BOM August 2024 – Block 13 & 14

 

From February 2024 to December 2024, we will be creating Blocks which will assist you in understanding stitches, techniques and accessories. When completed, the blocks will be pieced together then quilted using different techniques. If you do not wish to create the Blocks each month, simply learn the techniques and use them to create or embellish other projects.

Ribbon Sequin Foot – Accessory of the Month August 2024

 

As with beads and pearls, it is easy to attach ribbons and even sequins with the help of our special ribbon/sequin foot. This foot is designed with guides through which ribbon or strung sequins can be inserted and it will allow them to feed through evenly as you sew. Besides affixing the ribbon, a wide ladder stitch can be used with narrow ribbon to make an easy and functional drawstring. Depending on the desired finish, use matching decorative thread or monofilament thread for a 3D effect. Layering the ribbons is also a creative option. This foot can also be used to attach elastic, see the below video links on how-to-use this foot.
