For ohsewcute - make the tiny cord in the same fashion as you make the tube for the bows. Sew a seam about 3/16" from the folded edge. Press the seam allowance using a small wooden dowel (well sanded) or a length of wire to insert in the tube. Trim the seam allowance to about 1/8" then turn the tube. Or you can purchase a ready made cord at the fabric store or crochet your own cord or use a small length of jewelry chain or yarn or ribbon or a string of beads or crystals or... my head is spinning with possibilities.

I envision using this row of bows around the tiered hems of a dance costume or around the sleeve of a suit jacket or along the edge of a table cloth or place mats or instead of a ruffle on a little girl's dress or curtains. You could sew the bows onto a ribbon to use as a strap for an evening gown or a purse or even as a choker necklace or headband. I have got to get out my tube turner and get to work!

I must say that I love all the feet that came with my Viking D1 as well as a few other feet I've used through the years on my other machines - adjustable zipper foot, ruffler, 1/4" gauged quilting foot, binding foot, pintuck foot, rolled hem foot, walking foot, silicone coated foot for leather and vinyl... Everything has value but lately I've found the Edge Stitching Foot w/ Guide to be one of my most useful accessories. For someone entering middle age with a waistline that, sadly, goes up more than down, I need to alter the waists of my pants and skirts more often. This foot has made finishing waistbands so much easier, allowing me to stitch in the ditch more accurately than any other.
