I tried using a walking foot and doing SID today for the first time. It went better than I expected. Far from perfect, but for me, pretty good. I need more visibility seeing the seamline but don't know where to get an open toe walking foot for my Singer Curvy. I had no luck searching online. Any ideas? TIA

I have never seem one, but I have seen this one, which is not completely open, but may be open enough to view better.

DB said that he would remove part of the front of my foot for me, to improve the visibility :wink:
The same with the plastic FMQ foot I have too... I just have to catch up with him LOL |
I know , why don't they ask quilters and sewers how to design these things :roll: More open on all the feet :thumbup:

I agree... it really helps when you can see what you are trying to do LOL

someone suggested using a bobbin for the top thread as well as the bottom. This would give you a better idea when the thread is all used up.

Open toed walking foot is amazing. I think every quilter should own one!
|
Does your machine have an SID foot available? I have one that looks like a tiny plough. Instead of ploughing the field, it runs down the ditch.

I never heard that hint about using a bobbin for the upper thread. That is so clever! It would definitely help. I guess that the thread would still feed ok. If anyone has tried this, please let us know!
