It does a good job of curvy quilting with the feed dogs up. Look at Feetures or ask your Bernina dealer for a demonstration of how to use it. It is not for regular sewing!California Fiber artist and composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438651763194053429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678601059047959014.post-27323788426309161332015-12-01T17:59:54.577-06:002015-12-01T17:59:54.577-06:00For your first, or I guess 2nd try at sewing leath...For your first, or I guess 2nd try at sewing leather it's fabulous! Love the pockets on the inside. I never use anything but a narrow pipping foot to do the piping on the handles, and a plastic roller foot like you would use for sewing vinyl. See if you can return that foot. Because you can't use pins with leather make sure you have wonder clips, I don't use the metal office clips they leave marks on the leather. If you have a leather that marks easily, use a piece of fleece to cover the leather then clip it. Make sure that you are using a new (for every project) leather needle for your machine. And last but not least, don't be afraid to trim closer to your stitches, leather doesn't fray.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603334768411556019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678601059047959014.post-4246083359682226312015-12-01T11:07:19.283-06:002015-12-01T11:07:19.283-06:00So fun to see this!

The bright color really does pop off the denim. I still need to try doing some leather work.... Glad to know you don't need the special foot, but I'm sorry you learned the expensive way.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464425603323257233noreply@blogger.com
