Funny "in reference to how they are training their dealers" comment--when I picked up my Babylock at my dealer after a cleaning and repair, I asked if I could use the 1/4 inch foot from my Janome on my Babylock (I had the foot with me and showed it to her). Her answer--if you can get it to work, it should work. What a rediculous answer!!! So, I asked her if there was an equivalent foot from Babylock other than the foot included with the machine as I don't find that one to work at all. She went and looked in the store for well over 5 minutes and then came back and said "no".
