I found it on eBay and really love it. It is exactly the same size as the original featherweight straight stitch foot except the toe on the right side extends slightly and has the guide attached to it. For me it works because I only sew a quilt on the machine I started it with. I do use your method when I teach classes so the students don't go home and finish on a different machine and wind up with issues. I love reading your blogs and learning new stuff from the pro.

I wish I was more knowledgeable about machines - I found several in an antique shop last weekend and thought of you. Posted one on IG, but I don't have a clue what it was. But, they are fun to look at!

I have a lot of projects going on right now, so I am not starting that one, but may change my mind when I see more of it. Have a great class.<br />Natalie in Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074104251813496164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-43781632001272478562016-02-04T07:05:57.369-05:002016-02-04T07:05:57.369-05:00turquoise, black or fire engine red...they all sew...turquoise, black or fire engine red...they all sew the same in the dark...LOLcityquilter gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769584628450845408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19766307859847399092016-02-04T05:21:27.574-05:002016-02-04T05:21:27.574-05:00Thank you.

I also point out that you travel and use different machines while adjusting your seam allowances. Yeah Bonny!

I don't really like using it for all the reasons you listed BUT it has a small hole and keeps the fabric from being sucked down with the needle. I think I'm going to switch over to the Featherweight full time for a while. I know you must sometimes feel like you are repeating yourself, but please know you are teaching us something new all the time. Very much appreciated. <br />Linda Marglon, California<br /> jmarglon@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1551348687507359672016-02-03T22:33:09.632-05:002016-02-03T22:33:09.632-05:00Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been told ...Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been told this by several high profile teachers & knew it myself from getting blocks sewn by others. I was trying to teach my cousin about checking the 1/4" seam when the "head" quilter in our church group said for her to ignore me. I was wrong. I guess she has never sewn on as many machines as I have or you. But now I am vindicated! No, I won't tell her but I am reassured when teaching my nieces I'm not quite crazy yet. I check my seams everytime. Habits die hard. <br /><br />You forgot the cold weather here when you packed for Alabama! Hope you enjoy Gulf Shores. It's a favorite place of mine.
