Well, I only use 5% of my brain 100% of the time.
I think I'm doing really well with the 20% on the sewing machine.
Mostly I use my fancy Viking Sapphire 875 for quilting and sometimes garments. I have quilted baby quilts using the fancy stitches with a walking foot. Otherwise its mostly straight stitches. I use my straight stitch only machines for piecing my quilts, mostly just my treadles.
The dealer said my Sapphire 855 does not need a walking foot as it has the automatic pressure foot. ???
