I checked with Jenny at Sew Classic about a darning foot, not really a hopping foot and essentially she said "Good Luck with that". Needles are a challenge also. I have only 4 bobbins and while they look like L type, the L's may be too big by a hair. I just have to try them & see. Last night I was thinking I could make one out of heavy duty wire, since I don't need it to hop, just a circle to smooth & hold the fabric. I did see one quilter who FMQ with no foot attached so I may even try that on a practice piece. MacyBaby if you can get one made please let me know!
