Saturday Series - Rolled Hem Foot & Vinyl
We’re back and only have a few weeks left of the series. The last few weeks we’re going for the “not so scary” feet for the machines…. Rolled Hem Foot I just got this the other week.

Saturday Series: Automatic Button Hole (oh, yeah!)

A lot of the {Read More}

Chances are there are little to no difference between them! This is one amazing foot! The Viking Adjustable Bias Tape foot.
