My girlfriend kept complaining that she hated her foot. Could not figure out why. She was also trying to use it sewing across the fabric, like when you make HST. If the foot has a guide, it is normally positioned so low that it won't let the fabric slip under it so it guides your seam line. Normally only used when it can be positioned against the raw edge of the fabric. If I don't have an Accucut die the right size for a HST, I mark my sewing line and use a regular foot.
