Basically you just whack on a darning foot, they usually look like this.
And you drop your feed dogs (not your bag of Puppy Supercoat, but the little teeth on the bottom plate of your sewing machine that pull your fabric along) and then just sew to your hearts content. Coz you have your feed dogs down you actually just move your fabric around underneath the needle yourself.
Some people actually use this process to create intricate free-motion sewing artwork, I reckon if you were acurate enoughyou could even use a embroidery hoop and do some detailed design like these pretty brids on Urban Threads.com.

Seersucker Fabric and One Brown Quilt Cover from an Op Shop = $5
Free Motion Sewing Adventure = $0
One Happy Puppy = Priceless
