sewpowerfull Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm new....and I'm in the process of trying all of the attatchments and gagets I got with my machine. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to attach the white plastic cap thingy that goes on the hopper foot so that you can use the pexiglass stencils. I know it's probably something soooo simply. thanks Sheena:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi Shenna Just slip it under your hopping foot and it will snap on . Bring your flywheel down manually by turning it on. Put your base on and quilt away. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewpowerfull Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thank you Myrna: I thought it should just snap on also......I had to remove the throat plate to be able to clear under the hopper foot to snap it on. Sheena:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Really! I have not heard of anyone having had to do that. BUT i don't have one so I ma be mistaken. Is your hopping foot to low with it on. Can you slip a couple of business cards under it? Either way glad you got it one and can now do ruler work:D Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sorry to be dim, but what is this thing you are talking about? What does it do to help you? Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtraquilts Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I just got my machine last month and I didn't get any attachments...what am I missing? It sounds like a great idea... Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewpowerfull Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yes there is clearance with the plastic attatchment on and I do need to slide the throat plate to put it on. It snaps on fairly easy but I really need to yank it to remove it. My Millie is about 5 years old.....I bought it preowned with attatchments, manuals, gadgets etc. (Not all have my gadgets have instructions). Taking off to the lake with my kids for a few days...getting very hot here for the next few days. :cool:Sheena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 xtraquilts and ferret, on the older machines, the foot was different so you needed an attachment to put on the hopper foot in order to use rulers. On the new millies it is not a necessary item. Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaFritchen Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Please: when did the hopping foot change so the attachment is not needed...mine is Nov. 2003. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
