So much faster than using the feed dogs and the regular or walking foot! And the more you do it, the more perfect it looks. The nice thing is being able to rotate the fabric without lifting the foot every time.<br /><br />Leah, speaking of lifting the foot, I have been meaning to ask you if you have issues with being able to comfortably 'reach' the knee lifter on the 7700 when you're sitting down. I had to spread my legs so wide to push against the lifter that it was awkward and uncomfortable. This was AFTER I had already adjusted it as close to me as possible! So I ended up wrapping bubble wrap around the lifter until it was think enough that my thigh came more easily into contact with it and I could push with no strain. I hope that makes sense. Yes, I have long, skinny thighs (the only skinny thing about me anymore, lol), but still, they're not exactly just sticks, either. Did you have any trouble with reaching yours? Thanks!
