Thanks for the tips and for your offer to help and answer questions, Bro'. I sure do appreciate it. Seems to me that trimmers sure are a "giving" bunch! There's a pro trimmer who lives by me ... I met him via Hotrodders.com ... and I'll be visiting him as soon as the weather warms up; he's been very helpful, too!
I have a welting foot but don't plan on using it as I don't like welting; I like French seams! I don't have a zipper foot - but I *will* order one now that you say you use it the most; I can understand why.
