Mmm, I was wondering if I should use the straight stitch plate however I read in the manual that it was for use with the dual feed feet & embroidery?  Should I put on a dual feet foot?  

 It seems a bit fussy to have to change the plate, I didn't have to do that with my 7 mm machines.  Oh I shouldn't complain, it is a very simple procedure after all.  And one of the main reasons I bought the 15000 was for those big 9mm decorative stitches.

Well back into it today, I'm way behind in making a very sweet Sew4Home mother/daughter apron set for my daughter's birthday with monogrammed pockets & lots of tulle (definitely more decorative than for serious mess making!).
