A couple of links to blogs that has use this foot. Might be something helpful on one of them

Thank you for the links...I noticed that their flowers really do not look much different than mine...

I can see I have some more PLAYING around to do for sure! I will post more pix what I am doing soon!

I think it's actually a different attachment that makes the spirograph type flowers. It's been awhile, and can't remember the name. Will link it if I can find it.

Edit: Maybe not. I did find this Bernina circular attachment which can be used to make spirograph type designs.

You use a loopy straight stitch to get a loopy round. You know, like a scallop stitch.

I think I read a used fabric softener sheet can be used as stabilizer.

Sorry. I'm no help. I've never even seen one.

If you have one of these and can make FLOWERS with it, please, please, please tell me what I am doing wrong!

In my pix are the samples I did the other night.
The fabric is layered with batting..I did NOT like just a double layer of fabric..it preferred the batting sandwich! That pink thread is a vintage varigated DMC embroidery thread that is 50wt. As you can see on the Ultrasuede, the pink sunk in and sort got lost. I had to use a heavier weight thread on the ultrasuede, but it did fine with NO stabilizer...

JUST no flowers...cute circular designs, but I want the big spirograph flowers they say you can make with this thing!

I think that maybe I have the same "flower" attachment. I can't make anything bigger than 1 3/4 " with it. It was a great disapointment! Also, the fabric has to twirl around & that won't work too well using it to quilt on a quilt............ a waste of $$ :thumbdown:

I got mine to use for decorative stitches on pockets, etc for bags I make, or mug rugs..it will work fine for that...I don't think even the circular attachment would work on quilting...
