I've been tackling orange flower petals for the FAF flower swap and things just are NOT working out! Tonight I was having trouble moving the hooped Solvy topped with basted pedals under the dropped feed dogs. I thought I'd slip my handy dandy $20 Freemotion Slider (aka a piece of plastic with a hole in it) to help me with the movement. I immediately sewed that sucker to my pedals. Drats! 
They don't call me Seamrippstress for nuthin!
They don't call me Seamrippstress for nuthin!I've had more technical problems and physical injuries with this project! My FAF's may end up with felted flowers!

That couching foot looks like lots of fun...I may have to get me one of those. I'm surprised you had trouble with your flower petals...I had mine hooped with some solvy and didn't have any troubles.
I just got a Bernina and one of those feet. I'm anxious to try it out.
I read somewhere recently that stitchers need a stash of chocolate to make ripping tolerable. I immediately got myself a stash. It does help a bit and, if that is the only time you eat chocolate, you probably won't get fat.
That's an interesting looking foot- I haven't seen one of those before.
And your new free motion slider now has 2 holes in it te he.
I'm so glad you finally attached that free motion couching foot. And I'm not at all surprised that you've found lots of items around the house in need of couching. I believe I read somewhere that it's a common problem in the homes of Bernina owners.
Everyone says that about cathedral windows, including myself until recently. That was always one of those quilts I loved but was no way am I ever going to tackle that. Turns out they are really simple. The work you do is far more complicated which is why I keep putting off playing with all my toys. I am a big sissy about ripping seams.
I like much your blog, your work is very interesting ^_*
Sorry you messed up the "slider", but it is kind of funny. Sounds like something I would do. ;-)
This is so cool! I've been wanting the couching foot for my Viking. I'll have to check it out this weekend as they are having a sale!
Your petals are great too!
Am sorry to hear work makes you fretful. Have you tried yoga before bed or meditating. Both have helped me be less fretful.
careful with that machine...you could do some serious finger damage with it!!!
