It's a Montgomery Ward machine from an old family friend... not a brand name, but it's a sturdy, nice machine! I don't know the model # etc... But since Montgomery Ward is obviously not around anymore, I can't go back there and see what parts they have. I just wondered if I would be able to find feet at a LQS or whatever. |
Painters tape works well also

You should be able to find the model number on that machine around the wheel end of it, but you need to know Long Shank, slant shank, or short shank. The older models of the Montgomery Ward machines were very good metal made machines and hold up really well. If you need help in determining the shank, Clotilde's has a guide for determining the type you need. (You can google them and find it online.) I got a 1/4 in foot with my new Elna in April, but I know our LQS orders them to fit all machines.
Make sure you are holding that ruler down tight when cutting, that can make a big difference in your blocks as well. Have fun with it. |
I'm with u on this one
|
Not having all your blocks the same size will throw the quilt off.
|
I can't sew a 1/4" seam straight to save my life, I have to use the 1/4" foot guide also.
|
This may sound dumb, but how do you square the blocks to be the same?
|
that is not a dumb question it's a necessary question that I can't explain but someone here will be able to without confusing you like I would do.
