The Original Little Food

Today I got out my sewing box and oh my gosh, what I all I found in it and my sewing machine that I don't have the faintest idea what they are. I think, if I remember that I found 9 pressure foots/feet one of which is called the Original Little Foot by Lynn Graves says this presser foot you've wished for--designed by a quilter for a quilter.

Then says it is good for Little Log Cabins Curved Seam piecing Seminole piecing Doll and Toy making All your machine piecing

The right edge is 1/4 inch from center needle position for accurate

1/4 in seam allowance The left edge is 1/8 inch for from center needle position. This permits clearance of previous seam allowance. Curved seam piecing is much easier because there is less fabric under the left side of the foot; therefore you are less likely to get a tuck.

Actually after typing all of this I found it on the a web site.

is this the kind of pressure foot I need for piecing quilt tops or is there some other type? When I get back from the doctor tomorrow I am going to take a picture of the feet that I have, sewing machine ones, :) an see if you all can tell me just what they are. If you don't mind that is and if I feel like it. I did not find my rotary cutter but I found a replacement blade for it and it had been changed because it was written on as used. Now I have to wonder if the rotary cutter is in the basement with a bunch of material I had bought to make pj's for the entire family with or what. I must of had good intentions when I bought this sewing machine to really use it because I have enough junk/stuff/good stuff and stuff I have no idea what it is with in the sewing machine itself and the sewing box.

I found a walmart close to where I am going to the doctor tomorrow and also a store called sewing shop, I certainly hope that my friend that is taking me to the doctor will swing by these places and let me go in and take a gander. I will bring dinner home for dad tomorrow, that is the only way he will eat food that is not cooked at home, and then I am also, now this is if I feel like it, going to set up my table in the living room and start playing. I can't wait, hope if I can't get to it tomorrow that Tueday I can.

I plan on buying me all the tools I need tomorrow if I can find them and about 10 yards or more of cotton material, some thread and anything else that I find I think I might need. I also might just buy me enough material to make a full material quilt and play with quilting on it. If I do this it will have to be less expensive material to play with.

If I was able to jump I would be jumping up and down now. :) I just can't wait. Now off to bed because 6 AM comes early and I have business to take care of.

I see the other ladies got carried away thoughts of food and forgot to answer your question, so I thought I'd just put your mind at ease.

Yes, your Little Foot will be perfect for sewing quilt blocks, Jacqueline. I hope you had a good time shopping for the rest of your tools and material too. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Thanks Debra, I figured it was because I missed up the subject and put in food. Stupid me! Well I backed out of a lot of stuff but I do think I have enough to start. I got really excited because I did find some material for the backing of some squares that I bought on ebay. Actually it was the exact print as one of the squares so that, I think will look nice.

Thanks aga>I see the other ladies got carried away thoughts of food and forgot to

See, we're very food conscious - especially if the food is chocolate!
