so what foot Do I use for FMQ on Molly
Thanks again, everyone, for all the help trying to find out how to use a Big Foot to a FW 221. Apparently I can't. So how do I FMQ ? What foot do I use? TIA

Thanks so much. I get emails from that company (yours?) and wondered if that was the foot I needed. I will order it ASAP! May also order screw.

The second and third links (Jenny) I have ordered from her, as have many on this board. I have read about people contacting her if they are not sure exactly what they need. Another link for low shank feet is http://shop.sew-classic.com/Low-Shank-Feet_c5.htm
Good luck on getting the right foot to FMQ with Molly. I'm sorry. I haven't actually FMQ'd so can't really help. I just know I have seen (and have) several darning/free motion feet. Actually, I used a vintage darning spring on a 301 (since it goes over the needle and not attached to needle bar) and did darn a sock. I was very favorably impressed with how well it worked. I'm sure Free Motion would be different than darning as it is layers and not in a hoop.

Somewhere-a long time ago-I read that FW's weren't for free motion quilting, but for piecing. I never kept the article because I only piece on my FW and do quilting on bigger stronger machines or my LA. I hope your machine holds up.

J & J, Thanks for those links. I don't intend to quilt on my FW but think I would like to have a foot for that just in case I go to a workshop or elsewhere traveling with my FW and want to do a bit of quilting. It would be nice to have that foot on hand then.
