I'm eagerly anticipating the release of the new Bernina ruler foot, and it also has adjustable height via a screw, so this was really useful information for me. :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667715646074106309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-47536694014001794892016-09-29T11:58:57.250-04:002016-09-29T11:58:57.250-04:00Thank you for saying so!

I don't mind them--they don't have the cheapo little bar that hooks over the needle bar like the basic hopping darning/fmq foot on a domestic-- instead the 'hop' is built into movement of the presser foot bar.<br /><br />I've tried the Janome sitdown machines and they're pretty wonderful. The Artistic 18SD machines are real work horses, but very basic. The newer Artistic 16 is built completely different and it's wonderful, though more costly.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-73068807017151550972016-09-29T10:20:12.669-04:002016-09-29T10:20:12.669-04:00I agree and love the thickness of the stitches.......I agree and love the thickness of the stitches....it looks wonderful!WDW70https://www.blogger.com/profile/10891123712558802380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-81080618820301784862016-09-29T10:20:00.935-04:002016-09-29T10:20:00.935-04:00I agree and love the thickness of the stitches.......I agree and love the thickness of the stitches....it looks wonderful!WDW70https://www.blogger.com/profile/10891123712558802380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-85721212514796947482016-09-29T10:17:54.024-04:002016-09-29T10:17:54.024-04:00I like the thick satin stitching.

I think they have the hopping foot. Since you said you don't care for a hopping foot, I'm just wondering how you like the SD quilting machines? AND, your quilted Swirly Bird is turning out lovely. I would not have known that the thickness wasn't planned if you had not mentioned it, visually it looks great.
