Dear Lady Rags,
I have found my transparent sewing foot invaluable for precise piecing and turning corners etc....also my machine quilting transparent foot which ends up being a bit oval in shape.
cheers

Anna, if you like free motion work I would suggest Libby Lehman's free motion couching foot #43. She demos in in the video that is available until the end of this month (at minute 56).

You can also see it in the Bernina video: [url]learn/bernina/[/url]

http://www.bernina.com/en-US/Products-us/BERNINA-products-us/BERNINA-Accessories-us/Presser-feet-us/Free-motion-couching-foot-en

Of course, basic feet include the patchwork foot #37, an off-set free motion foot # 9, a walking foot #50, an open-toe applique foot # 20, Pintuck foot for mini piping #30,31 or 32, edgestitch #10 for stitching in the ditch. (The walking foot also now comes with a guide for stitching in the ditch.)

Hope that helps.


Where is the link for the Libby Lehman video... I have a full membership but I have not found it yet. I did not find it in the classroom list ......

found it... watched it.... then I realized I had a copy of this same DVD.... could I get any more absent minded.

Margo,

THANKS .... I am going through the BERNINA CLIPS to make a list but I am on INTERNET restrictions again so that is slow going. I put your suggestions on my list. BTW it was nice meeting you in Grand Rapids.... YOU were so busy.

I am going to take my machine in for a service / cleaning session. Because the store is over 70 miles I drop it off then pick it up the following week end. This means I will get two shots at buying notions and BERNINA feet that are useful to future quilting endeavors. I save up money all year for this trip. T.Q.S. over the years have recommended various feet and notions that is useful. I won't have time to review the DVDs.


What were the feet that T.Q.S recommended and did you like them and find them useful.

What feet / notions did you find most useful? WHAT did you use it for?

Any notions / feet you found useless. What was MUST HAVE.

I am planning for RETIREMENT when I will have less $$$ for discriminatory spending, so I am buying things now.... WHAT DO I HAVE TO HAVE FOR THE FUTURE. I would like to avoid buying something that will just sit in a drawer.... have to many of those notions.
