You would think that being so high end, they would do laundry and make coffee.

well, as a dreamweaver, maybe it massages and includes a nightlight?

I got the open toe foot, advertised to fit my machine, a high shank machine, and it does NOT fit, ACK! See? The little metal arm is too low, won't go over the needle holder screw.

 

[DuckLady]

Will it go in the notch next to the screw? Or try putting the bar over the screw first?
(I know you probably already did, but that's how I have to put mine on)

No, it won't fit over or under, either one and allow the screw to go into the slot, too. And since I was afraid to bend it, not knowing how strong the metal might be, possibly breaking it, I am sending it back. Too bad, it as a decent price, $11. The quilt shop in Blairsville sells Brother machines, the fancy ones, of course, but she didn't have a high shank one in the shop. I may go back and see if she can order me one for mine that I know will fit....or can just take back if it doesn't, no mailing back and forth required.

Well that's just poopy. I'm sorry.

Wouldn't that be awesome!

OK..... I did something wrong.......my measurements were off.

My backing is a couple inches to narrow!

Here is the top.

Is it crazy to split the back down the middle and add in my extras that match the front?
I know this will make centering a pita.

You can add to the backing, I often piece mine with leftovers from the top of the quilt. Sometimes I make big blocks for the back from leftover fabric.

 

[21hens-incharge]

I went ahead an added it in down the center. I now have 5+" overhang all the way round.

Depending on all the chores tomorrow I may get it basted.

I need to pick up more basting pins....
