One of the accessories I bought when I bought my new machine<\/a> was an Ultraglide foot and needle plate package<\/a>**. I thought it might be something I never used, or rarely used, but my mind is changed after I tried it.<\/p>\n

First, it is super easy to change needle plates on this machine. There is a screen, so after about 2 clicks the needle plate pops up and is ready to change. No screws  or screwdrivers involved. <\/p>\n

\"Sewing<\/a>

I used it when working on the Zip It Up vinyl pockets and it felt like there was no vinyl involved. No stitckiness. The vinyl pockets moved through the machine as if they were regular fabric. It was unbelievable!<\/p>\n

I was talking to my Austrian mom today and she was telling me about the high one of her sons gets when skiing in the highest part of the Alps. I get the same adrenaline rush when something like this foot and plate happen on my sewing machine! No heights, no ski gear involved.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I am really happy I bought this and will make sure to use more vinyl now that I have it.<\/p>\n
