Maybe I just need to keep it and learn how to use it. Sounds like Fons and Porter can teach me how. Thanks gals!

Janome has one of those. I bought one. It's really cool. I saw it demonstrated. It, as stated above, allows you to do a decorative stitch in the round.

I'm just wondering where I have been that I haven't ever seen this thing before. Goes to show how some things have been around for awhile. this lady is 91 years old that gave it to me.

I just got one of these yesterday, new in package, although looks like it has been lying around a good long time. Has anyone figured out how to use it?

If you want to sew circles - tape a very fine thumbtack to the machine, stabilize fabric and rotate fabric around tack.
Fits any machine. Pfaff has one that has an eraser on the end to hold the fabric.
