Grammie Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just curious. At MQS some of the other machines have a new foot referred to the Trapunto foot. I tested it out on all of them and I so liked it. Any chance we could get this smaller size? Has or is anyone looking into that possiblity. It was very cool as it just kinda fits into the trapunto groves as you quilt with it. I really liked it alot. At least for the short period of time I played with it.

sewingjunky Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just a dumb question, because I couldn\'t make it to the MQS, but next year I will be. Do you mean the 1/2 inch round part of the hopping foot is smaller or shorter? Why was it better, what did it do? Thanks Brendalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi BrendaLee Yes the foot is just a very small circle without the 1/4 inch for rulers. What I liked is if you have a stuffed area that is a trapunto area with the extra batting the foot just hugs up against it and I found I had alot of control following a drawn design around that area. It had a good feel to it and let you get right up against the stuffing area for a nice clean stitch around the cut away. It didn\'t have the extra like our ruler foots do. It was more like 1/8 inch or less so you could get really close to the trapunto. Hope that was clear as MUD. lolol. Anyway I really liked it.

Susanri Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I wonder if you Get a dremel and grind one away I have a gadget girl foot I was thinking of doing that too. It would work for the Ultimate II feet but not sure on the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 APQS should be supplying us with this kind of foot. I have asked several APQS representatives about this. There are many options to the foot we have and I see those options as a boon for APQS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Someone once told me that if you change out your foot, you would have to re time the machine. I was looking into getting a foot that I could coat white in the background (inside of the foot) so I could see better when outlining applique\'s, etc. I\'d ask someone at APQS. I think that\'s why they don\'t make any other foot except the one we have. I havent looked inside my machine yet, but if you remove the foot, that in itself makes you have to re time it????? I\'m confused, but like I said, i\'ve not looked inside to see how the foot is attached, or what you\'d have to remove or disassemble (timing wise) that would mess it up.
