![]() ![]() ![]() I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I should this weekend. I jumped on that foot like a starving dog on a ham bone! While talking about the kind of sewing I do, the lovely Swiss accented proprieter mentioned the new foot from Janome that allows you to attach yarn or cord in free motion. On Wednesday, I visited a wonderful sewing machine shop that carries Bernina, Janome and Elna machines in Roanoke VA called Alpine Sewing Machine Co. I posted about creating a free motion couching foot for my Janome also, since there was no foot like the Bernina's for my machine. I hope I can get the videos loaded and posted for you in the next couple of days!īack in July of 2011 I wrote several posts on free motion couching, inspired by Leslie at MarveLes Art Studio and the wonderful free motion couching foot she had for her Bernina. I would most definitely not choose the couching foot over the entire convertible FMQ foot set! If I had to choose between hacking the plastic foot of the convertible FMQ foot set or getting the FM couching foot I would hack the foot. Since it cannot handle small diameter yarns and I would love, love, love to FM couch Superior Thread's Razzle Dazzle, I may re-hack my hacked foot to use for finer yarns. The foot performed much better with the larger diameter yarn, though still not perfectly.īottom line? No, not the thread, rather the verdict of this review: The foot certainly has some serious design issues that could be improved upon, but it has earned a place in my tool kit of creativity (especially since it's an hour and a half drive to return the foot). You can see photos of the two stitchouts with the FM couching foot here. Then I switched back to the FM couching foot and used a heavier yarn, still with the smallest diameter holed foot. The Bottom Line disappeared quite nicely into the fluff of the yarn. I did not want to complicate this test drive (no matter how slightly) with using the monopoly. ![]() I used Superior Thread's Bottom Line thread, top and bottom in a cream color. I had to reset my machine to a straight stitch first I nearly forgot! And proceeded to couch this yarn much better, though still not perfectly.īefore I forget, Vivian, asked in the previous post what thread was I using. I then switched to the convertible FMQ foot set and couched this same yarn with my "hacked" FMQ couching foot. You can see there's quite a bit of room, both in the hole around the yarn and under the foot. So until I get the formatting issues resolved, this is the last picture I have for now. When you find one you like, look for the download link in the description.Shortly after I took the above picture, I started shooting video. ![]() You can preview many more previews on the Free HD Motion Backgrounds YouTube channel. Plus, it always seems like there are a number of included backgrounds that are super lame.įor those looking to save a few bucks or would like to simply increase their motion background library, here’s one place I found for free motion backgrounds. I’ve purchased motion backgrounds, before, and they’re defiantly not cheap. We recently covered three compelling reasons to use video countdowns before Church service and three quality sources to find free video countdowns. ![]()
