FMQ/Darning foot?
#23
I use the darning foot that came with my Pfaff. It is open toe and I love it! I can see what I'm doing, although what I'm doing isn't always perfect. I'm still in the learning mode for FM, but it is so much fun.

You are so right! Elmhurst is a beautiful place to live. I used to live there and then in Schaumburg.

I have a few - metal and plastic in different sizes. One of the metal ones seems to have a burr on it as it cuts the cotton every now and then, so it is discarded. The two square plastic ones are large and small and good, but slow. The best is a round metal one with a plastic insert that has a single hole in the middle of the plastic. It runs smoothly, doesn't pull up the material and the stitches can be seen through the plastic. It is made by Brother.
