This is a very inexpensive machine, only $120 on Amazon, and the manual is weak.
I'm teaching myself to do some work and having a hard time. It doesn't work very well when I freehand attaching straps to fabric - can't make the fabric feed sideways. Is making multiple "buttonholes" a good technique to form a durable connection?
The material is denim or "duck" and the straps are nylon tubes so it means going through 2 layers of each.
Would an embroidery foot enable me to feed the material from the left, right as well as front and back?
