What foot did you order for your machine?

Thank you for the excellent video tutorial. This is the first time I have understood what exactly a Karo Step is and how it differs from the standard baffles in other tq/uqs. I notice your video is featured on the RBTR website.
Cheers!

Here is a pic of my attachment. I ordered it from http://www.cutexsewingsupplies.com/. Be advised, I have a Juki 8700 machine and you may need to go to your sewing machine's web site to get additional attachments.

You can see the split. The right side of the split is attached to a spring mechanism that allows it to pivot while maintaining pressure. Hope this helps. G-Nut
