Happy Feet


I have said in the past that I was going to buy some presser feet for my Baby Lock.
They are very expensive, over €50 a piece around here and I delayed the purchase, until I was asked if I could sew 47 tutus for Jr C's dance school's year end show. That's a lot of tutus and I thought "man I need some serious equipment if I want this to be painless", so I started to look around for a solution. 
I prayed the Peter Lappin God of eBay Auctions (he is so successful doing that), bid on a whole set of little feet and won. According to the package, I saved about $200. That's all good.
I'm very impressed with the cording, blind hem and elastic feet, I am amused by the ruffling foot. I'm not sure the beading foot will get used much. 
I'm really happy, I have another set of sturdy tools to unleash my creative juices.
Meanwhile, the dance teacher decided to rent the tutus...

J'ai déjà dit que j'allais acheter des pieds presseurs pour ma Baby Lock.
Ils sont très dispendieux, plus de €50 pièce dans cette contrĂ©e alors j'ai attendu, jusqu'Ă  ce que la prof de danse de Jr C me demande si je pouvais coudre les 47 tutus du spectacle de fin d'annĂ©e. LĂ  je me suis dis : "il va me falloir de l'Ă©quipement sĂ©rieux si je veux faire ça sans peine" alors j'ai cherchĂ© une solution.
J'ai priĂ© le Bon Dieu des Enchères eBay de Peter Lappin (il y a beaucoup de succès), j'ai misĂ© et gagnĂ© une boĂ®te pleine de petits pieds. D'après l'emballage, j'ai Ă©conomisĂ© $200. C'est bon ça!
Je suis très impressionnĂ©e par les pieds pour Ă©lastique, ourlet invisible et passepoil, amusĂ©e par le pied fronceur, mais pas du tout certaine d'utiliser celui pour perles et paillettes. 
Je suis très contente et me demande déjà ce que je vais créer avec mes nouveaux outils.
Pendant ce temps, le prof de danse a décidé de louer les tutus...

  1. Too bad the teacher decided to take ballet tutu rented, but the upside is that you have the much needed equipment and only lacked the push to do it ... Now you are ready!

    1. I'm waiting to get a new machine to get a bunch, buying for the old one is moot!

  3. Hey Carmen, I think you lucked out really... you got your feet but you don't have to make 47 tutus. The Peter Lappin Gods are truly looking after you!
