I'm not sure I understand....I lowered the feed dogs...I need to lower or raise the presser foot lever? When I tried to FMQ without a foot I got the snarly mess. I'm a bit confused.
I don't have a darning foot or FMQ foot, so I will hunt for one. I have a Janome and I think there are dealers not too far away. Thanks for this help....just need the above clarified for me. (Ya' know this brain is old....spell things out for me!) :lol:
Well, I went a bought a darning foot for the Janome and went to town! Really hard when you go slow, so I learned to speed it up and had a good time. I have a hard time staying away from designs I DON'T want to FMQ, but after two I think I will try some more! Thank you all for your help! Oh, FYI, these are mug rugs I'm doing for our women's give away (themed "coffee" "The Best Part Of Waking Up Is Jesus In Your Life!" LOL!) So we are giving coffee mugs as some of the gifts and I'm making rugs for them.
My first attempt at FMQ after buying a darning foot!

Second attempt, a bit harder, but liking it.
