  I tried to make a skirt and it all went wrong on the hemming. I wish I had found this before I attempted to hem my own. Very easy to understand, great skirt too. I hope I can make a circle skirt one day.

  OK< how do I know which foot is which? A presser foot? and what was the other one, a blind hem presser foot? My sweing machine came with some extra feet, but I don’t know which is which or what they are for…

    The presser foot is the normal foot, looks like the foot on the left, also comes in metal.
