I think it's the feed dogs in older machines, you really have to struggle to keep your fabric feeding in a straight line. Because of the box feed on my Juki (and I think the Janome or Bernina might have it too), it pulls the fabric straight as an arrow, it took me awhile to actually stop guiding the fabric. (No, I don't work for Juki.)BendingPins.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361124377130933545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253457092485175265.post-15290759404638505092011-10-24T03:43:07.387-04:002011-10-24T03:43:07.387-04:00Such beautiful work, I would love to try the FWQA ...Such beautiful work, I would love to try the FWQA but I fear I am not ready for this yet, I might just try though, deffinately maybe! :)Hoola Tallulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329088395765574328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253457092485175265.post-2796287140973753512011-10-23T22:16:29.530-04:002011-10-23T22:16:29.530-04:00Thanks for the kind words, Sheila -- and thank you...Thanks for the kind words, Sheila -- and thank you, Liz, for the GREAT TIP!!
