I really don't have the "pinching" problem because they move by just spreading your fingers out and laying them down on top of the rings. It's just that, first of all I have to take the whole foot off the machine, slide the halos under, and then replace the foot. Then you really can't cover much area before you have to pick them up and move them again. It's just frustrating right now. I probably need to practice a lot. I am just getting into the quilting part of the process and it is discouraging. I have no problem with them sliding around since my machine bed is large and I do like the way" they" grab the fabric. It is really easier on my hands than "me" grabbing the fabric. Oh well, just another technique to master I guess.
Thanks for the encouragement.
