New Website URL

 I have had the domain sewinspiredllc.com for almost 10 years now.  I don't use this blog as much as my Cabbage Patch blog and I feel that paying for a domain that I rarely use is a waste of money.  So once my domain subscription runs out, my new blog address will be sleepless-crafter.blogspot.com.  The change won't be in affect until February 2022.

Presser Feet Custom Organizer Tutorial

Image
Several years ago I purchased a bunch of presser feet and made my own custom organizer.  You can read about it here .  After a while, I realized I wasn't using many of the presser feet, so I decided to sell the ones I didn't use.  Then I created a new organizer, which is smaller and more easily fits into my desk drawer.  Here's a step-by-step guide how to make your own....

42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up.  There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable.  There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit .  The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses.  I couldn’t find any.  So…. I went through piece-by-piece and compiled a convienent list with photos, uses, and videos (also available on PDF ). They are in order from top let to bottom right of the box.
