I've had a little used Singer machine for over 20 years. It's still in the closet. Maybe I need to find it a good home as my house isn't a crafty house (for me).

I like doing stipple quilting (if you haven't done it, it's the equivalent of doodling on fabric), and while I've never used a walking foot, I think it might not work as well for stipple. However, I really should get a walker for stright line quilting as I'm terrible at it with the darning foot...Jenn (dish)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10703790500149608862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981693571388993900.post-27018974258777590812009-01-08T14:19:00.000-05:002009-01-08T14:19:00.000-05:00I'm excited about WoodCraft!

I've been so lax about sewing and knitting, except for the many little aprons I sewed for nieces and such this Christmas. You're inspiring me to get out the machine again.

A lot of newer machines (unless they're high-end) have plastic interior parts that just wear out.
