the "regulator". Hmm... I think I may have to try that on the family. Do you think it would help me win arguements?
