Couching foot

[martyrayl]

I would love to see Ricky or Alex use the new automatic couching foot Bernina has. It is fun to use it but I need some inspiration for using it with my quilting. If anyone has experience with projects I would love to hear about them. Mickey

Uh-oh. Here I go again, admitting my lack of knowledge. ops:

Don't know what couching is. :?

Lynn, one of the Bernina videos from the homepage is on the Couching foot. It's a very cool way to stitch down embellishment threads, I think small ribbons or other fibers.

I recently used it to couch some chenille yarn around the edge of one of my small art pieces. It was very fun! A picture of it can be seen in my blog here....

I found that yarn and some other fun fibers to use with the couching foot at my local craft store. They're called "Adornaments" and they come in groups of coordinated colors -- much cheaper and easier than buying whole things of yarns and trims and such. They were actually with in the scrapbooking section.

Now that you say that, I remember what it is! Thanks for your enlightenment!
