i can say that i am actually getting those moments where that logic falls

... i have even been looking for a walking foot but have failed to look
in the right store so far. i am sure it does not help that i am using a
very very cheap machine until the husky i inherited can be put in the shop
for repair (which DH says will be soon).
i am reading books and looking at pictures and reading online and the best
info has been what i have read here and in R.C.T.N. and R.C.T.Q.
