Several years ago, more than 10, I bought a basic mechanical Brother sewing machine at Walmart. That little workhorse not only came with a quilting stand but several (don't recall exactly how many) feet, including the very useful open toe foot. Also came with a free motion quilting foot and 1/4" foot. I think it cost about $80. I still have it. Still use it and by way of the modest little machine, learned about this foot and how to use it. Brother rocks!

Never thought to do this - just stayed frustrated. Thanks so much for posting about the open toe foot!

This is the same kind of applique foot that I purchased for my Janome and it makes it so much easier to applique.

Hear, hear!!!!

Yes, I saw that same show. I plan on trying that procedure myself.
