JessieCrawford OFFLINE Posts: 19 Thank you received: 36	I have found the edge stitch foot to be absolutely fabulous. Much easier to get accurate seams. Thank you to the person who suggested trying this foot. I have got 4 houses made but can't add the background fabric as I am still waiting for it to arrive, probable end of month.

Today I tried the Edgestitch foot, #10 on Bernina. That is pretty cool. You keep your eye on the guide in front, the needle goes right beside the paper. Single hole throat plate, no need to move the needle position from center.

Of course, I learn this tip after my entire quilt is done. If you have an Edgestitch foot, and most machines have one available, give it a try to see if you like it.

Thanks for the tip-- I think it came from Marti.

UPDATE--it was Cindy who suggested the foot she called the Stitch in the Ditch foot. Officially called Edgestitch foot, and is often used for topstitching where you would move the needle position a couple clicks.

DebDav OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 8	I plan to use the same pattern and the template for the background to complete each one. If it doesn't work, then these are my practice houses.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	DebDav, it looks like you removed the pattern. How are you going to add the background in the correct size?
