Why a Free Motion Set Up with a Different Foot

I am not a fan of the so called hopping foot, free motion foot that came with my Bernina.  I loved the Janome foot and how you can adjust so it floats over your quilting, no hopping. 

Yes, no hopping and it helps in your creating.  I also love the Janome foot cause it is cut out as shown.

 I found that at Leah Day, http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/  amazing free motion quilter.  I took her class on Craftsy.  I love Craftsy, you can look at the class over and over.Free Motion Quilting a Sampler with Leah Day I started 10/06/13.  Yes, October 2013.  This is after I had a hip replacement.  Well, this summer in June 2014 I had a knee replacement and the month before my life changed forever, as you know, I lost my twin sister, my friend, my sewing guru, Mary.   Now, 2015, I am doing everything to bring joy, happiness back to my life.  I having a sewing room that looks like it was hit by a storm.  I am organizing and slowing practicing free motion quilting.

I have health issues plus eye issues.  I do things differently and slowly.  Classes are hard for me to keep up and my eyes give me fits if I need to stare at things for long periods of time.  I am not a marathon quilter.  It takes me twice as long to complete something.   I am a pokey quilter, but I still enjoy the process.
