Thank you for all the suggestions. I'm not home but when I get there Im gonna figure it out. One of these things has got to work.

you are very welcome!

also why don't you post a new thread for the name and model of your machine to see who else has them , goodluck

.

According to the manual for the LS30, it has a darning plate to cover the feed dogs when FMQ'ing or darning. http://www.brother-usa.com/ModelDocu...30_EN_1097.PDF

You will use your walking foot with feed dogs uncovered (normal) when stitching straight lines--in the ditch, diagonals, diamond/crosshatching, or sewing on binding. You''ll put the darning plate & darning foot on when doing swirls or loops--like drawing on your quilt using the sewing machine as a pencil.

Rotflmao!!!!!!

Marsye, you're a HOOT!!! Where do you come up with this stuff?

Thank you everyone. I don't know how I ever made a quilt before you all came into my life. You all don't know how much I appreciate you.

I really honestly for the life of me don't know how on this earth you got along without me all these years. :lol:

I dunno :lol:

Everyone stand up and do the happy dance with me. YAY!!!! Ok now I will tell you why. I found my instruction book!!!!!!!! Dummy me I put it away with my other machine ( which I had no trouble finding the book for). So I sat down and cleaned an oiled it. Oh it sound so nice now. But it doesn't say anything about how to drop the feed dog. Oh well guess I will just cover them. And for those of you that read my dream thread, the book also tells me how to do embriordery (sp?) on it too. What a morning I am having.
