thanks everyone. I believe this machine would sew through dry wall if I could get it under the foot. I just love sewing on it. I can take the master cam out and position the needle any where I would like. However, the needle is easily dislodged. trying to get a picture sent but, as usual, I am having problems. I wanted to be able to reposition the needle for piecing quilts. It is so much easier if your 1/4 inch seam can be measured against the edge of the presser foot. I will certainly try Sew- Classic
