well...slowly working on learning how to do applique with my bernina 590. Set it for my foot (open toe), my fabric (heavy woven as it has a light weight fusible fleece on the back), Using the single blanket stitch, and now attempting to adjust the foot hover.so I can easily do the turning without needing to raise the foot (supposed I could use the free hand leveler with my knee...but...)I found this setting is different than on the 570. The 570 gives three presser foot levels, The 590 will let me set it from zero to about a 1/4 of an inch. Yikes....yep...a learning curve. Off to give it a whirl.
