My adopted Quilting Mommy, lol, explained about that foot, so it sounds like I need to find out how to order one for my machine, since Walmart probably doesnt have them..
thanks.

My first long piece of practice was the size of a twin bed and I did not want to throw it away so I put a binding around it, four pieces of elastic to the four corners and use it under my sheets on the twin bed. The second practice piece was the size of a lap or throw and granddaughters also practiced on it by signing their names in stitches. It is now a prized throw that they fight over when they spend the night. Now when I practice complicated stitches, I cut out a 12" sectionand plan to put them together for a quilt called "Practice makes perfect". Never waste around here.

( :oops: blushing cuz I really feel dumb in asking.. But I am not like Dumb, and Dumber ( think Jim Carey ), I am more " I love it when a plan comes together" because I am forever and a day, figuring out I can do whatever I set my mind on.. hope someone can answer the question, lol.
