Sewing machines

Beth, for most machines, the 1/4" foot is purchased separately. I don't know how I would ever get along without mine. When you first try FMQ'g do something simple that makes use of "muscle memory". such as writing your name. Then move onto something foolproof such as lots of little circles, sometimes called "cobblestones". Spirals and squares can help too. Unfortunately, the only real way to learn is "practise, practise, practise'.
