The foot I seem to use the most is the 1/4 in foot with the guide and will probably use the darning foot once I start stippling and free machine quilting more ( have to work up the courage )
I also have a walking foot which i also use regularly..
have fun shopping...
I use the 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 a lot. I use it to square (or size up) blocks, also to square corners of quilt tops. The 1/4 in. foot is what I use the most when piecing blocks. Then to assemble blocks, I use the walking foot.
sounds like i may have to invest in a 12.5 x 12.5 as it seems quite a few of you like that one...now i will just have to go shopping..running out the door! :lol:
