Thanks... I'll have to look for a quilting foot, as I'm not that great at the 1/4" hem thing, though the suggestion about the edge of the standard foot helped... ALOT!

I did finally get the elastic sewn on with the machne, the main problem was stretching the elastic while I sewed. Probably just takes practice. Plus it was easier once my mom suggested using a zig-zag stitch to stitch the elastic on.

Thanks again for everyone's advice. Though now I'm inspired to try the other outfits! Wish I wasn't going away for the weekend.
