I needed something sparkly! Really, I bought this foot because I was having a terrible time with the 1/4" foot. I could not get an accurate seam allowance. It is basically the same foot but has an edge to keep the fabric edges at exactly the right distance from the needle. Who needs diamonds when you can get a perfect 1/4" seam? I've been piecing all day on a UFO. It's a Road To St. Louis pattern using leftover squares from the millinium swaps I did in 2000. This will be my third quilt from those swaps! I will still have squares leftover after I finish piecing this one! I did a little applique this afternoon but pooped out after about an hour. The internet was off all day due to storms last night. More expected tonight. We got our second email from our son who is in Iraq. This time he had a long list of things he needs. He is going to have some wild stories to tell when he gets home.
