Do you still love it, or would you recommend looking at the Janome one (or any other one)?

I tend to leave the garment fabric alone, being scared of a ripply neckline. I will have to try your trick next time.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-72305471063268390622011-05-27T09:26:04.400-04:002011-05-27T09:26:04.400-04:00It's good to be back to blogging.

It wasn't something that occured to me to check, even though I knew I would want to use a generic binder since the brand-name attachments for this paricular model run about $145 each. (I mean, really?) I have several generics but I have as yet to rig up some sort of a block system so that I can line them up with the front of my machine. I'm totally inspired to do that, though, seeing how excited you are with yours.<br /><br />Although, it IS a binder foot (or a relative of one) and I pretty sure I still firmly believe that binder feet are EVIL. So we'll see how that goes. I'll let you know.

Silly really, I just have to go sit for it some time and figure out how to work it. But somehow it keeps collecting dust in a drawer right now.
