I ordered some new feet for my sewing machine (all part of my plan to make OH a shirt - eeek!). I ordered a pair of rolled-hemmer feet, 4mm & 6mm - just had a quick go and it was a bit fiddly to get started but it worked. Very cool. I also got a foot which helps you attach bias binding to the edge of the fabric - not quite sure why - just liked the look of it hehe. Also, the 'sew what! skirts' book mentions using bias tape to finish off edges. I had a quick go and it's a bit fiddly but makes a neat edge when you get going with it. I also got a buttonhole chisel - haven't tried that yet. I love getting new gadgets!
Oh - also - thumbs up for Jaycotts for speedy service.

Thinking of sewing machines with feet always makes me giggle!!  Sometimes I wish mine DID have feet so it could walk itself to the table rather then me carrying the great heavy thing!!
