Used it for years until I accidently had my needle in the wrong position and it hit the acrylic area and snapped it. The foot is still functional (cracked but did not break off) but it "clacks" a little sometimes. #24 is an open foot on a spring. Since it's metal it won't crack. I prefer the open foot visually. It is a bit problematic on the edges but I just slow down and hold things more carefully. I've not had any visual problems with the foot bouncing.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263046160725468711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770575295198290940.post-82258669948046552982011-03-10T11:36:48.056-06:002011-03-10T11:36:48.056-06:00Great commentary!
