Hated it, it seemed too modern and flimsy, and you don't get a clear view of the needle because of all the plastic casing in the way. Perhaps I should find a new home for it.<br /><br />I think the best approach for a beginner is to do a chequerboard top and do diagonal quilting, as on these two mini quilts:-<br /><br />http://lizzielenard-vintagesewing.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/doll-quilt-100th-birthday-quilt.html<br /><br />http://lizzielenard-vintagesewing.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/doll-quilt-lilys-choice.html<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Love, MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-44861976171922134622014-06-11T03:55:25.712+01:002014-06-11T03:55:25.712+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-61699132864435055012012-10-24T18:12:47.763+01:002012-10-24T18:12:47.763+01:00Both of my singers came with this foot, and also m...Both of my singers came with this foot, and also my modern one.
