You make me want to construct one for myself. =)<br /><br />I'm so glad you can see your improvement and growth! I doubt you could ever whip together a corset in only 4 hours (too many pieces & stitchlines!), but 8 hours is really great time!<br /><br />I still need to get a walking foot for my machine. They are wonderful things! I know someone who has a portable walking foot machine - it's like a tiny industrial and so cool! My most recent foot purchase was the Teflon foot for pleather and stuff. It works in place of a walking foot to some degree, but I still plan to get one eventually. <br /><br />~ BrookeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-88038266975654773612013-02-04T21:49:45.635-08:002013-02-04T21:49:45.635-08:00Oh wow.
