Better Choice is to try to use your applique or Embroidery foot as a replacement.

The straight stitch foot still works fine so I'm assuming it's the w/f. I am thinking of using the straight stitch foot to complete the quilting....not sure how that will work....any ideas on that?
No stitching over pins......I think a pin from the quilt got snagged on the back,chunky part of the foot. With a small machine and a large quilt, I sometimes have a lot of quilt bulk to the right of the needle and pins get in the way. Perhaps that wasn't it at all but somehow the w/f was pulled out of line.
Thanks. I will look to see if my machine came with an emb. or applique foot.
