Given I'm working with 5th graders learning to quilt, maybe a 100 year old sewing machine is not appropriate for the application.
Do you have a suggestion that will help me now, today, to solve the right now problem? One of my "modern plastic stuff" machines with a walking foot just died, and I need to get another one going. I don't have a lot of machines that are not in cabinets. One happens to be the high shank, Elgin 2468, a mid century all metal Japanese zig-zag machine. It seems to be a very high quality machine.
I don't have time to try three different foots and return them. The kids are supposed to donate their wheel chair quilts by Christmas. I need a solution now.
Can you answer my question?
