Thanks for all of your encouraging responses! I was able to get the foot on my machine today, that felt like quite an accomplishment in itself
Did a short test run but without my slider and gloves and I'm sure they will help. I'm also still learning my new machine, so I will have to be patient with the process.
Susie-Susie- wish me luck, too. Let us know how you are doing once you decide to jump in.
