I have the big foot and a smaller meteal one that I can't see where I have been when stitching. Bought the big foot a few days ago and love it. tonight, in fact it was less than 15 minutes ago I stepped on it and almost broke it so becareful if it should fall on the floor. Thank God it did not break. That's an expensive hunk of plastic. I need it for my thread painting that I have been working on . I've got two cats on it almost done. I posted pictures awhile back. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
