How do I find a walking foot
Comments (9)I think a local sewing center is a good place to start. At least you'll be able to see the foot and ask someone there how it works, how to attach it, etc. But now that you know you need a 'low shank' foot, you should be able to find one on eBay or a variety of internet sellers. On Google, do a search for "low shank walking foot" and you'll find pages and pages of vendors. I just tried it for you [I don't want to offer advice until I try it!] and found listings on eBay and several others. One company (AllBrands) is offering a package on a walking foot, a 1/4" quilting guide foot and a free motion foot that seemed pretty reasonable. If you need the others you might want to consider doing that. If you only need the walking foot I think you can get one for under $20. Hope that helps, Kate...See More4 Foot Difference, worth it?
Comments (28)Alex, that is what I am leaning towards for sure. There was just some debate about the stairs that needed to be figured out on the design. Mush, I was just overbuilding to to 'be certain'. You say 37" is nice. I was thinking I would opt for 44 since rails will take up 3-4". I may be shaving them down to 38" if I am unable to have enough room after the landing turns (such as if the stairs cut too much in the front entry way) I am currently thinking with the extra 4' that will not be an issue...depending on how I manage the entry. Considering having a 6' dividing wall from entry and living room, then opposite of that a matching storage wall / closet to hide the cut out floor and allow coats, boots, etc to be stowed away. Suggestions? The closet is awkward with that niche, but I figured I would turn it into built in shelving floor to ceiling. Then there is an L shaped space for hanging clothes along one side and the back of the closet. Taking out the niche and giving it to the bathroom is a waste of space. I considered splitting the closet between both bedrooms. But where do you put dressers and a TV? I am not building the master bedroom to be excessive by any means. I want just enough room to get around the bed and feel comfortable (3' or so, I think) The garage is an awkward big. If it were wider and less deep it would be more efficient but location on lot doesn't allow that. I can easily use the extra depth for a riding mower, woodworking area, and my little motorcycle. dekeoboe :) Thank you for harping on me about my lax attitude on the stairs. So, Yes, that is true with only 78". So I am thinking about making the stairs less wide so the landing is less wide so I can fit an extra stair. Assuming 4' extra space is there at the front door, I think we could cut out one more I-joist to make sure I meet code. Do you have any other suggestion? Do you think my idea of having a storage closet with a false bottom to the right of the entry door will look funny when all said and done? What about having that section of the house serve as a foyer with walls on each side of entry? My only other thought is to have the stairs next to the garage wall, and behind the long kitchen wall. The garage person door would need moved further down so I can have enough stairs before the turn landing to not have to make any floor notches under kitchen cabinets. I really don't want to run the stairs perpendicular to floor joists. This post was edited by CTSNicholas on Sun, Feb 1, 15 at 15:37...See More7 foot doors with 8 foot ceilings - pictures?
Comments (27)E K, after extensive deliberation, we have decided to keep standard height interior doors throughout (6'8"). We are going with higher windows and sliding French doors in rooms with higher ceilings. I ended up deciding that the 6'8" interior doors looked fine and that windows can be set higher than the doors (I looked at lots of pictures and actual houses). I actually drew several walls to scale with the 6'8" doors and higher windows to ensure I would like that look. I decided the 7' doors were an unnecessary expenses and wouldn't look that much different from 6'8" doors. I think the higher windows will bring in more light and help the ceilings to look taller. There is one bedroom where I have one 8' wall that slopes up to 9' and I will have windows on both these walls - that was my trickiest problem. In that room, I've decided to have 6'8" window height on the 8' wall and 7'8" window height on the 9' wall with 6'8" windows. Its not built yet but I hope it looks ok. Below is a house that helped me think through my decision. It has higher windows than doors. In addition, in one room the windows on two walls are set at different heights. I think it looks ok and I think the sloped ceiling in my room will make the varying window heights look even more intentional.

In fact, I will be doing 8' sliding doors and windows set at 8' in our master bedroom that has 9' ceilings. This room will also have 6'8" interior doors. I can post pictures but it won't be built for several months....See MoreWalking Foot quilting trick
Comments (10)Teresa...It Looks Great, well done! I wasn’t crazy about straight line quilting until I took a class with Jackie Gering this year. Wow, her workshop and her quilts inspired me, but I’m not sure I have the patience to do more than a wall hanging or baby quilt With straight line. Your table runner really turned out nice, love it!!!...See Morechispa
