If you girls all want a laugh, I saw this and wondered why this woman was sewing without a foot. I am thinking she must be using the knee option to make the machine run. I wondered what happened to her foot. Then I wondered why all of you thought that running the machine with a foot was dangerous. After reading about 4 posts, I finally understood that she was running the machine without a presser foot. I guess I watched to much about the Boston Bombings. I am an idiot!
