When I have been doing applique, I've always used the foot that is suggested in my manual.[ATTACH=CONFIG]483373[/ATTACH]As you can see, there's a plastic piece on the front that, in theory, lets you see what you are doing. However, I've always found that the plastic visually distorts what I'm working on. So, I went to my sewing center and looked around for a different foot. This is the one I came up with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]483374[/ATTACH]It's called an open toe embroidery foot. I used it this morning for applique and I am beyond thrilled!! It enables me to have a complete visual of where the needle is going in and how to line it up against the piece of applique.
Just had to share!

I have modified a lot of my feet to suit me.
I'm getting a lot of PMs from posters asking if I'm afraid of ruining the feet by modifying them and I shouldn't post doing it as others may ruin theirs. First answer: If I ruin a foot I'll buy another one. In fact I have ruined four free motion feet before I got it the way I wanted.
Second answer: if someone ruins their foot they can buy another or if they can't, don't modify it in the first place.
