I have tried it but 1 ran into a problem.
Inserting the lifting plate is not a problem and the normal plate goes on top.
When i try to catch the bobbin thread without a foot, an presser foot (without foot) in down position.
The upper thread does not catch the bobbin thread.
If I have a foot attached, then I can catch the bobbin thread but I have no way of moving the fabric around because the presser foot presses the fabric against the slide plate.
According to the manual it should be possible to do it without feed
Have not tried setting the stitch length to zero yet.
