lol... Yes. Glenn has sparked my interest in quilting with the 66. I have that cover plate too, I believe it's the same as the darner one. Or at least my darner one is close to it.
Glenn, what do you use for a foot on your 66 to FMQ! A 'big foot', hopping embroidery foot, darner foot, or the embroidery foot that came with that plate???
Mostly I use the quiltling foot but I have used a regular foot and embroidery foot, The quilting foot has a wider V opening so less likely to hit with the needle. Don't force the feeding of the quilt under the foot or you will break needles. With a little practice you will feel the rhythm of the machine and will feed accordingly. Glenn
