I had forgotten I had it under the needle using it to cut a few wings from a block. Since my foot is a 1/4" foot, there was no need to use the needle plate for aligning my next step to sew. I always guide the needle first into the fabric for the first stitch. Didn't even notice it was a little stiff. LOL
I sewed about two inches and then saw why sewing was so difficult.
I know the modern plastic machines couldn't do that.

Hope you all enjoy the laugh like I did when I realized what I had done.
