Really good, thanks.
I was the only one in the morning so ended up getting a one-to-one demo.
They are going to check which adapter I need for my Bernina (none of us could work out for sure from their information) and I am getting the Westalee starter set. Carol who was doing the demo (I knew her from when she worked at a much missed quilt shop) showed me the next set and another make which she also uses, but she thinks and showed me that you can do a lot with just the basic set.

Sewingsue If you go onto the Westalee website you can type in your machine brand and model and they will tell you which ruler foot you need and whether you need the adaptor shank as well. I know I needed it for my Bernina 710. I think the adaptor shank was foot number 77...not super sure, it was a while ago and I have since sold the Bernina and bits.

I had looked @rubywishes , but I wasn't 100% sure about buying the generic foot plus adapter as I had heard concerns about going that way.
Carol said there had been a problem with another foot (can't remember the brand) not the Westerlee so I decided to go ahead and it only seemed fair to let the shop order. After all they are local and building the business and, with the promotion discount, not much more than I would have paid on-line.
