To be victorious we must locate an item the Brother website refuses to acknowledge ... a Darning Foot that fits the Brother LX-3125E (aka, the cheep but fun Fashion Faces). This is one quilter that will not rest until it is possible to perform the delicate dance of Free motion quilting on this inexpensive machine.
(seriously, anybody know where I can get a darning foot to fit the LX-3125E? I can find a walking foot, a 1/4 in foot, zipper ect. but nothing that would work for free motion.)
I don't know if this Brother uses the same feet as my Brother 1500S but I had a heck of a time trying to find an open darning foot for mine. I was doing some real technical stitching and I couldn't see clearly through the plastic center. I could get a replacement foot with a clear plastic center with a hole in it for FMQ but not one without the center insert. I phoned, I googled, I spoke to sales people and I bought a number of feet that I ultimately had to return. My solution was to purchase a second FMQ foot, get out my handy dremel and physically remove the plastic insert. Note, if you do this yourself wear eye protection, better yet have your favorite handyman with a proper vise do it.
