For instance the quilting foot, do you still do FMQ the traditoinal way or what?

Satinedge has always been the most popular and if you understand all it is used for,it would be left on the machine 80% of them time.
This foot ALL by itself and on any sewing machine can do this:
Appliqué
Cutwork
Lettuce Edging
Petite Appliqué
Satin Stitch Edging
Trapunto Appliqué
Corded Satin Stitch Edging
Fishing Line Edges
Over casting
Wire Eddges
Edge Stitching
1/4" seams
Scant 1/4" Seams
Pintucking
Stitching In A Ditch
Top Stitching
Invisible Appliqué / Garments
Invisible Appliqué / Quilts
Invisible Binding
YOU NEVER HAVE TO HAND STITCH AGAIN ;) and when you're finished you don't see ANY stitch at all Yippie! Even on binding.
- the feet do 88 different things - you don't have to do all of those however, if you bought every foot from every manufacturer you would still only be able to do 40% of what our 3 feet do.
No sewing machine has these feet - the copies of my feet that they have are NOT the same and don't sew as well.
Have any questions? I'm ready to answer :)

Could you stop talking like your doing a sales pitch. I keep thinking the sham wow guy is gonna pop up. I know your stuff is imp to you, but if we wanted the sales pitch we'd read it on your site. We'd rather know you, the person.
Many of us appreciate that she posted the board directly to give us the information and I wish her the best of luck!
The info she provided was also at the website, word for word. I personally felt uncomfortable reading the copy and paste and just asked if she could be herself.
And to be even more honest, there isn't information on what the feet do. Not really. Information on what the feet do would be a paragraph each of each feet. Not one line on how awesome stuff is.
I personally felt uncomfortable with the way Clare was promoting herself. I expressed it.
Frankly that way of promoting yourself, turns me off and makes me less inclined to buy a product. For instance, I'm less inclined to buy a Kirby after hearing one of those guys do their pitch, same with rainbow. If one of them came on here to talk and talked the same way they did their sales pitch, I'd be very leery about buying anything else.
I simply asked her to be herself. Not to be the sales person.

Just because I like her feet, it does not mean I use them for everything. I think Clare has a right to expound on her product that can assist others to do things better and easier. If you want to get on your soap box and complain about her, you've done it. Leave it!!! It is not appropriate for you to be belitiling others on this site. Clare invented her product for a woman who was blind, to get her back into sewing. The feet work! If you really want to grill her, go to a quilt show where she is demonstrating and see for yourself what the feet do beyond what she does on her web site. Stop the negativity. The rest of the quilting world doesn't want to hear it.

Curious here.

Hey, I like your enthusiasm and all the wonderful information you provided. I think I gotta have at least one. I need all the help I can get with bindings on quilts and such. Thank you for taking the time to explain. :-)
I went to your site, but didn't see the feet. The LAT sounded pretty cool, though. Mmmmm.

I never try to do a sales pitch - just trying to answer all of you questions just as I've always done.
The feet do a lot- can't help that ;)
Sorry to disturb and I only came into the discussion because members emailed me and asked me to talk in here.

I'm a little confused about one of the posts where one poster seems to be reprimanded and her post is defined as a "sales pitch," while another poster is reprimanded for not "raving," both from the same responder.
The whole just curious here part also indicates I wasn't reprimanding her. I simply wanted to know why the person felt the way they did about the product.
Example.
While a cast iron frying pan works I likely would not be "raving" about one unless it is a Lodge Skillet pan. I wanted to know what the person who said "raving' felt the product lacked for them not to love it.
The Sales pitch, is if you look on the site and what Clare is saying her the same thing.
I don't think it's unkind to ask someone to be themselves and not sell me via an advertising spiel. I don't come to this board to be advertised to, if I wanted that, I'd click on the advertising flashies that flash to me, which ironically enough are eve related stuff. I come to converse with people.
For instance info for me, would be to hear in her own words how you can use that quilting foot to FMQ without having to hold it down. That is more info.
if you don't know me, it may appear I'm pushing my products on you - but know that I only posted at the request of members that have the feet and wanted me to help everyone understand.
I ONLY posted replying to posts that were stating things that I felt needed clarification.
I'm really not needing to go into forums to sell my product (thank God) as my company has been successful for 22 years despite the attempts of sewing machine manufactures to copy my products.
Know this..... NO sewing machine company has our feet - they may have some feet that do some techniques I listed but they do not have our feet.
Mine came first. I'm a mother of 2 an American and a woman just like you that cares about people. I invented the Satinedge foot for a woman that inspired me 27 years ago and still does to this day. Mary was born blind and deaf and wanted to sew. That is who I am - a person that cares.
I don't want you to be made to feel bad for your comments and hope that this all resolves itself and we all can get back to having fun with this amazing craft of quilting.
As for the FREE MOTION QUILTING that is NOT done using the Satinedge foot - You were right to question that.
Our Octi-Hoops are what does the Free Motion Quilting and it does not require any foot.
Please know that all I am here for is to educate you all as an educator for 27 years and never want to ever make any of you feel as if I'm invading your space.

After years of working with the feet I wrote a book consisting of 49 recipes of sorts for sewing techniques. This book is like a cook book in-that you don't have to learn it - you just use it to get all of your sewing ingredients together and mix it all up.
In addition to the workbook I've completed an instructional DVD that works in conjunction with the book. This DVD is like watching me prepare the foot on the plate - so all of the mixing is already done in the workbook.... settings like needle to use, thread in both needle and bobbin, stitch to use - width, length etc....
The video was filmed close up - so you don't have to stare at me but rather at the feet. All I know is that we have a large customer base and those that open the package and start using them are happy. :o) and that makes me happy :) if my company was out to frustrate you with pushy sales tactics and a product that didn't live up to my claims then I suppose we'd be gone like so many others you've seen go out of business.
Wishing all of you peace and wonderful happy sewing - quilting and embroidery moments~
