I paid an arm and a leg for mine ( the one that lives in England)in the early 90s....and hardly anything for the one I bought in France last year...and I enjoy using the cheap one more . I am now very tempted to have a go at those embroidery bits I have always ignored. Such hidden talent Gaynor...wonderful.

With the embroidery foot the 'feed dogs' are lowered so you have to move the fabric in all directions at a speed which coincides with the pedal speed, whilst keeping the fabric taut. The slightest hesitation leads to a bobble.<br />If you have a machine have a go,GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-13323334629087428802015-01-13T23:44:32.737+00:002015-01-13T23:44:32.737+00:00Hello Gaynor ..I think yours is brilliant ..not su...Hello Gaynor ..I think yours is brilliant ..not sure I could do that.
