Really? Recently I saw a youtube video of someone FMQ without any presser foot. I had never seen that before. Lots of people thought it would be too dangerous to sew your finger. But, when I am FMQ, I have my hands on the fabric on both sides guiding the piece. Even with a presser foot on, my fingers don't come close to touching it. Hmmm, will have to try that. Thanks.
