Date: 10/8/12 3:27 PM Here's an interesting tidbit I picked up from my Sewing Daily Newsletter: "And here is a little known—but my new favorite—use for the walking foot: topstitching on knits. You no longer have to watch the knits creep and bunch as you topstitch seams, finish neck edges, or stitch up the hems. I learned this trick from Linda Lee of The Sewing Workshop and now can’t imagine working with knits without my walking foot." written by Rose Deboer. The full article is here. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

My Elna 5100 does a great job without it on MOST knits...but I will attach it if the knit is tricky to sew with the reg foot. ------ my blog: http://kf-biblioblog.blogspot.com/ Sewing through my pattern stash-125 completed.
