Testing -

A new Free-Motion Quilting foot - a Janome Convertible FMQ foot -

It has a closed toe - and an adjustable height screw on the top - which is why I bought it. I thought that it would be easier to adjust than the elastic hair band that I have been using - so I set myself up to play with it - ;))

My White (brand name) sewing machine has three needle positions -
Left - center - and right -

But I couldn't get the needle centered in the hole -

If I use the "center" needle position - it's too far to the left -

And if I use the "right" needle position - it's too far to the right -

So I went back to my open-toe generic foot - with its elastic hair band -

And tried the new foot on my Husqvarna Lily 555 -

Which has numerous needle positions -

Found the one that would center the needle in the hole -

And tried it out -

So-so stitching on the front -

But definite tension issues on the back - LOL -

After futzing with various tension settings for a while -

I finally gave up -

And re-installed the walking foot -

Re-set all of the settings back to where they were originally -

And played with the blocks on the wall - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
