I was concerned about that, but I always start with a piece of scrape for a leader which they said helps and the instruction manual tells you to use the little plastic spacer thingy it comes with to level it out on both sides when stitching close to the edge as you would do when topstitching along the edge of collar. I will let you know. I do know you still use the same 1/4 inch foot that you use with the 440. I have tried out the decorative stitches (there are hundreds) and they are definitely much nicer than the 5mm on my 440. It is amazing how much difference a few mm's makes.
Thanks everyone for sharing my joy and excitement. It makes it even more special to be able to share it all with you. :)
