Default FMQ help! The plastic foot broke; can I FMQ without it?
I was sewing away and came to a nice stop and noticed the oval shaped plastic foot on my Bernina that I use for FMQ was crooked. When I touched it part of the plastic fell off and now there's no nice hole for my needle to go and of course no pressure on the fabric as I FMQ.
The question is: What would happen if I try to FMQ without using any foot? Is it possible and what would the results be if it is?
No I did not "hit" the foot with the needle. My machine's about 10 yo so maybe the plastic has degenerated. I have to finish some projects before the end of the week and don't want to run out of town to get a new foot.
Looking for any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.
