Should I just keep trying and keep what I've got or break down and get the open toe? Any disadvantages?
Paper, I know this isn't a LA, but if your foot can be modified you may save yourself some money. This gal has 365 days of FMQ on going on her blog. I'm sure that us LA'ers can adapt her FMQ to our machines if we want. I have a foot that I was going to do then I found a ruler foot. If the ruler foot doesn't work out for me the way I want it to this will be what I do next. Good luck and let us know how it works if you 'break your foot'.
