Machines that do not have a drop feed facility (to enable freehand darning/embroidery applications) will usually have a feed dog cover, either in the accessories or, available as an optional accessory.  This means that freehand embroidery/darning is virtually always achievable but that in some cases, extra accessories will need to be purchased.

If this particular application is important to you and you are unsure how your chosen model is configured or what accessories are included, please do give us a call to confirm - 01483 267777
