My find for the day!
When I have been doing applique, I've always used the foot that is suggested in my manual.[ATTACH=CONFIG]483373[/ATTACH]As you can see, there's a plastic piece on the front that, in theory, lets you see what you are doing. However, I've always found that the plastic visually distorts what I'm working on. So, I went to my sewing center and looked around for a different foot. This is the one I came up with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]483374[/ATTACH]It's called an open toe embroidery foot. I used it this morning for applique and I am beyond thrilled!! It enables me to have a complete visual of where the needle is going in and how to line it up against the piece of applique.
Just had to share!

I saw Patric Lose take needle nose pliers and remove that piece because he didn't like it either, he said you can put it back in but he doesn't know why you would.

I was just thinking the same thing as I read this post. I don't know what brand of DSM they are currently using on the F&P quilting show on PBS.
