Hi Clare,
Just to let you know. Had a maiden voyage with new hoop. Awesome! Worked great with the XL6000 as it allows you to send more than one design to the machine and just goes on to the next one. With this Hoop........all I did was move it, test positioning and wham!!!!!! Loved it.

Just a note to tell you that I got my thread stand in and used it at a friend's house after I got it in the mail. We both liked it and she is ordering one. I had thread I was ready to throw away and it comes off of the holder like a dream and I haven't had a knot or a break since I have used it. I have tried several more expensive thread holders and they broke and/or did not handle the thread like this one does! Thanks so very much.....Sally

Hi Clare,
I just wanted to tell you that I have been using your presser feet since 1992 and I LOVE them. I originally brought them because my old Singer didn't offer too many extra feet. I had to call your company because I wasn't sure which adapter to use and I spoke to you. You were very helpful and gracious. Later, I also used them on several models of New Home machines. I always have great results, no matter which machine I was using. Also very informative was a video that you did that was available from Clotilde. I'm really looking forward to your newsletters. Thank you!

I use the pearls and piping foot all the time. I sewed lace trim with pearl inset on my niece's vail for her wedding. It went together sooo fast and easy. Thanks.

Thanks for carrying such awesome products. I use SIA on my commercial machine as well as my home machines. SIA eliminates the need for "Cool Sew" needles that are required for other adhesive backed stabilizers on my commercial machine. The Lingerie thread is a dream for embroidery on the home machines. It decreases the number of bobbin changes and eliminates the lint in the bobbin case. Clare, your help with the various products was invaluable! Thanks again. Anita Hohler

Hi, Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my hoop. I am using it for all my embroidery projects instead of the one that came with my machine. The S-I-A Sticky-Backed stablizer is a dream to use with the new hoop.

Thanks again,

Hi Clare:

I tried to call you this morning to tell you how much I love that pearls & piping foot – your instructions are so easy – it worked the first time I tried it.

I do believe it would have been harder if I hadn’t watched the video as you have tips on the video that are not in the book.

I am so impressed with you – thanks again for being so sweet (and intelligent).

AT LAST! CLARE~ OMG thank you a million times over. i dunno where creative feet have been for the past 20 years or so that i have had a sewing machine...BUT you helped me out today on how to use a technique...and for the first time in years...i have actually finished a project as i thought it out and wanted it to come out...in about 1.5 hours...WOOHOOO~ bless you....and this product....i have spent money on my crafts, and making the investment in your product and your company, has been the best spent money to date....to think i would have paid a sewing class to help me do what creative feet helped me do tonite.....

im sure you know the joy of sewing and crafting, so you understand my overexuberance....in waiting to receive my workbook and video soon....my nights will never be the same....lol feel better soon.

regards,
selma morales

I would like to thank you for your assistance with my recent order for SIA. Only one of the sizes I had requested was available, but you called me and the representative was able to come up with sizes of the product which fit my needs, even better than my original order. I only had enough SIA left for either a 5x7 or two 4x4 embroideries, so I would have been very disappointed if you had just backordered the product. Thanks so much for your great service.

Thanks for returning my phone call the other day. Thanks to you I
have stitched my first design in the square double quilters hoop for
the ULT and I am no longer afraid of the hoop (LOL). It was a big
cross stitch design and it turned out really great.

Are you or your mother Embird users? I have spent the better part
of the day trying to do a custom hoop in Embird, using the Embird
Tutorial and have had very little success. Please take a look at the
tutorial at the link below and see if you can tell me what it needs
to be told for the super long double wide hoop.

http://www.embird.biz/sw/embird/tutorial/cghia.htm

I use Embird to interactively split a lot of the really big
Embroidery Library designs - autosplit doesn't do well on these and
have no trouble interactively splitting for the Super L.

Played with Buzz Edit which does support the Super Long double wide
but abandoned it because it forces me to use the Brother pallette
for the splits which does me no good for an Emb Lib design with a
bazillion colors. It would be impossible to get the colors right
after splitting.


I did Sandy's cockatoo lesson and it looks OK using the autosplit
feature of Embird. However, some of the other designs don't do as
well with the autosplit function because I see visible seam lines
when previewing in 3D, which is what happens a lot because autosplit
splits it right down the center which is not always the best way. I
would like to create the custom one so Embird will assign
interactive splits to the proper hoop.

What I am looking for are measurements to accomplish what Marina did
for the hoop that is in the files section.

I emailed Dusan about supporting the ULT hoops and he said they have
no plans to do so. That was a little disappointing so I'm trying to
figure it out by adapting what Marina did and am getting nowhere.

Thanks for your help.

I tried to go into the testimonials and give one myself but was unable to get in. So here I am giving it to you. Hope you can put it in the correct place. Everyone should know how helpfull you are. I met you at a San Mateo Sew & Craft Expo and of course I bought the package. I have done a lot of quilting and just watching you with all your wonderful feet and demos I just couldn"t wait to check it out. I played the video and it was just wonderful to see. You went out of your way to make sure everything was explained and visual. Thank You
Darlene from California

So good to see you at the Arlington, TX Martha Pullen Market. It's always a pleasure to see you and any now products you have. You are an inspiration. Keep up the "GREAT" work. Jan Sanchez

Clare - just wanted to let you know that the Giant R for my Janome 9000 was
worth the wait -LOVE IT!!!

Question: I want to embroider a knit material - is the SIA that fits the
largest hoop all I need to hold it firm? Thanks

Lorraine

The ribbon/sequin foot works wonderfully. Thanks

I purchased the ribbon and sequin foot recently. What would have normally taken me several hours to complete, took me only a couple using the foot. It's works wonderfully. Thank you.
 

Thank you for the fast and informative service! I ordered creative feet on Wednesday and had them by Friday. My first project was welting. I used the pearls and piping foot. It was so easy, smooth and fast. The stitches were straight, and I had no problem matching the raw edges. I used a chain stitch, and after stitching the back to the front I removed them. I was finishing a crazy quilt pillow. I also made a jewelry pouch with the Satinedge foot, and the satin stitch. It looks perfect, so easy to align the stitching. Then a friend came over. She makes lamps. She said, "I wish I could sew the beads, and trims on the material for the shades". I just smiled.

P.S. I also cleaned and oiled my machine. Thank you.

Just a big thank you for the super fast response on the broken ribbon and  sequin foot that I sent to you for replacement on 11/23 as I received the new foot on 12/01. Can't ask for much better service than that. Also want to mention that my serger quit working halfway thru a pair of flannel pj's and the satin edge foot worked great to finish them up, albeit a little slower. Off to learn how to sew elastic on with the ribbon and sequin foot. Again a big thank you for fast service and for all the creative feet.

The beading foot has been a life saver with this wedding gown. The wedding is next Sat and the bride changed her mind about some of the trim this week. It sure was a lot easier than sewing by hand again.
Thanks and happy holidays!

I would like to mention that I purchased the creative feet awhile ago and as a professional designer and seamstress I must say that I used your pearl/piping foot to apply pearls onto a lace strip for decorative straps on a formal gown for a customer and this foot is a godsend.  I buy a lot of feet and attachments, some good, some a waste of time and money, but creative feet never disappoint and I highly recommend them to anyone.  Personally, I prefer the creative pearl/piping foot to the 2 Viking piping feet I have.  Thank you and I love to have your input on those two hoop it alls,      Sincerely,
Marilyn A. Endoh
 

I just came from A Sew&Quilt Craft Expo In Monroeville,PA. I must say that I was impress with the demo on Creative feet. I bought the #3 with video and I am looking forward to getting in to it. I never thought I would buy it, If it makes life easy and faster I'm for it. I can't wait for my Granddaughter to try it too. She 8yrs old She likes to sew too I look for easy things for her that don't take A lot of time. Thanks again for A good product.

Hello to everyone,
I am on the email list for Creative Feet and I have seen several mentions of them on various digests so I thought I would pass along this info for those of you that live in these areas.  She just had a GREAT turn out at the Sewing and Craft Expo here in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago.   Also I might mention that if any of you have the opportunity to purchase her video you will not be disappointed.  It is one of the best hands on videos I have ever seen.  I think it runs about 2 hours long and she goes into great detail and the camera is right up on the work-not a distant type shot and not her face - just the information that helps you use her feet and get very creative with them.

I bought "creative feet" years ago and have not used them to their full potential, but have used them on my daughters wedding dress and veil.  They installed on my Babylock Esante II and Viking1+ equally easy.  Have upgraded to the Designer1 since (love that machine).

I had seen these feet demonstrated at the Cincinnati Convention Center during a show (around) 9 years ago) by the young lady that invented these feet.  As I was glancing through your site, I was wondering if this was the same person with the "decoratively painted" sewing machine?   I went to the thread lubricant page and low and below there it was - I saw the sprinkles of paint on the close up picture.  I loved that idea but don't think I can afford to do that to my Designer baby !! <VBG>

P.S.  have most of your products but will need more in the future.  Glad I bought products from Clotilde Catalogue years ago before "inflation".  :-)) 

Jan,
I've got a bone to pick with you. Clare was in San Mateo (California) today at the Sew-Quilt Expo. She had everything there for sale. I'm holding you responsible for that particular charge on my VISA. I love Pearls & Piping which I got last October for my kid's Christmas outfits. Seeing the Satinedge and the Sequins and Ribbons feet in action was just too much for me. Had to get them and the workbook and the video. Of course the invisible thread they carry is just too cool (felt like hair) and I had to have some of that too. Thanks for leading me astray,
Cathi

Clare,

Just wanted to first let you know how much I enjoy your news letters and seeing your demonstrations at the fairs.
Eleta Cook, N

Hi Clare.  I have had all of your feet for some time and use the "pearls and piping" one the most.  I also purchased the workbook.  But, now I purchased the video throughClotilde and it is fantastic.  I am posting the following message to some of my sewing lists because I think they should be made aware of this video.  I had no idea that you finally did this.  I saw you at a show once and you are terrific. 

I was noticed that the "pearls and piping foot" you showed had an adjustment on the bar that attaches to the machine.  Mine does not.  I just snap it on and it fits perfectly.  I was wondering if maybe the reason was because the channel now is bigger than when I purchased mine years ago. 

Also, I notice that many people were confused about what ankle to screw on theirmachines and I have always just snapped it onto my Viking 1+ and Designer1.  So, I just answer people by telling them to just snap it on and forget the ankle if they have these two machines.  Am I correct?

"I love the special feet made by Creative Feet.  I use the "pearls and piping" foot the most and like it much more than the one by Viking.  It holds much bigger size cord.  I ordered the Workbook from them a long time ago, but just never got around to doing much with it.  Now, they have made their first video and it is almost 2 hours long. 

This video is terrific.  She shows you so many ways to use ALL of the feet that theyhave and you can do such wonderful things with it.  She covers more than is in the Workbook and does it all very well.  She makes it look so easy that I could hardly wait to get to the sewing machine and try these techniques. 

You can purchase it directly from her site.  I paid $29.95.  I am not affiliated in any way, just happen to love this.  Her site is www.creativefeet.com

Hello, I have been using your feet for about 10 years, well ever since you first introduced them at the
needlework show in Sacramento, Ca. They are wonderful, I also have the workbook and the video. Keep up the good work.
Irene in Ok

Hi, Clare.  I just want to thank you for the Pearls&Piping Foot!  I never thought I would actually ENJOY working on piping!  But now I do. In fact, when I finished the piping on the top I am currently working on, I love the way the foot guided over the cord when sewing my seams - it was sooooooo easy!  You are truly a sewer's angel!  Thanks once again.Mary

HI,

Well, I just finished watching the new video that Creative Feet has  available. IT IS GREAT!  I have used the CF for several years but there are some ideas there that I had not thought of.   It works in conjunction with  her workbook but I am one of those visual kind of people and this video is a  big help. GOOD WORK CLARE!!  If you have the CF I would highly recommend  contacting your dealer and getting this video. If you don't know of the closest dealer you can find a list at www.creativefeet.com  then click on  "Where to Buy".

Hi Sewing Queen,

I agree with Suzanne. Your video is #1, supercalafragilisticexpyaladocious.  Is that spelled right.  Oh well you get the point.  I am going to be sitting down soon and taking notes in my book.  One suggestion, it should come with a small tv/vcr and eight hours of personal hands on lessons from none other than the Sewing Queen Herself. But, until then we will just  have to hang at your show.  God bless you and you do deserve an award for this one.  ByeP.S. I do not mind getting responses from others.  Bye again
Lynne Coleman

Hi Clare,

Thanks for responding. I did try to help her out and she sent me a thank you  as well. I hope she gives you a call. I am almost through with watching the video tape and girl it is FABULOUS!!! The close ups are EXCELLENT! Your calm voice is so easy to listen to and makes it sound like anybody can do this. That helps to make it less  intimidating for us scardy cats who are afraid to let our spirits fly. I love  the way you have each thing in its timed sequence so if you need to get to a certain subject in a section you know exactly where it is. I am so impressed  with this video. I don't know where and how people win awards for videos but  you should win one for this one.  I guessyou can't tell how excited I am about it?  Keep up your good work. I know God will continue to bless your talents and  give you more wonderful ideas. Thanks for all the input you've already given  me. I appreciate your time and attention.
Keep on Keeping on!
Susan Costello
