My hopping foot blues should be over pretty soon. A tech from Juki contacted me about the feet issue. He's suppose to be sending me out a replacement foot. I'll try and call him later on today to check up on it.
It turns out that the feet are covered in oil for ship transport from overseas and they changed the company that supplied their oil. Now the oil is drying and turning to glue more or less lol. You can loosen the foot up with a spray of wd40 and tapping it with a hammer... I actually don't have wd40. It's on my shopping list now. He was going to send me one.
He asked for me to send a picture of the binder foot and he was going to see what he could find to work for the binder foot attachment. I think that I could actually alter this foot a little with a dremel tool if my husband or father in law is brave enough. There were two binder feet available - a 604 and a 602. I purchased the 602. I'm not sure what the difference is. I found online that the 604 was to be used with binder attachements 1 1/4" or larger which I was planning on getting. I wonder if I really needed the 602. The company I purchased it from was absolutely no help. It's frustrating to say the least but as soon as I get it all figured out I'm sure that I'll be happy as a clam.
