Elizabeth and Henry started off on the wrong foot today.
Henry later apologized and professed his love for Elizabeth.
They do make a nice couple.

A Closer Look… On the Wrong Foot

10 years agoThe one thing I have is a chenille stitch foot. I have never made actual chenille with it. Do you use a special fabric? Or bias cut? And when you brush it to fluff it, how do you keep it from scratching the fabric you are attaching it to?

10 years agoI would like to use the Bernina narrow hemming foot. Tried it on sheer skirt & ended up taking it to alteration person as I just couldn’t get it to work??

10 years agoI’ve never been able to get my Ruffler (Bernina foot no. 86)to work properly.

10 years agoWhen I was doing ruffling for a set of curtains, the ruffle was a double layer of fabric, I fought with it for awhile then realized the machine was ruffling only the top layer causing everything to bunch up and not work properly. I found that the ruffling foot worked better if I baste stitched the two layers together then ruffled them, worked like a charm.

10 years agoI have all the feet for the new Babylock Ovation, so far I have only used the standard foot, the binder fott and the belt loop foot (that was fun!). I still need to learn about all the others, especially the blind hem foot and the elastic foot. So excited to try these all out!
Barbara KRatz
10 years agoI have an elastic foot I wish I new how to use.
Kristi D.
10 years agoI have a funny looking foot for my BabyLock Ellisimo that I have no clue what it is for. That is what I would like to learn how to use. Plus all the cool stuff that I don’t even have a clue about.
Cathy
10 years agoWould like to know how to use the blind hem foot. Would be great to be able to hem on the machine. Thanks for all your useful information.
Patty
10 years ago#69.. The roll hem foot. I bought it thinking I could put a narrow hem on a sheer fabric but it got the best of me!
Cindy Carson
10 years agoI have the Babylock Ellisimo too. I love the 1/4″ edge for piecing quilts, but would like to learn how to put pipping on well with the correct foot.
Terry P
10 years agoThe binding foot. Too afraid.
Cindy Carson
10 years agoPiping! I mean piping, not pipping!
Barb Miller
10 years agoI would like to make curtains for my granddaughters room. Or a wall hanging for my laundry room.
Patty
10 years agoI have many problems with the ruffling foot. I can’t belive how hard it is to work with! Is there an easier way to do this?
Nancy Drake
10 years agoI would like to learn to use the binding foot on my serger so I can do Little Dresses for Africa faster.
Jane Jarvis
10 years agoThat’s the best reason for using that foot
carolyn goodworth
10 years agoI have a new Ovation Serger and I don’t know how to use the blind hem foot. There are several others that are a little scary-looking!
Colleen Bunner
10 years agoBinding foot
Barbara Ann
10 years agoI would like to know how to use the ruffler foot for my Singer 221K Featherweight and ruffler foot for my Babylock serger. And if there’s a foot to make pleats, that too! (Or is that the ruffler foot?)
Barb Grant
10 years agoFunny you mention the Bernina sideways foot. Just today I was thinking I would ask my dealer to demonstrate how it’s used and what it’s for.
Colleen Bell
10 years agoI so much agree with Kristi D. I have an Ellisimo Gold with a funny foot and don’t have a clue how it is used. I just love embroidering so much, that I just don’t sew or investigate what is in my tool box as much as I should.
Oh, I do love these “Closer Looks.” I even take the time to show them to my geeky adult sons when they come over. They are all impressed with the technology.
Pam
10 years agoThe roll hem foot when hemming a dress.
Gail Beam
10 years agoI would like to learn how to use the bias binder foot, the blind hem foot, the elastic foot, and the ruffler foot. I am a foot junkie and have a lot of feet lol that I have never used. I love the walking foot, the piping foot, the roller foot, and the sequin foot.
Carolyn H
10 years agoWould like to know how Foot 2A works. Also the ruffler. I have to do lots of samples before I can get what I want.
Cindy
10 years agoI have the Baby Lock Ellisimo II and it came with two walking feet. How do you know which one to use. I can’t find where it says to use different ones.
Amy Anson
10 years agoIn principle, I know how the rolled hem foot works but in reality, I can’t seem to get the hang of it in order to achieve a beautiful finished edge. I would sew appreciate any helpful hints.
Beth R
10 years agoThe flat felled foot – want to do the ‘jeans’ seams, but for some reason just haven’t mastered the foot.
Donna G.
10 years agoThe Ruffler! It’s an intimidating foot!
Sharon B
10 years agoThe gathering foot. I can imagine all kinds of creative things but I would like some creative ideas.
Mary Haggenmaker
10 years agoBeen around a Looonnngg time. Pretty much have learned to use all my feet. Practice makes …maybe not perfect there is always more that can be learned.
Kristal
10 years agoThe blind hem foot is something I would like to learn…eventually.
Seems daunting right now.
Madeline Lester
10 years agoI would love to know how to judge the amount of fabric needed to use the ruffling foot. I don’t get how the ruffled or pleating works. How much fabric makes how much ruffle or pleating? It’s very confusing to use.
Madeline
Lynn
10 years agoI have yet to master the rolled hem foot!
Shirl R
10 years agoI would like some hints on using the rolled hem foot effectively.
Julie
10 years agoI bought a commercial blindstitch hemmer online and have never dared to use it….that curved needle is too daunting!
Dale Fedor
10 years agoI can’t figure out how to put the fabric where on my ruffler foot.
karen
10 years agoI would like to learn how to get better results with the rolled hem foot.
susan james
10 years agothe narrow hemming foot. just cannot get the hang of it.
Pamela Pope
10 years agoI for sure would love to see a good video or tutorial about the 40C foot. I had it with my previous machine and a lot of templates came with it but nobody could really help me to figure it out. My attempts were not very nice looking!
Kim
10 years agothe rolled hem foot
Linda Lee
10 years agoI have trouble with the rolled hem foot on my Janome 15000 and want to better know how to use it properly and I really want to learn how to use the flower foot on my Singer One Plus. Oh – I also want to learn how to properly use a walking foot…Yikes – I think I need a foot course!
Annette Danos
10 years agoI would love to learn how to use the ruffler attachment. I sew a lot of shorts with a ruffle on the hem. This would make it so much simpler. I have bought a ruffler but can’t seem to keep a straight seam, either top or bottom is always off. This attachment is getting the better of me. There is no instructions on how to use it when you buy the attachment.
Dianna B
10 years agoI would love a video on how to work the Bernina darning and free
motion embroidery foot #9/24. It seems so easy and then when I
try…..not so much!
Shelor
10 years agoI have the very expensive binding attachment for my Bernina, but I do not know how to use it properly. Wish I did. Of course, I really ought to spend some time practicing! 🙂
Angie Valentine
10 years agoI would love to know how to use my elastic foot for my Juki serger
Donna Fecteau
10 years agoI would like to use my free motion foot. Have been afraid to try it.
maria elena blecha
10 years agoThe roll hem foot, I start out o.k. then it starts to “chew” the fabric!! It would be sew neat to make hems on the sheer fabric with this foot!!!
Brenda Melahn
10 years agoMy biggest mystery is my ruffler foot — used it once … couldn’t now if my life depended on it.
Rrrose
10 years agoMy bias tape foot has me in a dither! Complicated. Frustrating. Don’t get me started.
Sharon
10 years agoI bought a set of 30 feet from Amazon two months ago and would love to learn how to use all of them skillfully, but the two that have me most intrigued are the Ruffler and the Binding feet. I have watched YouTube videos for both, but can’t quite bring myself to try anything yet.
Frances Powell
10 years agoI have trouble with the hemmer foot. When I try to practice, the fabric will roll under right for a short time and then it flattens out. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I know if I could use it properly, then I could save a lot of time. Thanks.
Barbara McKenzie
10 years agoI have given up on the rolled hem foot – I think you must need to have the “perfect” fabric to make it work. Either that, or I’m just too impatient….
Joan Luiz
10 years agoThere is a little book by Christine Phillips – “The Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook” – that has good instructions for the ruffler attachment. Clear pictures for each fabric path and how to adjust the ruffler. Lots of history of sewing machines and how to use those odd looking feet. This is where I learned how to use my ruffler. It does take practice to be able to control the fabric feeding into the ruffler.
AudieSue
10 years agoI have a BabyLoc Imagine serger with all the feet but I am too intimidated to try them out. I would like to learn about all the feet but would settle for the elastic foot and the blind hem foot.
Dianna
10 years agoI would like to know how to use the Bernina 830 binding foot, the ruffle, and the hemming feet. I want to make some gifts with those feet but don’t know how to use them.
Kathy
10 years agoI bought the circular foot and would like to learn how to use it.
Karen
10 years agoThe elastic foot. I use the rolled hem foot all the time you need the right tension on the fabric. I have also found I do not sit right in front of the machine with that foot.
Alice Cornelson
10 years agoI’d like to learn more about the sideways walking foot,however, the one that stumps me the most is the run/fell foot, Bernina #71. If I could master that bad boy, then I could rip up the legs of my jeans and embroider some neat stuff up the leg. Thanks, Alice
JudiC
10 years agoI have a Bernina Binder foot that I keep trying & it never works for me BUT I am even more curious about how to use a “Flower Stitch” foot that I have had for several years. It is a very big & strange looking foot.
Krishna
10 years agoHello. Great job. I did not imagine this. This is a remarkable story. Thanks!

LeAnne L
10 years agoI have a binding foot I can’t figure out how to use.
Barbara
10 years agoGee, I wish I knew where to start! Between my sewing machine and serger, there are so many adventures afoot that I can’t begin to choose! How about the ones that came with the last update?
Mary Frances Horton
10 years agoThe Bernina website has videos on so many different feet. Also check Bernina Feet on You Tube.
beth daniels
10 years agoI have two Janome feet that I need to know how to use. One is a 1/4″ foot to use with my quilting and I still have not learned to use it, but I will someday.
Eileen Ryan
10 years agoMy walking foot sits in it’s box. I would love to know when I should use it.
Beverly Jefferies Vance
10 years agoThe ruffler foot!
Dawn Duke
10 years agoThe book by Barbara Goldkorn “Cutting Edge Serger Techniques” looks interesting, so I put in an order on DIME. Please cancel it, as I refuse to nearly double the price with the shipping. I will look for it, when and if it shows up in book stores in Canada. We do have access to Designs Magazine, so I figure the book will show up too. Thanks Dawn
Susan
10 years agoThe Bernina Spanish Hem foot
Connie Walsh
10 years agoI would like to master the trick to using the belt loop binder on my babylock evolution. I watched a babylock representative use one at a sewing event a few years ago and it looked so easy but after I purchased it and tried it at home, I just couldn’t get it to do a good job.
Irma
10 years agoI would like to know how to use my Side cutter ‘S’foot on my new Brother 1250 D

10 years agoValuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I’m shocked why this accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
