Renren said... Nice--that fabric drapes beautfiully and without the "stop" of a hem, it flows like a waterfall from top to bottom. What would this stitch-in-the-ditch foot be? It has to have a wide enough opening to accommodate a double needle . . . hmm, blindhem foot? hmm . . . 12/3/11 10:41 AM

The guide is adjustable and I use this foot a lot for topstitching or edge stitching. Maybe it's original purpose was for something different, but it works for me. 12/3/11 1:51 PM
Renren said... Thanks, rivergum. I'll take a look at the feet available for my sm and see if I can find something that fits that description! 12/3/11 3:12 PM
FreyaStark said... Fabulous! Wearing an underlayer is stylish as well as being a good idea because that neckline really does look wide. 12/4/11 4:45 AM
