Which brings me to a tip for you: You can free-motion quilt on ANY machine with a Stoppax attachment. This was made in Denmark 50+ years ago and is a heavy gauge wire which you attach to your machine. The only source I have for these is e-bay, usually under darning attachments. Thy usually go for $40-$60 each.

Thanks for the tip - I'll do a bit of digging on the Stoppax. I was also wondering if the feed dog cover from a buttonholer would work. The buttonholer I have is not made for Singers, and the cover doesn't fit. Have you tried this?
