John asks…

My Grandmother gave me her Babylock sewing machine. I made a dress but the bobbin thread keeps bunching up????

Answers:

Make sure when you are filling the bobbin the thread is even, if it is not then the bobbin will not ‘sit’ correctly when being used.

Maria asks…

Is there a darning foot for the Babylock Grace sewing machine?

I want to try out free motion quilting on my machine, but I can’t find anything that specifically says it’s for that machine. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not there is one. Thanks!

Answers:

According to the BL site, this machine does not come with a darning/free motion accessory/foot.

You can get one at a BL or Brother dealer. JoAnn may also have one that will fit (it most likely will be White brand) or on-line at Clotilde.

I have BL and an Elna and the feet from JoAnn and Clotilde fit both machines.

See the chart for Brother (the little foot is for 1/4″ seams and the big foot is for free motion) – http://www.clotilde.com/pages/which_foot.html

It is also handy to have a walking/even feed foot to help keep the layers from shifting when quilting.
