This is even better. "Purchase in Store Only" but I plan to head to our local one.

I looked at that site, but the tips don't look as needle fine as Sharon's did. I'd hate to buy it and find out (when I used it) that it wasn't what I needed.

I'm going to the store today. If it meets my expectations I'll let you know.

But that doesn't work if you're using a 1/4 foot with the little ridge on the side. I was told that by my LQS owner too. I always use a 1/4" foot with the little flange on it to keep the fabric in line. Darn.

Got it. I'll be able to use it for other crafts, but it's plastic and the smallest nozzle is by no means needle fine. The trip wasn't wasted, though. I got clamps to hold my rotary cutting rulers down and then had my Birthday Burger at Red Robin.

That's a great tip! But it's a lot easier said than done.

After you pre-wash your fabric, hang it up, spray it with starch as heavily as you want, then let it hang dry. When you iron it you don't get the flaking and it irons beautifully!
