Tellabella - where did you find that foot - does it have a number on it? I have the same machine and would like to get one. Thanks!

You would be very surprised how many quilters here do stitch in the ditch by hand - because they WANT to hide the quilting! Another reason seems to be that they are afraid the quilting lines will destroy the effect and look of the piecing. I don't know who ever told them such a thing.

I DO, and enjoy it.
