I have a confession...
Okay, so I said in an early post that I'm going to post everything...the good and the 'bad'. Well...I have a little confession to make. I'm more than just a little embarrassed to admit that I don't have the correct presser feet for quilting...no darning...and no walking foot. There! I've said it! I've done all of this reading, learning, preparing, dreaming about quilting...and I'm at a dead stop because I don't have the right FEET!!! (Admittedly I feel a bit like a fake). Geesh! Kind of harsh huh...
Really it's just a beginner's error, at first I didn't even realize I NEEDED something other than what I have. Once I did, I tried borrowing my mom's walking foot, I -got my little I-Spy quilt top done...sandwiched and everything and only to find out that her foot didn't fit my machine! Of COURSE it doesn't!!! That would have been WAY too easy. I mean...doesn't it look like it would fit a machine made this decade??? (Okay...so I had a feeling this ancient thing wasn't going to fit...wishful thinking...) :)
So now I'm stuck. I'm going to call a Sewing machine shop today and see if they have them, but I'm a little nervous at how much they're going to charge...considering I just spent my monthly crafts ration on fabric. ...(still ABSOLUTELY worth it by the way) :)
And now...On to the good stuff!!! I finished the top to my I-Spy quilt!!! :) YAY!! I really like how it turned out. I just hope it's not too small. But really, it's okay if this one is, because there will hopefully be plenty more to come. :)

Hmmm.........not sure how to take the comment about the age of the walking foot. Guess, it might give everyone an idea of just how long---HER MOTHER--has been doing this kind of stuff....LOL
