JoAnne, I bought mine at my dealer in December. I don't remember the exact cost but it was approximately $45 and I had a 25% coupon Bernina was offering at the time. So my final cost was around $34.00.

I test drove it on scraps, but havent tried it in an actual project yet. I think it will be fun to use.

Judy, I might just do that! I won't be going to the quilt show in Long Beach. I've gone twice and am not impressed. I don't think it's worth the entrance cost and the parking cost, not to mention the traffic. I'm going to call the store where I bought my machine and see if they have one in stock, then go get it. It sounds like the circle maker would be lots of fun.

JoAnne, I don't remember what I paid for my circular attachment. I bought it from my Bernina dealer in Torrance. The Bernina store that was at the Downey Seminar is in Long Beach--you could probably pick one up at the quilt show in July. Or drive on down here to Torrance and we'll do lunch!!! Judy

After I saw Libby show the circular attachment, I want one! I haven't been near a Bernina store since then. How much are they? I tried to get one at the Bernina booth at Road to CA but they didn't have any.

I LOVE that circular attachment!!! I keep my feet in the attachment box that came with my 435 and actually can attach to the machine back. I wish that box had room for the circular attachment, walking foot and BSR! I'll have to improvise like you guys have.

Same here with the binder foot!!! :shock: :shock: It's nice to finish off by hand.

Just don't buy that binding foot...it's two parts and WAY, WAY too expensive. :shock: Even my dealer balked at ordering it for me. I was so taken by Nina's video I thought it would be a perfect addition to my collection. I gave that one a miss but I do have the circular attachment. I am also a kitchen gadget junkie...

Oooo! Time to re watch Nina's videos and see what she does with feet then!!!

Thanks for your suggestions. I took a presser foot with me for sizing and went to Walmart and found a perfect plastic container with a lid and handle. It had 21 compartments and my presser foot fit perfectly inside. I had purchased a labeling machine after watching Libby's show. I have labeled everything in my sewing room which makes it so much easier to find things and also put them away. I now have a perfect place for my Bernina presser feet. However, I have three empty compartments and you know what that means! Connie in California

Kinda like shoes! I love taking a class where I can learn a technique that makes me buy the new foot. Collect 'em all, as they say on those commercials for kids. LOL Just got the circle attachment after seeing Libby Lehman demonstrate (also I'll be taking a 5 day class w/her at Asilomar), NEEDED the pintuck foot (or 2!) after watching Ricky demonstrate his cording technique. For me, it's just great fun. I'm here in "about to get our first real snowfall and it'll be a whopper" Michigan, hoping to escape tomorrow to Orlando (meeting, not Mickey).

hmmm....I guess I need to get busy and buy some feet! Tell me what some of your fav feet are that don't come standard with the machines? I have a couple extra..but not 30. I'm having feet envy here. :shock: Sandi in (it is not snowing here) FL

I found a 30 drawer plastic cabinet generally used for storing nails, screws & other small hardware items. Each drawer will comfortably hold 2 of the C & D type Bernina presser feet. It can be mounted very easily on the wall. Like my namesake, Libby, I labeled the front of each drawer. I have it mounted near my machine so that I can just swivel my chair and select the foot. I found that I forgot what presser feet I had when I stored them in the drawer.

I have seen some patterns (can't remember where) that you can make using fabric and clear vinyl to create pockets for all your feet. You can make something to mark each one so you know what it is. It was similar to a roll up jewelry case... so you can make it any size you wanted. I haven't done it yet, but I really need to find something to not only organize my feet, but to label them so I know what I have. And now I have two different brands of machines, so need to keep track of the feet for both of them. It was easier when both my machines were the same brand and used the same feet.
