well, the card and tape interferes with the movement and dodging the needle without some sort of foot is a bit more dicey than my little heart cares to handle! <g>
I believe there is a specific feed dog cover you can buy. Also a darning or applique foot would be needed. Sadly, these are highly sort after by Featherweight owners (not sure why cause it would be difficult to FMQ on a FW) and the prices are sky high, if you can find one.
